Interesting team. Thought we might see Evans on the bench but I guess they want to give him more time. Jobe up top with Ba & Aouchice either side?
Delighted to see Rigg again. Hoping Ekwah has his A game with him. That as a midfield 3 should be excellent.
Plenty of energy up front, that's where we should try to play most of the game imo ... ... 1-0 to Sunderland, Aouchiche with a free kick, Ha'way the Lads!!!
I think you're right and those two are the key, keep running at them and getting the ball forward ... ... the last thing we need is a 90 minute midfield battle.
Just purely to get Pembele in the team with styles only being on loan so don’t see the point in wasting minutes on him. Not saying Pembele looks ready like but just trying to get the permanent lads some experience. Does upset the balance like but Hume has played there plenty
I've just studied that team and don't think Dodds could do any better tbh ... ... players in positions they'll be comfortable with, good options on the bench. Really looking forward to this now. (Will have Mansfield at Wrexham on my other screen, big big game.)
He's a slippery customer up front. We need to be playing the lads we signed to play up there instead of someone who would probably end up ahead of Patterson in goal if they couldn't put him anywhere else.
