Team tomorrow 14:17 - Jan 13 with 4283 views | itfcjoe | ------------------Walton------------------ Donacien---Woolf---Burgess---Davis ---------------Evans----Morsy---------- Burns----Chaplin-----Harness-------- ------------------Ladapo------------------ Subs: Hladky, Edmundson, Humpheys, Aluko, Broadhead, Hirst, Jackson Not in squad: KVY, Leigh, Keogh, Luongo, Edwards, Ahadme Fairly confident that 10 of those will start, just not sure on Harness or Broadhead, but think MH will get the nod. The bench is tough to pick, when you can use 5 subs it is stupid to only be able to name 7 and not 9. | |

Team tomorrow on 15:18 - Jan 13 with 1186 views | LankHenners | Think Broadhead will get the nod over Harness, which I'm basing off McKenna chucking Davis straight in after signing him - he's not afraid to back a new big signing rather than make them wait for an opportunity. I trust him to manage it very well but time to be ruthless - if there's a better player available they get to start. Can't rule out Hirst starting for similar reasons but do think Ladapo has shown (recently and in the game against them earlier in the season) that he deserves to start instead. | |

Team tomorrow on 15:21 - Jan 13 with 1169 views | OldFart71 | Thought the fact that Jackson played away at Plymouth was one of the reasons we lost. Playing him wide in front of Donacien allowed Plymouth to overload against Donacien where many times he found himself having to cover two running at him and Jackson was probably played because Burns was injured. Think it would be foolhardy to start Jackson up front as he's o.k. where you want to stretch teams. That isn't my opinion of Plymouth they are a solid bunch who in reality we should have got no worse than a draw against. Really we need the three points, but that depends on every player being at his game as they will be quite content to either grab a point or three. | | | |

Team tomorrow on 14:51 - Jan 13 by Herbivore | Think definitely ten of that line up looks almost certain to start. Broadhead/Harness is the big call, imo. Harness was great against Oxford but far less convincing in other performances since his return from injury. Could see him and Hirst come on together off the bench. Also think either KVY or Leigh will be on the bench so there's cover for the full backs, although lord knows who will miss out. Aluko offers us control off the bench so tough to leave him out, but Jackson offers pace when the game is stretched and legs are tiring and he can cover a few roles. |
Yep, a tough one to pick for that bench....I wonder if Humphreys can deputise as a 10 role there so less need for Aluko? | |

You can't lose that experience from the bench Joe. I'd say we lost points in games which had we had Aluko to bring on we may have seen the game out easier as he just knows how to retain the ball. | |

Team tomorrow on 15:32 - Jan 13 with 1117 views | PrideOfTheEast | I was thinking Leigh makes that bench to provide cover for the left hand side? I hope Broadhead starts in place of MH. | | | |

Team tomorrow on 15:38 - Jan 13 with 1094 views | StokieBlue | I think that's pretty much right, although I would like to see Broadhead starting, just that something extra against the top team. We've been struggling to score against some teams with the line-up you've listed there. Hopefully Hirst will get a good 30 minutes after Lapado has run them around, his finishing looks excellent. I'd really prefer wingbacks but I know that's not going to happen. SB | |

He can definitely slot into that 10 role but can he keep hold of the ball and find and make space in the same way Aluko does? We really missed the control and composure Aluko can bring when he was injured and not sure we have a like for like, much as Humphreys is quality. The fact it's so hard to pick a bench shows the depth we have now. | |

Team tomorrow on 15:40 - Jan 13 with 1080 views | cbower | Pretty much agree with your starting 11 and possibility of Broadhead instead of Harness. Feel KVY or Leigh could make the bench in place of Jackson. KVY offers plenty of defensive versatility at both full back positions and also a bit for Burns. With Hladky, KVY, Edmundson, Aluko, Humphreys, Hirst and Broadhead on bench we have complete defensive, midfield and attacking cover. Like you say, tough on those that don't make it. Ridiculous for L1. No excuses. | |

Team tomorrow on 16:05 - Jan 13 with 1022 views | strikalite | Yep agree, Harness will start without a doubt, it's all about that bench in the game now, the days of your best side starting has gone... | | | |
Team tomorrow on 16:32 - Jan 13 with 990 views | clive_baker | I'd probably have KVY on the bench to cover off both fullbacks. Don't see much value in Jackson there, although I expect you're right. | |

As crazy as it seems to say it on the basis of a handful of games, I don't think he's far off being able to. He has the skills and the composure, perhaps he might not yet have the nous under sustained pressure, but I definitely wouldn't think it a risk to give him that role under instruction. I also love Aluko. | |

There's always a need for Aluko. He's the GOAT. | |

You opt for 2 full backs on the bench and no full time CB when we have 2 not in the squad, that’s too risky imho | |

Think so, pretty sure Phil has some sort of vegan poster quota to fulfill now that it's a protected characteristic. | |

Team tomorrow on 17:10 - Jan 13 with 915 views | CityBlue | I think any squad without Edwards, Leigh, KVY and Jackson would seem harsh considering their efforts over past few games but ultimately the gaffer knows best and we have brought fresh talent in for a reason. Our home scoring record sucks compared to the others and also when compared with our away goals scored. I think we have 1 x CB on the bench and then god knows who else. Can Edwards play in goal? | |

Team tomorrow on 17:56 - Jan 13 with 879 views | Nutkins_Return | Had it the same Joe when I posted other day but Aluko I had for Harness and Chaplin left. Yours is just as likely but we had the same 10 as our nailed on. My thinking was could see Harness and Hirst on as a pair. I did add, just wonder if a sneaky temptation to play Humphreys as the 10. He was great other day and must be in such a high and ful of confidence with goal and new deal. [Post edited 13 Jan 2023 17:58]

Good shout Joe on 00:54 - Jan 14 with 715 views | unstableblue | It’s good management to say to Harness and Ladapo, ‘I still believe in you, go and show me why you deserve to keep your place’ But I do think though that McKenna thinks Harness’ form is intermittent. Broadhead has a chance to start. Bench very hard to call… Leigh may have a chance | |
