| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 15:29 - Jan 22 with 2138 views | OldFart71 | Almost certainly Szmodics. Egeli definitely one for the future, back as to be expected with a 19 year old hasn't the experience or nous of Szmodics who is a grafter and whilst not really a number 10 as proven he gives more stability than Egeli. |  | |  |
| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 15:29 - Jan 22 with 2130 views | JammyDodgerrr | Probably going to be quite a disjointed forward line for some of the game on Saturday. Safe to assume Burns can't start two games so close together, but it's quite difficult to know how we'll go. Can start with Egeli in the 10, and McAteer on the right, or SS in the middle with Egeli wide. I think the former makes sense, with Szmodics and Burns to come on later on, but it wouldn't surprise me if we see Szmodics from the start and i think that would be my preference.

I will be amazed if it’s anything other than this… |  |

| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 15:42 - Jan 22 with 2006 views | ElderGrizzly | Sindre I'd hope, if we are being bold. We need creativity there, not just running. Szmodics has done nothing to indicate he can play the 10 in our system so far. [Post edited 22 Jan 15:43]

| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 15:57 - Jan 22 with 1871 views | Herbivore | Can't see us giving Sindre a first start as a 10 in a game like this, too much of a gamble. Szmodics will start I imagine and it's not impossible we see Sindre coming off the bench to replace him later in the game against tired legs, he could be really effective in that scenario. But he's only played a matter of minutes there for us so far so expecting him to start in that role is too much. I'm not sold on Szmodics but his pressing from the front and running in behind will be useful in this sort of game. |  |

| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 16:03 - Jan 22 with 1811 views | SheffordBlue | Taylor in the 10 is also an option depending on who the mystery player being assessed is. He's done that in games later on a few times and away from home it might work . That does leave us a bit light in CM bench options but Young/Barbrook can play there. Full week off after this one so getting players to do 90 minutes maybe less of an issue this week. |  |

Burns won't play two games in three days from the start. My guess is McAteer to start. |  |

Burns came of early on Tuesday with Saturday in mind I'm sure. Walton Furlong O'Shea Kipre Davis Matusiwa Taylor Burns Sammy Clarke Azon |  |

| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 16:12 - Jan 22 with 1727 views | baxterbasics | I'd be happy to see Azon up top again. Egeli on the right and Smodz central. |  |

In all fairness that's a certain reminder to me . We actually changed Wes around 60 mins which for us is very early and I did think if that were for Saturday in mind or again , just managing him |  |

I think he could manage a Tuesday and Sat game. Probably 120 mins in total. [Post edited 22 Jan 16:22]

| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 16:28 - Jan 22 with 1603 views | tractordownsouth | I don't normally like Szmodics playing in the ten but think this game will suit him with Soumare and Tanganga suspended and Sheff United likely fielding a very slow backline. Needs to be SWE on the wing though to play passes in behind, rather than having Burns or McAteer staying high and wide with little service. |  |

Not a goal scorer and not a particularly creative passer - I would suggest he has almost none of the qualities we need in that role. |  | |  |

| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 17:10 - Jan 22 with 1347 views | Hermann_eats_puffin | In line with what some others have said above for me in a tricky away game against a decent opponent with a wily manager in Wilder I'd go for more experience with Szmodics starting. Plus I might well be proved wrong but I'd be surprised if Burns starts another game so soon after Tuesday given it's early days in his comeback and perhaps on the day I'll be proved wrong but for me at this time I'd suggest as starting:- J Clarke left wing, Szmodics as the 10 and McAteer staring on the RW. And it's unusual for us to give the attacking players 90 minutes so as subs I'd bring on Burns for McAteer and Egeli for Szmodics. However depending on how the game actually goes on Saturday we'll see what will work in the game regarding substitutes. Plus I'm terrible at actually predicting what McKenna will do so who knows. |  | |  |

That's not really right. He's a proper ball carrier par excellence and would draw defenders like nobody's business in a more advanced role. He could create havoc there. Not sure he could do the press though, when we're out of possession, and as we're short of bodies in CM I don't think it will/should happen. But he's definitely a different and potentially very effective option there. |  |

Agree to disagree. Yes, he is a ball carrier but i'm not sure he would get the ball in the positions to make the best use of that higher up the pitch (except the odd counter attack). It's very different using your frame to power through two or three players in transition when the whole pitch is in front of you, compared to getting the ball in tight spaces in between the lines often with your back to goal. I also question whether he would make the most of any space he might open up with his ability to turn away from the opposition - again, there's plenty of evidence he isn't a goal scorer and very little evidence of creative passing from him. He actually showed a bit of a lack of composure by taking a chance off Jack Clarkes foot in the first half against Bristol. |  | |  |

Maybe, but if he's picking up loose balls from Hirst/Azon's interference with the centre back, then turning the other CB like he did that CM before Clarke's first goal on Tuesday... |  |

| Sammie or Sindre for no10 on Sat? on 17:58 - Jan 22 with 1212 views | southnorfolkblue | Mcateer SS Clarke Leave Clarke on the left imho. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it |  |

| He only played 63mins and was looking fit, but McAteer likely (n/t) on 18:04 - Jan 22 with 1189 views | unstableblue |
