Coburn

I would like it to be

Glover

Ayling RVDB Fry Thomas

Hackney O’Brien

Crooks Azaz Greenwood

Forss

You think and want Crooks to be playing right wing?
 
He’s been responsible for more goals against than any other player in the squad - simply not good enough to start every week in a side that aspires to be promoted. I don’t get how he’s achieved near cult status whilst stalwarts like Crooks (who cost less than Engel) seem to be a regular target for the boo boys
I’d love to see any stats that back up your claim that Engel has been responsible for more goals conceded.
 
I honestly don't see why McGree can't start - what's he made of, candy floss? Qatar is 3 hours ahead of the UK, so jet lag isn't a factor - 12.30 kick off's like 3.30 for him anyhow.

McGree owes us. He's had a long lay off and as soon as he got fit he was off. Get him in the team.
You do realise he played a game on Friday? They weren't just out there on a team building exercise.

Not really a winger position unless Jones is playing it is it? But he usually ends up out there. We need Crooks physicality today, I think we’re quite soft in midfield generally and he’s the only one who doesn’t get bullied.

Well Forss is the obvious one. We have never played Crooks in that position since Carricks been here. Wouldn’t suit him.

I get the argument for starting him don’t get me wrong but surely it would be instead of Azaz rather than shunt him as a right sided forward.

I would go with Azaz though.
 
If that team is right - hate to see our team ‘leaked’ by the way as it just gives opposition an advantage, Crooksy may be playing the big lad up top role to hold the play up and win some flick on’s for Forss, Azaz and Greenwood. That side should be good enough to beat Sunderland - they will probably go down to 10 anyway as the daft lad O’nions will lose his head and crash into stupid tackles. A comfortable 2 or 3 nil for me.
