lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 27, 2021 Tough to say whether Gibson will replace Zimmermann, but it will be interesting to see who replaces Cantwell...for me it could be Idah. Krul Aarons Hanley Gibson Giannoulis Skipp McLean Buendia Vrancic Idah Pukki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going b***s out to get 3 points at Wycombe is the only thing we ought to be worrying about, with our strongest possible team Totally agree. 2 massive games coming, nobody gets a rest. 6 points would be magnificent, 4 points would do the job Onel would be a loss in addition to Cantwell. Dowell simply has to step up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pukki Blinders 96 Posted February 27, 2021 We definitely shouldn't be underestimating Wycombe, and to be fair I'm sure Daniel Farke won't be. Yes, we should be winning this game but we all know how crazy this league is, and it was only a few days ago they beat 5th placed Reading. They also ran us close earlier in the season. They're far from the whipping boys of the division and we'll have to work hard to beat them I don't doubt that. Big opportunity for someone to impress with Cantwell out. If he was fit then it'd be a no-brainer to bring Onel in, but with him probably not fit enough either then it's a tricky call. The most like for like change for Todd is probably Dowell, but I don't know why I'm just not convinced by him coming in on the left-hand side, so I'd probably lean towards Idah or Placheta. I'll go with: Krul Aarons Hanley Gibson Dimi Skipp McLean Buendia Vrancic Idah Pukki Subs: Barden, Zimbo, Xavi, Tettey, Sorenson, Rupp, Dowell, Placheta, Hugill Obviously that's assuming Gibson is fit enough to start. If he's not quite 100% then I wouldn't risk him with Brentford on the horizon, but fingers crossed he will be. If Hernandez is fit enough then it'd be good to have him on the bench.

canarycop 206 Posted February 27, 2021 I will say this again. Everyone is putting vrancic in. If he ain't strong enough against Brum he certainly won't be against a more physical Wycombe. He hasn't got Todd's energy or skill. Slow and can't tackle. Rupp alongside Skipp. Put Kenny in no 10 and Dowell on left Krul Aaron's Hanley Gibson giannoulis Skipp Rupp Buendia McLean Dowell Pukki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny has hardly played there and when he has, like Swansea away this season and a few games last season, he hasn’t really done anything of note and doesn’t seem to improve us as a team. With him playing so well and forming a great partnership with Skipp I don’t really see the logic in moving up the pitch. Fact is, we’ve been a much better team this season with Vrancic in it, and have won the last 4 games with him starting. He may not be the most impactful number 10 in terms of goals and assists but it’s no coincidence Farke has stuck with all this time. Maybe if Hernandez or Stiepermann hadn’t got injured, or if Dowell/Placheta had shown more when they’ve been given their chance it would be different, but at this moment I think Mario is the best option we have in that role. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DF already has to make at least one change (for Cantwell and possibly Gibson in for Zimbo), so he'll be reluctant to make another. With that in mind, I think Gibson will play if he's fit and it's a choice between Placheta, Dowell and Idah to replace Todd. Placheta is the obvious choice to play on the left, however Dowell would be more of a like-for-like replacement. Idah really needs game time at this stage of his career, so I am actually rooting for him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ward 3 372 Posted February 28, 2021 On 26/02/2021 at 19:58, NWC said: I would rest Skipp, Pukki and Beundia for this match. Time to rid the Beundia hoodoo with a few goals and a secure win. Krul Aarons Hanley Zimbo Gianoulis Kenny Sorrenson Rupp Dowell Plachetta Hugil That team is easily good enough to beat Wycombe. Would really like to see Sorrenson start at the heart of the midfield as that is his preferred position. I'm sure everyone at ncfc would rather get the job done sooner and give key members of the squad a longer rest period at the end of the season than a Sunday game against Wycombe when we have Brentford mid week. Momentum is key at this moment in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure Soto was expected to play on Friday for u23s but didn't and wasn't on the bench, maybe he's with the squad today. be decent if he is. Good young talent.
