Would you play the perceived strongest team possible on Saturday? 09:29 - Oct 25 with 17655 viewsMullet

By this I mean would you keep Adeyemi and Garner in and hope to see a better 90 mins from both in terms of fitness. Those two, Spence and McG are under question for me to different degrees.

Burton were possibly the weakest man for man side I saw last season, but had an awesome work ethic and pressing game that kept them up. I'd be tempted to completely change the side just because.

However, we've not really got any sort of rhythm going thanks to the forced changes of the last few weeks. It'd be nice to think we could limit changes to injuries only and see if we can get back to some sort of run. There's that extra game this month and a chance to recapture a lot of ground or go tumbling.

I can see Sears starting as well as Ward if Mick does opt to change it up. One was very good earlier in the season and has been getting a few assists, the other looked a bit better off the bench this past couple of games.

Waghorn's due another goal again soon surely. I'd be happier seeing him up top if Garner is struggling.

....they were either still carrying knocks or not match fit on Sunday.

They could both miss out.

I'd probably start both Downes and Nydam, dependant on Adeyemi's fitness.

Iorfa will/should come in for Spence who was dreadful on Sunday. Iorfa is marginally better, but still pretty crap.

It's a toss up between which show ponies we play out of McGoldrick and Celina, both will just do a load of stepovers and then miss the target.

Sears and Ward may well play, but nobody will notice anyway.

Maybe Folami will get a spot in the squad?

Would be fine with the two youngsters ahead of Skuse if Adeyemi isn't fit. A switch to 4-3-3 puts McG out for me. Celina/Sears/Ward/Rowe being the only four in the squad worth playing out there in that scenario.

I'd rather he went with 4-2-3-1 and stuck by it. This does seem like the game where if Celina is going to arrive finally it should be this weekend. You won't get a team more likely to be stretched by him given how they play. It'll either be a shut out or he gets kicked and harried until we make a break through.

However bad Spence was on Sunday, he was better than Iorfa was at Sheff U.

....was the most enjoyable I've seen this season.

I don't think they've all got the savvy to play in the Championship yet, but I don't see the issue with putting 3 or 4 of them in.

It might give some of the so called 1st team a bit of a wake up call.

I hear that Blooters. But I don't care any more to be honest. Our first team don't look savvy enough to put any kind of form together to get us promoted, so what are we all doing here? Paying to watch well paid people play average football and hope we don't get relegated? Zero ambition = zero passion = zero point in going to the footie.

It all feels a bit RIP ITFC tbh, and I'm not going to get myself down or depressed about this cos life is too short. I'm out.

Until we beat Burton :)

Spence had a poor game on Sunday (out of position imo) but he's a better footballer than Iorfa.

Got to try and get your best team fit - no away games in this league are easy and we really need to grab a win.

Think we need to try and focus on a set up we want to play going forwards and no time like the present.

I'd personally play them both and withdraw them as they start to tire.

....the only thing we, as a club, now have is passion.

There are a few players that show it. Chambo, Knudsen, Smith, maybe Bart and Garner.

Despite all of those players limitations as footballers, I think they care.

Passion needs to come from the top.

Evans has none.

Agree with this. This is the closest we've been to having a fully fit squad to choose from, we need to settle on a preferred formation and line up if we're going to do anything this season. It's good to have options and it's not really a problem to have two or three spots in the team where players are rotated but we need the foundation's of a settle system in place pretty quickly.

Mick needs to decide on a system and a stick to it. 433 with McG playing wide was tactically naive at best, realistically he's not going to track back, Norwich saw this and exploited it.

MM's staple is 442, I can't understand why he's gone away from it.

Haha me neither. I had half a feeling that Mick had bought him and Adeyemi to replace Skuse but that would be ridiculous wouldnt it, expecting Mick to have foresight and replace one of his favourite Premier League standard players.
