Branston Pickle 3,653 Posted August 12, 2022 Presumably we go with Sorensen at left back…surely there can’t be three players badly injured in the same position three games running?! I’m not 100% sure, but reckon something like: Krul; Aarons, Hanley, Omob, Sorensen; Nunez, McLean, Sara, Cantwell, Pukki, Rashica …but there’s plenty of options - this would leave Dowell, Hugill, Gibson, Onel, Sinani, Gibbs, Sargent out and most could argue for a start.

Presumably, yes. And presumably he'll do an OK job as he generally does when he is asked to play in an unfamiliar position. And presumably lots of posters on here will be saying how cr*p he is when he makes even a small mistake, with no gratitude at all for the fact that he is our Get Out of Jail card.

chicken 2,624 Posted August 12, 2022 I'll be surprised if Dowell or Sara start - though will be pleasantly surprised if they do. Just based on how leggy they looked 2nd half on Tuesday. Gibbs would be a good shout if Sorensen deputises at left back. Most likely switch - not that I think it is nailed on - would be Rashica for Sinani. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we need 2 defenders on the bench with Sorensen already covering fullback, it would be very risky to have only one. Not sure if Byram is fit enough but if so he'd replace Tomkinson in my bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m with you CP, Gibbs is a very rare gem who will only get better with game time! He deserves to start.

I'd have gone sara with gibbs if it was later into his come back but as he's had a lengthy injury and played midweek I thought I'd go with bringing Sara on later on in the game for sir pointsalot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if Byram is fit enough but if so he'd replace Tomkinson in my bench. I’m not so sure, Smith dismissed the idea of Tomkinson playing RB. If Max got injured I think Kenny could cover. Gibson can cover CB or LB at a pinch. In the unlikely event both CBs are injured Sorensen covers and McClean goes LB. The only time I see us needing two CBs is if both on the pitch get injured plus one of Max, Kenny or Sorensen. I know we’ve been unlucky but I’d take that gamble for more offensive options personally without any FBs to sit on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
