Team for PNE

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,830]

Will he make changes? Is the tombola in action? Or is it rock paper scissors? 

Round and round he goes where he stops nobody knows!! 

Gunn, Duffy, McLean + 8 others 🤣

[Robert N. LiM 6,277]

Reckon Sara will get a game.

[ec-p 117]

Idah’s got to start you would think but who knows?

[cambridgeshire canary 7,797]

Why change a winning team? Well, ok maybe we were poor..

[Capt. Pants 5,008]

You would have thought we'd be unchanged, subject to injuries (Giannoulis), but there's also the possibility Knapper could be feeding some more instructions and clarity to Wagner's thought process! It wasn't a great performance against Bristol City - we need to get out of our own half more, especially at home.

I suspect the tombola may be out again. Never a dull moment....

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035]

Isnt Hanley supposed to be back this week?

Idah and Hernandez are impact subs...and no more

[Ulfotto 798]

I would try Nunez on the right tucked in slightly sort of a rcm. Stacey bombing pass him. Nunez has too much talent not be a starter in this team.

Try to turn Nunez into a sort of Buendia-Stiepermann hybrid?

[By Hook or Ian crook 943]

McClean at CB, Sara in the goals and Gunny up top for the long ball 😂😂

Sort of keep Rowe wide on the left. Then Sara, McLean and Nunez as a midfield three with Nunez the farthest right but not playing as a winger. Stacey bombs past him but then Nunez is there in the inside right channel to whip balls in.

Glenn Roeder did something similar when he first arrived which worked well if I am remembering right he left Hucks on the left then basically played 3 centre midfield players knowing the width would come from Huckerby. If Huckeby was caught up field we were just a bit more solid. 

I dunno just feel we need to get him in the team and it’s something we haven’t tried yet is playing him out wide yet.

Batth will most likely be on the bench!

Batth will start over Warner with any hope. Sainz needs to start. Drop onel.

[norfolkngood 1,174]

idah Has to start Barnes has not looked great since comeback and Idah score last Game 

problem with Idah you think come on kick on now you are starting and then you wish you had started Barnes

In the sense of unity, anyone disgree with this one?

 

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,830]

Not what I'd do but what I think DW will do.... 

                             Gunn

Fisher.       Duffy.          McLean.      Placheta 

                  Sara.         Nunez 

Rowe.                Barnes            Onel.     

                           Gibbs

[The Real Buh 3,765]

Surely Idahs got to start and he’s going to score a brace, he’s full of confidence

right?

he should start and he’ll do great, yeah?

[hogesar 10,762]

We control possession better generally with Nunez in the team. But I don't know enough about Preston to judge how important that is to be fair.

[splutcho 196]

I reckon Gibbs or Nunez drops out, McLean moves forward out of defence and Batth starts, other than that same XI. Prediction, not endorsement.

Sara and nunez gives us no protection whatsoever. And surely Idah has to start up top ahead of Gibbs

That's about the best I could come up with. I'd be tempted to put Rowe up front and Fassnacht on the right but Wagner's not ever going to do that (nor is Sara playing at 10, even though it seems like an obvious thing to try). 

What I found though was we don't have a decent defensive midfielder in the squad. I want to keep McLean at centre back and pair Nunez with an enforcer type in the middle, but that's not possible.

Yep the latter is still a glaring omission. So much so I’ve even mulled whether Ben Gibson could do a job there for now. He’s a decent passer of the ball and can clearly tackle, but he lacks pace and poise nowadays and that could be less consequential if he sat as a CDM.

Imagine if simply swapping Gibson and McLean solved our midfield problems...

Absolutely but that's why I said not what I would do but what I think DW will do 😉

[Ken Hairy 4,272]

A lot of people saying start Idah, the issue there is he's always beyond hopeless when he starts but morphs into Harry Kane off the bench.
