Team for Saturday

He played over 50 minutes for Australia on Friday and played some part in all their games in January, so must be fit enough to play in the Championship. McGree for Barlaser or Howson for me. Play Hackney in his old position.

Crooks should be on the bench if recovered, for me for Bridge.

Carrick said Dieng was starting training this week possibly too soon for a bench place.
 
Think Hackney needs a rest - been disappointing last few games. I would be disappointed to see Engel dropped but can’t see Thomas sitting on the bench for too long. For me then -

Glover

Ayling
Fry
VDB
Thomas

O'Brien
Howson

McGree
Azaz
Greenwood

Forss
 
The result of having to let Chuba go has really had an effect. I suppose we are a club who sells to balance the books , and keep on the right side of the fair play rules, but with Akpom Boro would certainly be in the middle of the playoff group.

We really need to get better at something. We get big crowds. These are historically big crowds paying more than most for a ticket but smaller teams seem able to do so much better than us. We don't seem able to develop forwards from the academy. We lose our better players to balance the books. We can't sell merchandise or stock it. We can't pull pints quick enough despite being swamped with bar staff.
 
Greenwood deserves another go upfront he was impressive on Sunday.

Greenwood/Forss (if fit)

Forss (if fit)/Greenwood.

I think Forss will be on the wing if he's fit, but I'd play him up top.

This probably.. Not bed wetting , but with a 10% chance of top six , I'd start to get ahead of the game with half an eye on next season.

Feels a tad harsh on Engel , but we have to have a look if Thomas is an option for next year.

I'd happily have a look at O'Brien instead of either CM ( especially instead of HH if they aren't expecting him to stay )

It's greenwoods to lose at the moment up top .
Grafted very hard last weekend.

Shifting the team about to put Forss up top is crackers if he's scoring a goal a game RF , and grafting back
 
Forss needs to start upfront. Have McGree Azaz and greenwood behind him. The rest of the team more or less picks itself.
