Well b back 3,605 Posted October 18, 2022 Surprised Hayden not starting, but I guess if we can get over the line tonight, we will need 90 minutes of him on Saturday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted October 18, 2022 Hayden's clearly being gradually put back in. Suspect Giannoulis and Hayden will be two of the subs coming on tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,633 Posted October 18, 2022 Would like to see Nunez and Sara, with Hayden when fit. But wonder is Smith sees it as one or the other, but not both? As much as I love Pukki, I think Sargent needed to start up top. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,616 Posted October 18, 2022 So is this another attempt at 4-3-1-2 with Ramsey or Dowell deeper, or back to 4-2-3-1? Nobody has a clue, which can't be good for continuity or rhythm. I can understand chopping and changing players if everyone knows their roles, but it doesn't seem like anyone does at the moment.

Bovril 264 Posted October 18, 2022 Hayden on bench makes sense, remember he's had no pre-season at all and shoved straight into one of the most demanding fixtures at half-time. He'll clearly be a starter once he regains his match fitness. Disappointed not to see Sargent up top by himself with either Pukki behind him or benched. Dowell has got a massive role to play tonight, he played one or two great balls including for Sargents goal. Needs to be the playmaker tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But to have to play second fiddle when you are double the leading scorer smacks of Deano having no bottle and dare I say, no idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Careful, you'll be accused of not liking Teemu like i was the other day. Couldn't agree more though, I would have either played teemu behind sarge, or benched him to bring on after 60minutes if we're in need of someone who needs 5 chances to put one away these days. 😋😒 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted October 18, 2022 I’m worried about that midfield if I’m honest. It’s decent on the ball but we’ve taken a defensively lightweight midfield against Watford and made it even more lightweight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,633 Posted October 18, 2022 Just now, GodlyOtsemobor said: Big game needed from Gibbs to hold position and provide protection. Sara likely to roam.. Sadly, that midfield just feels like it has zero cohesion, experience or authority. As for Dowell and Sargent out wide.. I’m just confused. You need pacy direct players.. Hernandez should fill one of those roles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 3,086 Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Was just about to start one... Anyway... Vids: Articles: Pinkun have the presser here. Canaries.co.uk match preview can be found here. Luton Town's own match preview can be found here. Just a few updates at time of typing. Dowell injured in warm up, Cantwell or Sinani being considered to replace him, Tomkinson stepping up to the bench.
