4 loanees :(

No Emmanuel, Kenlock, El-Mizoni.

At least Dozzell is in, hopefully Ndaba gets a run out. And perhaps with Jackson and Quaner on the bench we get to see Jackson up from in a 2.

Does Lambert have a pathological hatred against two up top now? We can’t score but he persists with 4-5-1 and shoving Judge out wide. Wonder if this is an indication that Keane may stay but Quaner will definitely go in the summer? Centre of midfield really lacks experience; to counter my first sentence I guess that’s why he’s gone for a three there.

It's all about building momentum for next season, innit, that's why we're playing three loan players.

/edit - four loan players.

Same formation. Glad I won’t be there today. He is chasing ST sales away. Judge out wide is just a joke. Four loanees who probably won’t be with us next season.

Not sure you can say it's a hatred, some managers just don't use it. Today two up top is outdated, does he then become a dinosaur for going to it? We don't really have any decent strikers beyond Keane who can't stay fit.

The only argument for 2 up top is the others are so bad as lone strikers they need a partner to play there.

all I can think is that he doesn't rate two strikers at the club to play as a 2?

Four - Bree, Elder, Chalobah and Keane.

In fairness I can see Elder and Keane being here next season but would have preferred to see Nydam play ahead of Chalobah, as much as the latter has improved this season. I guess we have little choice with Bree if Emmanuel isn’t up to it.

I'm sure that we'll put in an Encouraging Spell of midfield tippy-tappy for 20 minutes before losing 2-0 to send us into League One with some optimsim in our hearts about seeing another Improved Performance.

That's a daft statement given what has happened, the ST drive, the Jonestown like worship of Lambert and zealots sensitive to any criticism kind of him.

Every argument that Keane will be here next season. The two full backs had a nightmare in places in a terrible defeat, I'm not sure what else Lambert can do but keep guessing until something clicks.

Moaning about it when we're already down is daft.

Surely the 20 minutes' midfield tippy-tappy we'll see at some point will have them all flocking to lay out their money?

And we’ve looked far more effective playing with two up two since January than we have with 4-5-1; the difference between the first and second halves against Birmingham was chalk and cheese.

But that's one half of football against a fairly limited side and a very tactically rigid manager. Hardly, a huge sample size.

Of our mega run of draws the only constant was that we couldn't hold a lead wasn't it?

Given the result and performance last time out plus we only played a couple of days ago, rotating the squad makes sense. Bishop and Dozzell are still not long over major injuries, so you cannot expect them to play every game too.

Giving Gerks a game is probably with one eye on whether we give him a new deal.

Would be good to see Nbada get some game time.

I'm not convinced that I'm not a better option than Emmanual at this point, sadly.

And I played CM.

Yet even if we field non loanees and lose people will say we're doomed. Lambert has got a ridiculous task of getting results to bring optimism and blood players for next season and for me he's done a good job of rotating and trying to get a balance.

You never know, Keane might be here and wouldn't 100% rule out Elder.

Wonder if this is a nod towards Elder’s future at Town? We need another LB, he’s out of contract & got promotion with Wigan.

Skuse was goosed vs Preston & Emmanuel couldn’t play again after that 45 mins. Seems about right choices for me.

Keane is only striker who can play 451

Warren speculated that. Would be a hell of a fall from grace given Leicester fans expected him to be back pushing for a place or higher up after his time here.

He's not played a lot whether that's being the 6th loan in part or injuries, but it seems to have hampered him. We might benefit there where we missed out on Pennington stalling before he came to us, rather than flourishing here.
