I actually got very strong Herminator vibes last night. CB converted to LB and a few rangey marauding runs.
Really enjoyed that.
Suspect Leif comes back in given he has more of a goal threat but nice to know we have Greaves as an option there. |  | | |

Absolutely immense last night.
Very difficult to choose a man of the match but Greaves would have been right up there.
He's actually a very good footballer technically, and certainly a more than capable stand-in left back.
I said after the game I don’t believe Davis would have done any better last night and that’s no dig at Leif, who is a terrific player.
But Greaves gave us a physical advantage over their right side and, defensively, was superb.
If Davis is still struggling with illness, I’d keep Greaves there against Oxford. | | | |

He is seriously too good ( like Clarke) not to be playing every week. | | | |

I think he will keep his place against Oxford. If Leif has this flu bug it is quite debilitating, and could do with a whole week of rest. Also Furlong may need a rest. He had a very physical battle last night. | | | |

It was a fantastic performance by Greaves last night and that’s a very good point regarding last nights performance having echoes of Hermann! |  | | |

Dropping Davis seems unthinkable but defensively that is probably the most solid unit there is. Maybe certain games?
I’ve actually liked Greaves everytime he’s been out there. |  |

It's all part of a grand plan...
Leif has been inverting a lot when playing - almost as if he is being groomed to play centre mid
Greaves has proved that he can play effectively at LB (albeit without all this inverting nonsense)
So when Azor gets his next booking, LD comes into midfield
What could possibly go wrong? | | | |

Not sure if that’s tongue in cheek but I do think the fact we have three of our most talent players on the same wing is a bit of an issue sometimes. | |

It was a bit - and I dont even play football manager...
But a wise man once said about someone else playing out of position, it may not be his best position, but he may well be the best player we have for that position (while Azor takes some time off)
Of course the best solution is to get adequate backup for Azor, but that has proved to be a non-trivial challenge | | | |

Greaves reminded me of a prime Tyrone Mings at lb during the Mick days, his rangy athletic figure gave them something different to think about. | | | |

Defiantly with thinking about against a low block imo too
Furlong or egeli with a floated cross to the back post in comes greaves.... |  |

The point was emphatically proved that Greaves is way better than Woofenden. Wasn't it great that Clarke played instead of Philogene and ended up MOTM whilst Egeli came off and Burns came on and scored.
Many times KM has been criticised about line ups and substitutions and maybe it was true that Philogene had a slight knock, but nobody could argue that it didn't turn out perfectly.
It went down really well for me along with a few pints of Guinness. | | | |

Never mind the floated cross, he twice put his head in harm's way trying to score a flying header. It was an immense performance and he really gives KM another option down that side. |  |

How about converting Leif into the new Luongo and keeping Greaves on the left?
I seem to recall McKenna playing Leif there pre season the year we went up. |  |

When we need a plan B against a team sitting deep and hard to play through, I'd be very ttempted to put Greaves up front, certainly for that last 20 mins, good touch, very good in the air, doesn't look quick but you'd be surprised...we have little options right now, get crosses into him, just like Fulham did to us at CC last season, thry did exactly this.. |  | | |

He was very good. He missed a couple of opportunities to whip in an early cross (one of which early on in the first half was an excellent position for us with 3 waiting in the box) but aside from that it was a superbly assured performance at both ends of the pitch. I’m not sure I’ve seen Leif play better this season. |  |
