Mmm, I’d be using BBD in the middle - more ability to hold the ball up than Armstrong or Archer, but we all know who will come on at around 65 minutes…Archer and nothing will change for the better.

 

We dont know that for sure. Still has tried a few things already. When was the last time BBD played down the middle?

Yep answered. Good to see Dibling and Matsuki on bench on second glance. Pretty damning of sugawara that Fraser is ahead of him.

Fraser deserves selection. Not sure he deserves being moved backwards in the formation.

The head coach seems to see the same game we do. Maybe he watches the matches back afterwards, thus getting our angle/view?

Wellington gets the nod ahead of Manning. Ryan Manning can feel a bit aggrieved that his performance in the last league match is rewarded by, being put back on the bench. 
Random thought perhaps but I’d say there’s a very good chance we will see Manning for Wellington at some point - and that Wellington is going to bust a gut for 60 minutes or so working for Jay Robinson.

All the negativity about Arma starting up top, so he's bound to get the first goal.

7/1 on Bet365, you're welcome.

Didnt he score up there last time? I fancy that bet.

Take free kick out and no one would question that decision.

I agree, I definitely think there's a bench plan in there as well. Would expect to see Manning / Suga / Archer + possibly Dibling even towards the end of the game if we need goals.

Maybe add in the run, control and cross for the crucial winning goal and you may start to get some questions.

Was just discussing this on the transfer thread (I didn't know down and Stewart were out) that Brereton was a decent target man at Forest and I can't understand how he has become a wider forward. Its been a while, but if needs must perhaps he could take his chance and be the focal point up front...you never know he could be resurrected.

I’m confused - one minute you’re suggesting BBD could be the focal point up front and the next you’re questioning my suggestion that he could do exactly that instead of Armstrong? While he was being played on the wing there would be times when he received the ball, held it up well and lay it off.  His huge weakness was getting from the wing into goal scoring positions. Personally I think he’s a clear classic case of ‘square peg in a round hole’.

Could also be saving Manning as a replacement for Robinson in the second half as we are lacking a few options going forward and that’s the only thing Manning is good at anyway.

It was a superb free kick by Manning, but as you say, Still’s apparent rating of Wellington as first choice LB sits well with me.  Manning is proven back up and will undoubtedly be subbed on in the second half.

Tyler looking leaner.

That will be the hunger strike tactic he’s using to force his dream move to Everton

Well there have been plenty saying that Armstrong, Archer and BBD are a perfectly good set of attacking options in the Championship because they've all had seasons where they've scored lots of goals at this level. Looks like today we'll find out if they were right.

Wouldn't you prefer Manning to come on for Welington and Dibling to come on for Robinson for fresh legs? Bringing Manning on for Robinson and still having Welington playing is more defensive.

Jobi McAnuff seems a decent pundit. At least he's done his homework on the saints players 

Tbf most of EFL pundits know lots about the clubs. More insightful than some of the PL dross

Shame we'll have to suffer Andy Hinchcliffe - complete pain in the arse.

Wellington is a liability defensively. Shocking. What the fuck was that through ball pass back. Just clear it FFS.

Also, Stephens has already done one 2 armed push on the back of a striker off the ball in the box. Penalty waiting to happen.

Standard start, then

Clear from the previous games, that the wins papered over some weird cracks. 

Quarshie is a massive accident waiting to happen, and it has
