TheGunnShow 5,808 Posted October 17, 2020 Can mix it up a bit more, and I'd like to see some early crosses considering both Hugill and Idah can hold it up or indeed attack it in the air. @Jerrykerry said he hopes we don't resort to hoof-ball, and whilst I fundamentally agree, I'd always say that there's room for a good old honk down the field now and again to relieve pressure on own defences and also to unsettle opposition defences with the speed of the transition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,351 Posted October 17, 2020 No excuses for being 'bullied' today, with that front four. Hopefully a team that can match Rotherham's physicality but with enough football playing ability to make a difference. Speaking objectively, if I was Paul Warne I would be telling my forwards to leave a foot in on our defenders early doors and see what falls off.

Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted October 17, 2020 Not a lot of defensive cover on the bench. Surprised Mumba not included bearing in mind he didn't feature for the U23s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Glad Hugill is in as a focal point....but wouldve liked to have seen Pukki in just behind. As we saw for Finland this past week, even if he isnt scoring ,his workrate slighly deeper or out wide is still tireless and can still create for others Edited October 17, 2020 by GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If needed his efforts might be useful at thge last twenty against a tiring defence. I am also keen to see Hugill given a start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking the same, nice physical look to the 11. No harm in giving Pukki a breather & a tidy option off the bench. If Skipp & Rupp can control the central areas & Emi is in the mood, we should have enough (on paper) to get something today and get out of this funk. A worrying lack of defensive cover, while unsurprising, is a concern for me. We'll be sweating on injuries to the back 4 for the next couple of months. I guess Tettey, Rupp & Stieps are the cover today. OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
