Trouble is, these PL defenders don't tend to run out of steam. |  |

Chappers start on Saturday please (n/t) on 21:00 - Oct 23 with 3110 views | Kev_W | Chaplin has a role to play but rarely as a starter. He can still be a useful sub, offering a different threat to our other attackers but particularly against teams like Brentford we need to match their physicality. At the end of the season Chappers will have been involved in a decent number of games. Hopefully he will have bagged a goal or two but his main role is in the leadership group helping get te best out of the whole squad. In a newly formed squad that role is crucial. |  | |  |
Chappers start on Saturday please (n/t) on 21:05 - Oct 23 with 3082 views | bournemouthblue | I'd support that, he seems hungry and obviously has plenty of experience playing in this system .I think Szmodics in the long run will usurp him but he certainly added something on Saturday that we had desperately been missing |  |

Chappers start on Saturday please (n/t) on 21:38 - Oct 23 with 2995 views | Garv | He showed on Saturday what he can add to the team. He's just always going to struggle in terms of physicality and getting around the pitch, sadly, which I fear will limit his minutes. He'll score a handful across the season, though. |  |

Chappers start on Saturday please (n/t) on 00:31 - Oct 24 with 2775 views | BondiBlue | Keen. Forget all about who is the better player for a moment. We're entering a dogfight and for that you need teamwork and confidence. Omari is a brilliant footballer bit it looks like he's overthinking it at the moment. We've built tactics around chappers for years now and he's got a point to prove. Leif hasn't found a blue shirt from a corner all season yet as soon as chappers gets on against everton, the old low cross to chappers at the near post works. Omari by my count has managed the lobbed ball over the top of the left back for burns once this season. Chappers has done it at least twice from his 30ish minutes in total off the bench. For all he's done for us, he deserves a proper chance. Plus he'll work his tits off. |  |

Chappers start on Saturday please (n/t) on 12:45 - Oct 24 with 2388 views | TractorFrog | I'm not sure there is any evidence that Szmodics is better than Chaplin. He scored more goals last season, but in a different position, while Chaplin helped his team to 2nd in the league rather than 19th. I would definitely start one of them at number ten against Brentford. Hutchinson on the right. And surely it has to be Broadhead on the left. |  |
| They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all! | Poll: | Who should start in CM with Cajuste? |

You've not been watching Omari closely enough Frimmers. |  |

If Szmodics isn't better than Chaplin, why on earth did we pay £9m for him, aged 29? Unless McKenna made a big mistake, he has to he ahead in the pecking order. |  |

Chappers start on Saturday please (n/t) on 15:20 - Oct 24 with 2014 views | itfcsuth | Still a strange one he has barely featured. Such an integral part of this team, and the way we have played for near 2 years. Muric O'Shea - Woolfenden - Burgess - Davis Morsy - Phillips Hutchinson - Chaplin - Szmodics Delap |  | |  |
Chappers start on Saturday please (n/t) on 15:57 - Oct 24 with 1941 views | IPSWICHFANITFC | Not sure if I would go with Chaplin from the start for this game, but definitely someone I'd be looking at for the Leicester game. I would probably tweak the system a little bit if it was me personally. I'd be more in favour of going towards more of a 3-4-3 for this one which is still probably quite similar to how we would line up when we are on the ball. Muric O'Shea Woolfenden Burgess Burns Morsy Phillips Davis Delap Hirst Szmodics I would bring Hirst in. Brentford play with some big lads at the back which will suit Hirst more than Delap having a physical battle. I'd have Delap and Szmodics playing close to him. Delap is a threat when dribbling with the ball and Szmodics is happy to run beyond a striker, something we'd need to do to disjoint a back 3. It's something that might not be popular, but I don't like how we've performed away from home this season and it's something I would try. Omari has been exposed to a lot of football with us and England U21's this season. It's not a case of dropping him, partly protecting him too but he could be a really good impact player off the bench for this game. |  |

... and be a *leader*. We really need that in attack as much as defence. |  |
