I would go for (assuming injuries are not going to improve): Gollini Chester Baker Cissokho Jedinak Bacuna Tshibola McCormack Grealish Kodija When we have the ball Bacuna and Grealish can push forward, as can McCormack to support Codger, when we haven't got it Bacuna and Grealish fall back and act like two wing backs/defensive mids to support the back three. I don't like not playing Ayew, but not sure how else to fit a decent(ish) midfield in. This could be an awful formation... I don't even know what to suggest, we're crap. Yeah I think considering our poor form, playing away with only 10 men isn't such a great idea! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubliner Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Really difficult fixture this one. Reading are tough to beat on their own patch and a few weeks back I would have said a draw would be a good result. Given our predicament however, we need all 3 points (which is highly unlikely to happen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Gollini Bacuna Chester Baker Amavi Tshibola Jedinak Lyden McCormack Ayew Kodjia subs Bunn/Steer Hutton/Richards(?) Cissokho Westwood/Gardner (?) Adomah Grealish Gestede 1- (?) donates - do we have an alternative? 2- hopefully we wont need to use a sub for a RB LB CB or CM injury 3- Westwood/Gardner for Jedi if he fades 4- Grealish if one of Ayew/McCormack/Kodjia isnt working 5- Gestede for whoever tires from Ayew or McCormack (Kodjia drops back to AM if 4- isnt done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Gollini Bacuna Chester Baker Amavi Jedinak Westwood Tishbola Adomah Kodija Ayew Let Tish have licence to bomb on Jedinak stays put and him and Westwood cover the FB's when they push on. We aren't strong enough to aim to keep it tight so just attack and press and if we get chance to counter attack don't be afraid to break in numbers. Barnsley were a massive threat doing this and we should be with the pace we gave in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
