the_mighty_bosh Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Mine would be: Bouzy Brown Byrne Mvoto Grounds Simpson Wes Baxter M'Changama Smith Taylor But there really should be places up for grabs, at right back I'm expecting Wabara to play but I think Brown has done enough to try and prove himself ahead of Liverpool. The biggest question is any of the midfield positions. I think Croft hasn't done enough to earn a place and while others may disagree I think Simpson played well enough on Saturday and against Forest to earn a place in the XI. Sutherland is in contention but I'm not sold on him being ready to start games yet. I've shoe-horned M'Changama in on the left because of how he played on Saturday, I'd probably rather have him in centre-mid alongside Baxter and Wes should wait his turn but not convinced about anyone else on the left side. The most obvious move for Dickov to make is to play an orthodox front two of Smith and Taylor with Baxter pulling the strings in midfield. Failing to do this and playing Smith up on his own again will go further to proving his critics right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Strange one this, if he picks kids in place of some of the regulars and they produce a resounding win, would he discard them against Liverpool ? If the seniors fail abysmally does he play kids against Liverpool ? Edited January 22, 2013 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinevillawill Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Simpson should be nowhere near the starting line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA11K Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Bouzanis Wabara Byrne M'Voto Brown Sutherland Wesolowski M'Changama Grounds Baxter Taylor M'Changama, I feel, has to play and he's much more efficient in centre mid than on the left wing (although he's still a good player there). Dickov won't change his 4-4-1-1 but Taylor HAS to start because he is a mobile striker who suits our style of play far more than Smith. If he insists on starting Smith, Taylor has to start alongside him, drop Baxter to CM and M'Changama to the bench/LW (and put Grounds LB, Brown bench) - that would also work as the two have a good potential partnership. But PLEASE have at least one of the CMs pushing forward to supplement the attack, and the tactics made to suit the striker(s) we have on the pitch.

NewBlue Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Mine would be: Bouzy Brown Byrne Mvoto Grounds Simpson Wes Baxter M'Changama Smith Taylor Half of the midfield are out of position there.

CP1991 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Boozy wabara tarky mvoto grounds sutherland wes changy mellor Baxter smith Give smith a go with two wide men who are constantly aiming to cross the ball. sutherland should be able to beat a man for pace and hit an area with the cross... mellor doesn't need to beat a man with his left foot. With mellor on the left gives grounds chance to bomb on and try to get changy as close to Baxter as possible... wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceStationLatic Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 We can't keep playing four in midfield, sitting deep in the centre, when we have no pace. We have to play through our main assets at the no - Baxter and Smith. It has to be 4-3-3 for me, Baxter behind Smith and Taylor. If we put Baxter in centre-mid and the wide players have stormers, fair play. But if they don't, the opposition will just bully Baxter out the game and we'll be screwed. For me, he has to go in the 'hole' where he can drift, avoid being man-marked, and still have the cover behind him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe you'd drop Smith for that lazy git Simpson.......apart from Forest and Sheff. U., he has done nothing this season........oh, sorry, got that wrong......he's wandered about trying to wind the opposition up and committing niggly fouls. If he starts tonight, he'll have a blinder just to play himself into Sunday's starting 11 and then back to tossing around on the pitch.
