Pretty confident on those 10, fitness permitting. Right side is a bit harder to call, I think McAteer is possibly the more pragmatic call that McKenna will go with, although he played most of the game on Tuesday so Egeli might be favoured.
What are we saying? |  | | |  |

This right hand side seems some what of a stumbling block start of this season and hopefully something that gets sorted sooner rather than later really
I can't see any other than McAteer simply because of his experience but I fully expect Egeli to make this spot his own by Christmas |  |

Be shocked if it wasn’t McAteer in the circumstances / atmosphere etc. |  |

Egeli I think.
Mckenna said how impressed he was with his off the ball work vs Pompey. He is rested and I don't think Mcateer has done anything at all to warrant a place in that team. |  |

The right side and the 10 i believer is what's stopping us flourishing.
There's no threat on the right regardless who we pick as it's a raw youngster or someone who's struggling to express what sort of winger he is.. plus we have furlong who's defensively sound but doesn't like to play the balls over the top for the winger.
In the 10. We have an issue is that none of 10 choices are creating ball players. They are both shadow strikers. S this is an issue as its what makes our front line function. |  |

The internet tells me Liam Manning is playing a 3-4-2-1 so going to be difficult to break through, hoping that McKenna decides to go 4-3-3 to blunt their attack and win the midfield despite their attempts to overload.
Palmer
Furlong O-Shea Greaves Davis
Núñez Matusiwa Cajuste
Szmodics Hirst Philogene
Sixty minute substitutions ? Depends on how the game is going, but definitely Jack Clark for Philogene, maybe if he is fit enough Harry Clarke on for Furlong to add the derby passion, Azón Monzón for Hirst and Walle Egeli for Szmodics to restore right sided balance. |  |

I'd tend to agree but I think McAteer's experience might just win this one
I'd love to see Egeli play and totally rip it up but I still think he's got a good few weeks grace yet | |

Agree with the 10, and I think it's as simple as you start McAteer there because of the experience/atmosphere situation, but you're very much looking at an early change for Egeli unless McAteer has come out of his shell and is having a strong creative impact on the game.
As an aside, Kasey Mac's quietness so far might be because we don't have a song for him based on Blur's Tracy Jacks?
Kasey Mac,
Works down the right side,
Kasey Mac,
It's steady employment,
Kasey Mac,
Is about to explode,
Kasey Mac,
And batter the budgies.
(I've not my usual effort into that)

McAteer will probably start and go off around the 70 min mark with most people wondering what he has done or why he was picked. |  | | |

Change the pattern for the derby? What's got into you Zombers? Did you not feed last night? | |

Must be the slight dread I am feeling about the impending Storm Amy (moderate storm forecast later here) and the possibility of the electricity being out again on Sunday lunchtime and not seeing the game. | |

Personally I think Egeli's combativeness and willingness to have a go is well suited to the game. If we want to come flying out of the blocks, then he feels like the right choice |  | | |

McKenna wont change to a formation his never played because Norwich are in town, neither will Szmodicz play wide right! it will be as we were for however many games we have played under McKenna! | | | |

Can't wait for his MOTM performance now and this thread to be bumped back to the top at 2pm Sunday | | | |

Re. Walle Egeli - we didn't spend £17.5m for him to sit on the bench for games like this. He's a potential match-winner, so I expect him to start over McAteer for most home games when the onus is firmly on us. | | | |

A formation he has never played in public but it could be all they have been practising in training since the Bristol game...
I was thinking Szmodics not so much wide right as cutting in to support Hirst, I know that would leave a space but I see that as the vacuum that a couple of Nodge players could play around in thinking they were doing something whilst our left sided attack caused devastation.
Perhaps I need to watch that episode of 'The Simpsons' where Homer's brother gives Homer free reign on designing a car for launch at a major motpor show again. | |

I think in time, certainly. We'll have high hopes for him hence what we've invested, but he's very green and we'll need to be patient with him. If it wasn't Norwich I think the fact he started Pompey then didn't against Bristol City would imply he might be the one to start this weekend, but the fact its a high profile local derby might change that a bit on this occasion.
It'll be interesting to see, I sort of hope he does tbh as like you I think he's got more X factor than McAteer. | | | |

Never having had an injury like that when I played - and never having played at anything like that sort of level - but having been an explosive sprinter type of player, I often wonder what the comeback is like.
As a pro, do you always take a bit off, or do you say "fk it, that's my game, that's why I get picked, I'm going to do the same things I've always done and if it goes again I'll pack it in"? I suppose to some extent it depends upon your personal financial situation. | |

Yeah part and parcel of the industry I suppose they find themselves in as lucrative as it is
I think even when this happens to a younger player they tend to lose some speed or even confidence after such an injury which makes them not quite what they were beforehand
Wes was a machine up and down that right hand side and I'll have very find memories of his and cutting back ( along with Davis) for the likes of Chappers to bang one in
My worry with Wes is that we perhaps might not see him in a Town shirt again . I'd assume a loan in December to get him game time until the end of the season then ......
One of our best buys in recent times without doubt | |

We didn't spend £17.5m on him just for this season, either. He's a longer-term development project, with that requiring him to be used carefully to start off with. Walle Egeli is only 18*, after all, still very early in his senior football career.
* I know people cite teenage prodigies like Owen and Rooney performing in the Prem at 16 or 17, but they are very much the exception rather than the rule. |  |

If so, only because the back line ignore his presence for most of the game. | |

You make a very pertinent point here, often its the psychological side that's more challenging than the physical one, learning to trust his knee again after such a bad injury. He'll also be mindful he's got 6 months left on his contract and will have half an eye beyond that, whether that's here or elsewhere. He's definitely done everything right in terms of his commitment to coming back, properly grafted, educated himself, had the best advice and support, went out to LA for specialist rehab etc.
Its not easy to come back from an ACL / MCL rehab, especially at that level of elite sport. I really hope he can, for his sake as much as the team tbh as he's been such a good player and servant to Ipswich. | | | |

It won't be this, but I think extra experience and physicality in places could be good:
Palmer
Young O'Shea Kipré Davis
Matusiwa Cajuste
Egeli Szmodics Akpom
Hirst |  |

I did wonder about having Kipre in for Greaves, to sit on Sargent. | |
