Branston Pickle 3,694 Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Interesting selections - presumably to give players a rest/bringing other back gently?!

By Hook or Ian crook 917 Posted December 29, 2023 An odd line up. I assume Duffy injured and Rowe rested? Odd one dropping Rowe with Sainz also missing though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â As ever, I shall wait and see what transpired before judging. Resting is probably the answer. I mean it has been a hectic scedule.. what was it three matches this week? Do hope this means we see Sargent starting against Rovers next week Edited December 29, 2023 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why move McLean up leave Nunez on bench and bring Gibson in, what is Wagner doing ? Idah on bench good idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nunez starting to find form after finally given a run of games.. now dropped because Wagner is desperate to play Gibson and McLean… Where’s Duffy?

Samwam27 532 Posted December 29, 2023 Bl**dy hell, he tinkers with this team so much. Have Batth & Gibson even played together this season. Why wouldn't you continue with Mclean in defence if that had been working, and it disrupts a growing partnership between Nunez & Sara. At least Rowe & Sargent to comer off the bench, which is good news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 1,946 Posted December 29, 2023 One thing you have to hand to Wagner - he's willing to make unpopular calls. Seems like overthinking to me - but let's see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,136 Posted December 29, 2023 Could be some players are a bit on the fatigued side? Doesn't exactly seem inspiring but let's see how it goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He certainly does. In a way I like someone prepared to mix things up. Yet, we all know, the best teams tend to have a core of the same 11 to 14 players who get to know each others' playing patterns. That's why his subs often fail in my opinion. Apart from Idah. Yet...(1) he is resting some players in a busy schedule (2) all will be revealed by about 9.40! I'm not enamoured with that line up though. Yet, one glimmer is Josh back. What odds I wonder for him to score as a 70th minute sub? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,798 Posted December 29, 2023 Any team with Fassnacht, Hernandez and Gibson in it is not going to trouble the top 6. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,547 Posted December 29, 2023 Ok, I'll say it. This is bizarre. Goes against all obvious logic. Cue a 6-0 win to us..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,209 Posted December 29, 2023 Busy time, resting, fatigue OK, But Sara goes on and on. Infrequently substituted, never dropped (even for meaningless cup games,) rarely injured and always puts in 100% performances. What a player. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,800 Posted December 29, 2023 Lets be honest , McLean was always going to be moved out of defence at some point...if not for Gibson, then most certaintly for Hanley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has looked every minute of his 34 years recently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
