rock bus 1,063 Posted December 30, 2017 I’m a fan of Farke still but that line up looks ridiculous.Can understand resting one or two but not all our best players.Oh, well fingers crossed it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,136 Posted December 30, 2017 I didn''t think that line up would go down too well[:D] I hope he isn''t taking Burton for granted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rock bus 1,063 Posted December 30, 2017 Trying to look on bright side(?!)....How many times has a recall for Hoolahan led to us all moaning? Just shows that, we are finally moving on with Pritchard and Maddison, presuming, we keep them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,167 Posted December 30, 2017 Don’t think I’ve ever been so surprised by a starting line up in my life, didn’t see that coming! A lot of fresh legs there, let’s hope there’s method within the madness... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STAN 30 Posted December 30, 2017 shocking 11! Vrancic and Watkins again? Hope they prove me wrong but if we don’t get the win today surely it’s time for Daniel to pack his bags? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 10,773 Posted December 30, 2017 Hey, I like the confidence from Farke. Might rally the squad players up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 6,145 Posted December 30, 2017 I have to admit feeling shocked and a little disappointed. The team last week was our strongest IMO but can only guess he is saving players because of the 3 games in a few days and therefore has opted for such a strong rotation. Farke is either a genius or he has made a big mistake. Fingers crossed we get the first goal today. We should win today really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 2,062 Posted December 30, 2017 Think a lot of that is tactical. Burton lost 8 on the spin at home. They''re going to sit back for first hour then they''re going to have a go you would imagine. No point putting pritch and Maddison in from start when it''s going to be very physical and congested on the middle. I would think we''ll probably see them and murph come on as subs 2nd half. I don''t like it, but I do understand it (I think). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted December 30, 2017 This is a huge surprise, and a massive gamble. I guess he''s hoping that the starting XI will match Burton for the first hour or so, and then we''ll be able to rely on quality from the bench to finish the job. If it backfires, though, he will be under massive, massive pressure from the first whistle on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,711 Posted December 30, 2017 Thinking about it, the ability is there, it all depends on the attitude. In particular, Nelson needs to be on it, Reed & Trybull need to hold the midfield together. If that happens I reckon we''ll be OK.OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 6,145 Posted December 30, 2017 Good point KIO. Clough will have been expecting Madders and Pritchard for sure. And Hoolihan is no slouch to have coming in. Maybe Tettey has been kept for Milwalll Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STAN 30 Posted December 30, 2017 Kick it off...Tactical? Very physical and congested in the middle? So we go with Wes, Watkins and golden balls Vrancic? No pace, no strength and no width. Tactical genius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,359 Posted December 30, 2017 There better be some kind of horrific sickness going around Colney to have kept Tettey, Lewis, Pritchard and Maddison from instantly making the starting XI this afternoon!On the plus side, hopefully we can finally see what Vrancic is all about down the middle...If we''re just giving players a game for the sake of it (Vrancic, Husband) why hasn''t Jerome got the nod?
