Leicester is a really hard squad pick 22:08 - Dec 10 with 1262 viewsNutkins_Return

We were fantastically organized tonight and some absolute shifts out in.

You could see we had to play a slightly different way tonight. Some serious fatigue.

Clarke, Cajuste and Hirst have to come in really. It's just how many others.

There are just so many games coming thick and fast. I think you almost have to run the changes and try and get something.

Hirst, Clarke, McAteer, Cajuste all in, I would've thought. Wouldn't surprise me to see Akpom or SS in, either.

5 changes for me. The entire front line.

Hirst for Azon. No brainer.

Clarke for Jaden. Now way KM plays Jaden for the entire game when he could have put Clarke on the right and McAteer on the left.

Szmods for Nunez, Will need his battling qualities in a tough away game.

McAteer for Sindre. McAteer against his old club and Sindre is a young player who need to be managed and was fairly anonymous tonight.

Cajuste for Taylor. Cajuste has been very effective when he came on in the last two games. Taylor may have a sickness bug.

Wouldn't change any of the back 4 or the keeper.

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Same for Leicester. BBC saying tonight they looked completely shattered in the second half.

I don't think we will do it, nice as it would be

7 games in 22 days is mad really, Clarke and McAteer are surely coming in and probably Hirst as well

Agreed with Radio Suffolk tonight where they were saying its easy to make 5 changes after Saturday if you were playing Sheff Wed, less so when playing Stoke.

As was said, think the 2 games in 5 days resulted in a more controlled performance, almost subdued but actually a very professional performance. Playing out from the back tonight was pretty flawless (heart in mouth moments really dropping off recently, but of course the errors will be remembered strong).

So, back on topic, expect the 5 changes on Saturday as most will, and they will need the travelling support to deliver as well - after Leicester throwing away a 2 goal lead a solid start by Town and their fans will turn on them. Hopefully our recently defensive solidity will continue

Completely unrealistic. The fatigue was there for all to see.

If there is a silver lining apparently Leicester were dead on their feet yesterday and so may need to do the same.

You are really bringing injuries into the picture to just keep slogging them

Please stick with this team, you could at last see some understanding and 'gelling' with the players tonight. Make changes only when necessary. Whoever drops from that team, makes us weaker.

I’d love to see a settled team, but I don’t think it’s realistic. Coventry and Stoke were two tough, intense games. Keep the defence the same and swap some of the players further up the pitch. They’ll be raring to go and this is where the squad we have is an advantage.

Hopefully this message will start to get through over the Christmas period.

Some of the kiddies who open all the doors on their advent calendar on the 1st for a nice big munch of choccies all in one go, will start to twig that the rest of us little rascals are now eating chocolate every day.

Matisuwa obviously the first name on the team sheet.

Nunez is also quickly becoming undroppable. 5 assists now - an area we’ve struggled. He just has that eye for a pass that no one else in the squad does. Those long balls are brilliant too.

Well Matusiwa will be getting a 2 match break very soon anyway unless he can do a Morsy and avoid a card for multiple games

I would keep the same back 4 and Taylor & Matusiwa. A fresh Hirst obviously comes in for Azon, but changes across the 3 behind look inevitable and necessary.

I’d be tempted to change them all, with Clarke, Szmodics & McAteer coming in from the start.

That’s how I see it tbh, although if Taylor is fit enough I’d start him. They do have a weeks gap until the Wednesday game so if the legs are willing ideally I’d start as close to last nights team as possible (bar Azon), but I’m not sure that’s realistic.

We've got a full week before Sheffield Wed (which lets be honest, should be a gimme) so I would be tempted to try and roll with the same team as far as possible. Hirst in for Azon and maybe Clarke for Philogene. Nunez is looking bang in form and is making us tick. Egeli seems to durable and able to go again.

I'd like to see McAteer come off the bench for Sindre, and
Greaves to start (in place of Kipre or Leif). Hirst, Clarke and possibly SS too.

Wednesday have improved a lot and been competitive for the past 8 weeks. No complacency required

Agree, bring Hirst back and make any changes where required if players have knocks or a suspension, but this is a big 3 game week and we need to go strong for each game.

We have a blank midweek after this, so he could give the players a few days off if he wanted to. Sheffield Wednesday only have pride to play for, and are playing with that pride, but a changed team should have enough to beat them on December 20 and then he has the strongest team back and refreshed for the Christmas run.
