Massive, massive call from Wagner. Heres hoping it works out.

We need Sargent to play through the middle, so assuming he does then I agree with this call 

[BroadstairsR 2,176]

Nah!

[rock bus 854]

Crazy!

 I can understand resting Pukki and giving Sargent chance down the middle..

but no way would I be replacing him with Idah!

Idah 😂 Good God, if we want to try and join a late season battle for relegation then that'll be a way to do it.

Would start one but sites having Issues with posting images and I cant bothered to type all the players names out in the starting 11 😉

Yeah , has pukki got a niggle ? Is he being rested ? , Will idah prove to be worthy of his new long contract ? ,Personally I'd have stuck with pukki he's different class to idah , but it will be interesting.!

Dont want to sound like a broken record with how many times I have said it but I have been thinking that if we don't go up this season Pukki will be sold and be off.

This call tonight along with Idahs big new contract seems be implying what I'm thinking. The club clearly view Idah as the future.

[lake district canary 4,533]

No harm in resting Pukki - and Idah will reward the manager with a good performance tonight. Pukki can do damage if he comes on later in the match. 

[hogesar 9,677]

Super sub winning brace maybe?

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

Have to wait and see but Dimi starting is a shock. If Pukki is out than surely Sarge would get the nod. Bit puzzled to be honest.

If we don't go up this season Pukki will not be sold, because he is out of contract and will leave for free.

Honestly think it's overdue that we drop TP to the bench.

Crazy decision 

[lake district canary 4,533]

My money is on Sargent and Idah to run Hull ragged at the back. It's classic Wagner - put two fast players up front and instruct them to run at defenders. With Hernandez doing that too, we should have a bit about us tonight.

'Teemu, sign your contract. No? Ok , we move on'. 

[Barham Blitz 653]

I guess we'll never know if Idah can cut it at this level without starting him occasionally.  But unless this is a formation change I only slightly happier seeing Sarge as a 10 than I am as a winger.  It still leaves us massively open through central midfield.

If we are dropping Pukki I would have preferred to see Gibbs start in the McLean role and shuffled Kenny, Sara and Sarge one space further forward personally.

Cue Idah hat-trick...

Because this season is done, we aren't going up (small mercies)  he isn't going to be here past the summer, so it's about time we learned to live without TP leading the line. Time to focus on the future. 

 

That's why my man.

That doesn't look dangerous at all.

Time will tell but I can't agree, although I think we either have to play Sargent as centre forward or not play him at all because he seems unsuited to both playing on the wing or as a playmaker behind the striker. Probably Wagner is still experimenting and searching for his best formation. Let's see how it goes. 

[Indy 3,301]

To be fair, Pukki hasn’t committed to his new contract offered and Idah has, we have a slim chance of promotion through the play offs, so maybe Wagner is starting to look at his preferred options longer term.

Or Pukki might just have a niggle or need a rest.

[Yellow Fever 3,793]

All I'm going to say is about time too. Over to you Sarge and Idah.

[Pyro Pete 1,897]

Also, Pukki hasn't scored at Carrow Road for months.
