roonst83 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 We need a win some time soon after the missed opportunity against the Blades. I think we’re better set up away from home but a lot of that depends on if Davis plays well. He’s been quite poor for a while and hasn’t had the support of Snoddy or Adomah of late so it’s nulified his role. Big problem of late for us has been the fact our defence has been so leaky. Our previous success in games away to the likes of Preston, Burton and Barnsley was down to how tight we were at the back. We look very nervous at the moment and are missing Terry massively. We need to start picking up wins soon to try keep ourselves in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Going to lose to an inferior squad but who know how to pass and move their way around a pitch. A humiliating 2-0 away loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermon Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Tired of seeing the same old team, give some youngsters a go, some of our first teamers are getting a first team place regardless of how they play, need freshening up, they need to know they aren't guaranteed a first team spot.

Johnnyp Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Onomah for whelan for me. Whelan has played nearly every minute recently and is the last thing you need against a young energetic brentford midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) I have a feeling we are going to see Hutton as CB in back 4 SJ Elmo Hutton Chester Taylor Whelan Jedi Snod Hourihane Adomah Davis or SJ Hutton Chester Taylor Whelan Jedi Snod Grealish Hourihane Adomah Davis If Bruce hands in either of those team sheets the Dr should sack him on the spot Edited December 25, 2017 by Grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 We need to be aware of the pace of Lasse Vibe. He will run past Jedinak with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Will spend all day worrying about this game on TV... Then the full 90 minutes with hope through gritted teeth. No expectations from this game, other than disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Dreading this we are going to get turned over. If jedinak is in defence be a comfortable brentford win. De laet at cb for me. Has pace to handle vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got burnt badly Saturday with that. Not ideal but it's elphick or sulliman for me. Edited December 26, 2017 by Johnnyp mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Today we must win this, season over if not for me. Also, I cannot manage another "Dean smith is the man we are looking for" day on here. He would have a nervous breakdown managing Villa. So please lets go out toay and give Dean Smith and his team a footballing lesson for once....................Can't see it, but I will live in hope, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I think/hope we will see 3 or 4 changes. I can't see how Jedinak can keep his place at CB so expect Elphick to start or a rabbit out of the hat and Terry comes back. I'd go with a narrow midfield four of Whelan or Jedinak sitting, Hourihane and Onomah in front of them and Grealish just behind a front two of Davis and Hogan.I know that is harsh on Adomah but I'd give him a breather and don't see how he can fit into a 4-4-2 without us sacrificing too much in the centre of midfield and risking getting over run.
