Not sure I trust Bakinson and Palmer though and would prefer O'Dowda and a hopefully now fit Massengo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massengo is nailed on starter IF fit, no time for COD for me (see other thread). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 As others have said, I’m praying we have Han-Noah or Atkinson back, preferably both. Can’t say I’d have Bakinson anywhere near the first team. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UREDS_91 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Bakinson in a two would be suicide. May as well give them the midfield like we did on Saturday. Needs two players to do the running around him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Bakinson should be nowhere near the starting XI, IMO, and surely Massengo is only in contention to start if he was fit enough to be on the bench on Saturday? As he wasn't, I think it might be a big risk to throw him straight in to start. Pring's a better option wide left, not at LB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Just re-read that side. Yes no protection for Tanner definitely. Bakinson and James, well the latter is fine but I can see depending on how Nottingham Forest setup that being bypassed, outmanouvered whatever. The left side looks acceptable tactically speaking. Scott behind the striker? Always thought he was a wider player, no real issue with giving Martin a rest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest all three if we can and let's try some fresh legs and ideas. Wells up front down the middle and keep the ball on the frigging ground for him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The only changes I can see is if Atkinson and Massengo are available. I can’t see CoD anywhere near the squad after his poor showing on Saturday. Williams will definitely be out, not sure about King tho.

Now, as a bit of a medical expert, I watched a couple episodes of Casualty, I saw Han-Noah on Saturday and watching him walk up the steps, crouching down for a photograph with a young fan, I would say tomorrow may be a bit early but fingers crossed for Saturday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 In NP’s interview in the the Sky Sports highlights, he said that some players who haven’t had a chance would have to take it, when it came. This was with a smile, wink, nod nod, so to me, it was a hint we would see a couple of changes on Tuesday. Unfortunately, with Williams and King injured, Martin looking clapped out, possibly HNM not fully fit and Atkinson not fit if he’s been ill and has not trained for a week he’s a bit stuffed. We could see something a bit unexpected and risky. Possibly Vyner in midfield and Palmer playing behind a lone striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Well my view swings on this but I have an underlying, had it for a while, gut feeling that two CMs in the Championship is no longer a basis for success. I would also add 2 CMs plus say Palmer would also fit the bill. Or put another way, it will only take a side so far.

In the minority I am sure on this one but I feel that Palmer could and perhaps should be the forward thinking one of a midfield 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some good games in the 352 of early 19/20 alongside Brownhill and Massengo. It didn’t look a natural threesome on paper, but we played neat football….we also had two mobile strikers….Weimann and Afobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
