Lets Dolan or Gallagher can train tomorrow. Sam Burns should be on the bench at least tomorrow. 

 

On the bench for training?

Ayala has missed a few days of training too. You know with him that a missed game is always around the corner, lets hope he is ok for Saturday.

If not, give Van Hecke a start. Magloire was obviously out of his depth and as such there was understandably issues with cohesion in the defence in the last 2 games, but Carter himself was poor whilst acknowledging these difficulties.

I think I would play Carter over Van Hecke due to him having played more game time this season

He was poor in the last 2 games, and anyway if we base on that logic, Van Hecke, Wharton, Johnson, Rankin Costello and Dack will never play this season as there will always be someone who has played more.

I don't think the time at right back helped carter. It exposed him badly, although,to be fair to him, he didn't completely disgrace himself. If Ayala is fit you can really play either of the 2 beside him , but if Lenihan is and Ayala isn't would go with Carter. Hopefully Lenihan and Ayala are both fit though....

Hopefully Pickering is well enough to play

I thought Carter was actually better at right back (he looked out of position but coped very well) earlier in the season than he was at centre back in the last 2 games. The chaos around him wont have helped but he himself was poor.

Just seen the clip a few posts back!

Thought he was much better second half against Blackpool where he got back to previous games performances. 

It's based that 3 games in the next week and Van Hecke has only just returned from injury. No point in rushing him back from injury. Maybe selected for QPR game instead

If he is back in the UK on Saturday morning then he surely should be ok for Tuesday.

Hope so yeah, Jet Lag can be a pain but maybe if he’s back Saturday he’ll be fine

Did this goal stand? Pretty sure it wouldn’t these days I seem to recall a Le Tissier effort similar with someone chipping it up

edit - the Le Tissier one was rolled to him and he lifted it himself

Ayala was poor the last match.The team in general were poor and didn't help Carter having Magloire that side of him.Everytime a young player has a poor game it doesn't mean they have to be dropped the following game.Van Hecke has missed pre season and only recently started training.Fingers crossed Lenihen is fit but feel Carter would be more deserving of a start with a proper right back playing

The goal stood, but then the technique was banned, as it was deemed to touch the ball twice, once with each foot, even though it was simultaneous

The perfect game for Brereton...we will miss him surely....time for Butterworth, Dolan and Gally to step up.... Would put Burns or McBride on the bench too.

Edun would replace Pickering if he's out with tonsilitis.

Only one way to deal with this sort of free kicks just outside the box ...the Zaire way..WC '74 !

 

[Oldgregg86]

I’d just play butterworth the way we played arma last season why everyone’s ill 

[RoversClitheroe]

If he plays that Poveda ahead of Butterworth I'll be fuming, he's bigged Butterworth up in the media 3 times this season and yet to give him a chance.

Meanwhile Poveda who has been nothing short of a disaster is getting game time off the bench.

I'd go a front 3 of.

Dolan Butterworth Kedira 

Burns to come off the bench for one of them and bag a Hatrick in 5 mins

Agree - fitness of Dolan/Gally depending.

I think the only case for not starting Butterworth if we're missing at least 2 out of Brereton, Gally and Dolan could be ongoing concerns about his fitness, but if he can't even manage 60 minutes by now then that's a really bad sign.

That is not Burns's game. He has loads of energy and puts defenders under constant pressure. Eventually they make a mistake and he siezes on it.

Butterworth must feel special after hearing that. Can someone give Mowbray a nudge and tell him that the lad is now 22?

There's also McBride and Burns.

I think a lot of people will be.

[Wheelton Blue]

Buckley/Dolan/Poveda is my bet, with Johnson replacing Buckley in midfield.

A whole ONE player on international duty, must have been like a ghost town down there, though these are the hurdles you have to face when ‘the journey’ leads to such a quality squad, ay!
