If Evans is fit..

then this leave LJ a difficult decision to make as to who he leaves out of his 18 match day squad.

Potential team:
Patterson
Winchester Flanagan Doyle Cirkin
Evans Neil
Gooch Embleton Mcgeady
Stewart

This would leave 7 subs from the following 10 players:
Burge
Huggins
Alves
Wright
O'Neil
Pritchard
Broadhead
O'brien
Hawkes
Diamond

Who do you think will be left out?

 

A good problem to have

 

Hawkes would be left out and I think diamond will be loaned out

 

Wright, Hawkes and Diamond would miss out from those you’ve listed, for me.

 

He could use 09 sparingly cos of his shoulder issues, but will he?

 

I'd leave Evans on the bench for this one, we are playing well and don't need to rush him back

Patterson
Huggins Flanagan Doyle Cirkin
Neil Winchester
Gooch Embleton O'Brien
Stewart
​

Subs: Burge, Alves, O'Nien, McGeady, Pritchard, Broadhead, Evans

 

I would rest Gooch and Geads bring in diamond and broadhead.

 

That's 2, who do you think will be the third?

 

That's why I didn't have him in my starting 11.

 

Out of the squad, along with who else?

 

Wouldn't risk Evans, I'd make sure he was absolutely clear before bringing him back, anybody any idea about Burges injury.
At home we don't need 2 CH on bench and we could use Diamonds pace more imo.
so I'd leave out Evans, Alves and give Gooch/ Geads a week off.

 

Burge back in training tomorrow apparently

 

F*ck me av got a semi on ( in a non gay way) looking at that. Championship here we come.

 

If he’s fit, he’s STILL my first name on the team sheet.

 

I'm pleased this is LJ's decision and not mine.

There's a number of things for him to weigh up.
1) Is Huggins fit enough to start? If so, move Winny into the middle.
2) Is it worth risking bringing Evans back too early? For me that's a 'no.'
3) Will 09 be able to play his normal game? If no, does he send him for the op now instead of trying to nurse him through games for the rest of the season?
4) Does he persevere with Gooch and McGeady or go with the ones who did so well in midweek?
5) After scoring 3 in midweek, does AOB start and will he tweak the shape of the team to play 2 up top?

FWIW, My 18 would be:
Patterson
Huggy, Doyle, Flanno, Cirkin
Winny, 09
Neil, Embo
AOB, Stewart

Subs: Burge, Alves, Geads, Gucchi, Broadhead, Pritchard, Diamond

 

Its a bloody nice position to be in though. My opinion for what it is worth any one of them 18 could be a 1st 11 player. Strength in depth is superb.

 

Aye, good call mate.

 

That's spot on mate. On the transfer thread there's still talk of more coming in, so there'll likely be even more of a selection headache for LJ in the next few weeks.

 

Neil must play midfield!

 

Our bench will be the best in L1 ...

... it can be the difference that takes us up.
