Aus Fox Posted 27 November 2023 Posted 27 November 2023 7 hours ago, Happy Fox said: Is Ricardo suspended he's got 5 bookings? Ricardo, KDH and Fatawu all on 4, wouldn’t be against resting all of them for this game, as WBA is certainly our toughest game before Christmas. The 5 bookings is only in the first 19 games, so after WBA only Vestergaard (8) is in danger of a ban. 1
Aus Fox Posted 27 November 2023 Posted 27 November 2023 I think I’d make changes for this, but not huge changes. 6 games in the next 3 and a half weeks, the ability to rotate players out will be key for us to keep our levels high. I would be hoping that no one plays all 6 of the games other than Mads. Mads Choudhury Souttar Coady Justin Winks Ndidi Yunus McAteer Vardy Mavididi Hopefully, get Cannon off the bench for a bit of a run around.
Devonfox1884 Posted 27 November 2023 Posted 27 November 2023 Let’s win this game before worrying about West Brom. I’d potentially make a couple of changes for freshness but nothing too outrageous: Mads Faes Coady JJ Ricardo Winks Fatawu Praet KDH Mavididi Vardy 4
Paninistickers Posted 27 November 2023 Posted 27 November 2023 It is tempting that rest and rotate but the flipside is 3 points is 3 points. Neither pose any danger to us for promotion therefore, maybe place all your chips in the easier three points (sheff weds) and takes your chances v west Brom with a rotated team

Bert Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 I would go Hermansen Faes Coady Justin Ricardo Winks Fatawu Ndidi KDH Mavididi Cannon 4
Chelmofox Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 (edited) Id do Hermansen Souttar Coady Justin Ricardo Winks Kasey Cassadei KDH Mavididi Nacho These are the games Cassadei should be starting (and excelling in). Nacho has annoyed the hell out of me but think give him 55 mins to get his confidence against the worst team in the league. Then unleash the cannon when hopefully we are 2-0 up. I'd start Kasey and bring on Fatawu as an impact just for the sheer fun of it. Edited 28 November 2023 by Chelmofox
izzymuzzet Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 Bit of rotation needed. With only one other fit full back, Ricardo in particular should put his feet up for this one. Mads Faes Coady Justin Hamza Winks Fatawu Casadei KDH Mavididi Vardy Praet, Yunus, Cannon and Kasey to get a good run out in the second half if all goes well.

coalvillefox Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 This looks like an ideal game to get Cannon some game time, maybe an hour and see how he gets on. If he doesn't play against Sheff Wed, when is he going to play ahead of Iheanacho and Vardy? 3

Souttar deserves another go as does Ciady. Vesty is in the best form since he has been with us and he doesn’t run around at break neck speed but if he needs a rest like Riccardo and Faes then this is the one to do it ideally we would rest Justin too but he seems up to speed now and we don’t have too many choices on that side. I wouldn’t mind cannon starting this one and see how he gets on. We should have enough firepower either way. Edited 28 November 2023 by Supergray22
GingerrrFox Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 Hermansen Faes Coady JJ Ricky P Winks Fatawu Ndidi Yunus Mavididi Cannon
Reg Vardy Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 I agree about starting Cannon.....he is a £7.5m footballer........give him an hour..... 2
Clever Fox Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 It makes sense to rest Vesty as he's one yellow away from a Suspension. As we'll need him more against West Brom. So a big chance for Coady to come in and get some game time. McATeer needs to play as he's getting back up to Match Speed and is looking better with each game since coming back from unjury. I'd also like to see Yunus and Cannon get a run out. Yunus to get game time and Cannon to see what he can offer us. He has to get a run out at some point. So I expect Vardy or Cannon to start and the other to come on second half. I'm looking forward to the game and to keep our new run going.
Popular Post moore_94 Posted 28 November 2023 Popular Post Posted 28 November 2023 (edited) Enzo Maresca Pre-Match Press Conference vs Sheff Wed Any new injuries? “No, just Callum.” Important to have so many players available? “Very important. We saw we had some injuries before the break, like Wilf, Yunus, Dennis. It’s very important because we have an important month of games. Chance to choose some of them.” Rotation? “It’s one game at a time. There are some games that for different circumstances or history, they are more or less important, but at the end they are all three points. We are focusing on tomorrow’s game, which is most important.” Cannon? “Tom is completely fit. He has trained for many weeks. The only problem is that he has to be patient. He is a striker and we have Jamie, Kele, and Pato. It’s complicated. Tom has to continue to work.” Difference with Cannon? “They are all different. Tom has full energy. He can help us off the ball a lot. His finishing is very good.” Sheff Wed? “Exactly the same as before QPR. It’s the perfect game for them. Beating us will solve lots of problems. QPR was difficult and it will be the same. They have changed under the new manager, they are now very aggressive and high pressing.” New manager for Wednesday? “With the new manager, they have played six or seven games and they have changed the shape three or four times. It’s difficult to think how they are going to play.” Bottom club? “Probably for us it’s the worst game for us, because for them it could be the day to start the rebuild. I already told the players it’s the worst game.” Edited 28 November 2023 by moore_94 1 8

AKCJ Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 Patson's got no hope of getting a game when the manager doesn't know his name.

Number 6 Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 Agree on probably looking at starting Coady and Cannon. Potentially even giving Mavididi a break too. Mads Ricardo Faes Coady Justin Winks KDH Ndidi Fatawu Cannon Akgun
Fear Of The Fox Posted 28 November 2023 Posted 28 November 2023 Probably wishful thinking here, a quick 2-0 up in HT and maybe try some different tactics like Kasey or Yunus as a 10? Or Kasey as a striker and Yunus as a 10?

Nacho is always "Kel" so "Pato" is very much the norm in regards to his players. 1
