Can’t see RM moving to wing backs and a 2 man midfield at this point. 

He has played it before, but agreed it's unlikely. There's just a lot of question marks about the make up of this side right now.

Not Souttar, felt much better with Chaplin as captain. Think Aluko out injured though so maybe have to play him - keep the arm band with Chaplin if so. Would try to give Bristric 90 mins.

The frustration is that we probably have 7/8 good players that should rip this division up, whether RM is allowed to play them together, get rid of the problem players and play the correct system is another thing.

Slight variation on a popular theme…

Stol is pants, but a better shotstopper than MacCarthy. MacFarlane is a poor fullback presently, (passing was wretched- but that seems to be a prerequisite for a CB in our teams), but I liked his strength and physicality. I’d throw him in at left CB. If Woyo is still here, he looks a better bet at fullback than anyone else - just hope he could transfer it to the left.

Another defeat inbound 

 

3-1 to MK

 

Genuinely concerned about the defence. There are just a few days of window left with Okoli, Soutter and Faes all wanting out. 

 

Gray nowhere to be seen in squad at present. Will get bullied in League one playing Aluko and Thomas in Centre back positions. 

 

Also new no. 9 makes some decent runs but so far looks miles off with poor touches.

Harry Howell quickly becoming a shoe in for me. Think we might have a Mark Davies situation from last time in league one where the guy is miles ahead of the level.

Dribbling for sure he looks levels above, but fitness wise and off the ball didn’t look so fantastic. Chaplin was giving him an earful at times (which is great to see btw)

Burns.        Chaplin.    Alves

Howell looked good but not quite sure of his fitness or defensive work yet - Burns a better pick for this match at this stage.

Won't improve that on the bench. Start him and bring off until can do 90.

This may well bite me in the backside but I’m excited for your visit this weekend. Our style now is more akin to every team in league one that ever gave us a lot of trouble when Russ was our gaffer, and having a look at some of the goals Leicester have conceded, I’d put money on Sam Nombe to have a great game in the press.

 

But we also historically haven’t done overly well when the away side bring 5k+ so honestly, I’m hoping that form holds out and you are all more interested in Russell Martin than getting behind the team.

If you don’t score at least 2 you may as well write your season off to be honest. We are that bad.

IMO, He has to start the majority of the same team. 

 

Only changes I would make would be Alves for Watson and JJ for Coulibaly. 

 

Thomas isn't a great CB option but he's better on the ball than Souttar, a bit quicker and also looks like he wants to be here. 

 

I can't believe we've turned down money for him, he needs binning along with Faes and Okoli.

Another 2-1 defeat seems the most likely outcome here.

 

Last season and this, people focus on the need for a striker and rightly so, but our failings have been more, in my opinion, down to the state of the defence. Pretty much all the business we have done, McFarlane and Bristvic aside have been attacking midfielders, yet we still are incredibly weak at both ends of the field.

 

This might be addressed with the rest of the window but as far as this game on Saturday goes, we will still likely ship at least 2.

Absolutely needs to be a couple of early goals for us so we can settle the nerves a bit and actually then take control of a game .. otherwise itll just be the same odd bag of nerves scared of whose going to make the mistake that leads to the inevitable. Plus im hoping for a good atmosphere so a positive starts needed. 1-3 to us Bristric to get his first goal for us

I am optimistic about this weekend.

I doubt we will keep a clean sheet but, having watched the MK Dons highlights against Huddersfield, they will also give up chances for us. 

 

Fingers crossed for a 3-1 win, with a really good away end playing their part in boosting the team.
