Who drops out of Chaplow, Hammond, Morgan and Cork in that case? If we had 7 spaces then it would already be happening IMO, but impossible with just 5.
-------------Davis
Frazer-Fonte-Hooiveld-Fox
SDR-Hammond-Chaplow-Lallana(?)
--------Lambert--Guly
If Lallana isn't fit, then Guly back in midfield with Barnard up front.
We've lost far more important games than this before - with our full first team - and bounced back to win the next one.
Plus I don't think any of those 3 will play.
I fully agree with Adkins team selection. I'd rather take a chance without Guly, Barnard and Lambert and have them in good shape for saturday than take a chance with one of them and risk them being jaded.
