It feels like it lacks balance to me

But what do I know

He still hasn’t a clue what his starting 11 or best formation is.

 

[Julio]

Hopefully Ozturk has Marquis in his back pocket again

I'm surprised Dobson is dropped.

 

[SAFC_Jack]

Unsure on a right back playing left back but I think it’s a strong side and going to a back four is the right call.

 

[Kid Galahad]

Looks like 3 at the back doesn't it? Unless Conor Mc at LB and 09 at RB??

 

[Deleted member 35923]

4-2-3-1? Maguire behind McNulty with McGeady and Gooch on the flanks?

 

[Clueless]

This seems harsh on Dobson and McGeouch, but perhaps it is a case of ‘horses for courses’.

I’m also concerned that the entire back four are all naturally right-footed.

CM at RB, RB at LB, LB on bench. Big call for the gaffa.

Hope McLaughlin starts well today, got pelters down Ipswich off the crowd but he looked really uncomfortable out of his position on his left foot. Getting unfairly judged out of position & hope he gets to show what he can do at right back when they sign a left back.

 

[SAFC_Jack]

I'm surprised Dobson is dropped.

Would have him in alongside Power but a good option off the bench.

 

[BIG BAZ]

I'm gannin 1-1

Complain at everything

Hume needed taking out imo - not ready.

 

[PhilY]

Ha’way the lads!

Agree but McLaughlin massively struggled at left back at Ipswich. Doesn’t have a left foot so feel sorry for him as if he looks shite again the crowd will get on him quickly imo. He looked like Don Love did against Boro in the prem.

To be fair mate you are right and probably more than Ross

 

[The Cookie Monster]

Maybe a bit harsh dropping Dobson, dont think he's done much wrong.

 

[Lord Alfred]

But what do I know

Probably more than the man who picked it.
