The saint 3 Posted March 25, 2021 Krul Mumba Sorensen Zimmernann Quintilla Tettey Rupp Buendia Vrancic Dowell Hugill Dont risk anyone returning from internationals except Krul , keep them all on the bench if game not going our way. Still looks a decent enough team to me , maybe not much playing time for a few but i would be reasonably confident of getting something with that team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 7,940 Posted March 25, 2021 Enough to get a draw at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,169 Posted March 25, 2021 Possibly- but equally why the hell should we be forced to play a weakened side almost entirely because the efl is run by a bunch of ***? I’m sure it isn’t just us affected, the point could be made by several clubs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newtopia 583 Posted March 25, 2021 I think that would be sensible team. Not sure how fit Rupp is, may need to use Marco in CAM and slide Mario back or use McLean, he only played 2 mins tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,271 Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) No, with that back 4 we would be asking for trouble. They aren't used to playing together, Quintilla and Mumba haven't played any first team football in ages and are weak defensively and to top it off Sorensen isn't a natural CB. We could get away with those changes ahead of that but the back 4 has to be Aarons Zimmermann Hanley Sorensen and even those two changes make me very nervous considering how settled we've been Edited March 25, 2021 by Christoph Stiepermann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d imagine there’s a gentleman’s agreement in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,345 Posted March 26, 2021 I do appreciate the apparent unfairness of the timing, but we have known about this for some months and we have built a squad for this reason. We will put out a decent team whatever happens and they will play the way we always play. Whether that's enough to beat a "manager bounce" Preston is debatable but we have enough points in the bank to get through without too much drama. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 401 Posted March 26, 2021 I think its likely that Hanley and Mclean will play, its not going to be a massive trip for them to get down from Scotland for them. McClean hasn't played yet and I could see a bullish Hanley wanting to be involved no matter what now that Gibson is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
