Team for Saturday?

Not sure if Rhodes return would be a bonus or not really.
4-4-2 like against Posh - Lavery and Joseph up top.
Coulson should be nowhere near the side - get some pace down the wings as Bolton do play football as opposed to hoofball and we saw last week that we play better against sides that play football.
 
After Tuesday night put 4 in midfield and Dembele behind Joseph. Lavery to replace Joseph second half. Run like uck lads💪
 
Need to pack the midfield & put passes in to move Bolton’s centre back about. They play 3 big uncompromising lads at the back so our pass along the back to Husband to launch it forward isn’t going to work.
433 would be my choice but Crutchless won’t budge from 352/532

Grimshaw

Gabriel Pennington Marvin Husband Lyons
Norburn Byers Morgan(or Carey)

Dembele Lavery Joseph

Can’t have 12 players sadly
 
Would be happy with that if Rhodes is fit.

If he’s not I’d prefer Norburn to come in and Dembele behind Joseph.
 
4-4-2 Critchley we all know it makes sense!
( apart from clueless Critchley)
O'Donnell
Gabriel Casey Marv Hubby.
Dembele Morgan Byers Lyons
Joseph Lavery/Rhodes

If he starts Virtue, Connolly or Coulson I'm out!

I'd love to say just go for it and throw the kitchen sink at them but genuinely don't believe we have the players, attributes or manager to do that.
 
I would go 433...
O'Donnell
Gabriel Marv Casey Lyons
Byers Morgan Carey
Dembele Lavery (if Rhodes injured) Joseph

But he won't so...

O'Donnell
Pennington Marv Casey
Gabriel Byers Carey Lyons
Dembele
Lavery Joseph
 
I would like to see Dembele play a free role, bit like Wes did. We have to worry Bolton and having him stuck on wing with only one way to go won’t bother them. Get him in space running at them. Don’t give him any coaching just say enjoy it and win us the game. Then give him the ball until he runs out of steam. Put your pen down Critchley don’t kill us with science and you go there and don’t do there. Let Dembele roam free. Make Evatt worry. Don’t and we can have our end of season party Saturday night.
 
Because we play football I would be starting with Kouassi up top to give Santos something to think about. Otherwise he will just clear everything up against our little forwards.
