I'd have Ekpiteta in place of Casey personally. They will be big lads and he copes better with a physical battle.O’Donnell

This won’t happen, but I’d love to see it
O'Donnell had a great game in terms of shot stopping last night and has looked assured in all the games he's played, but it's his distribution and kicking that isn't up to Grimshaw's level, and nearly ended up costing us a couple of times last night, so for that reason I'd have to keep Grimshaw in, as you'd expect us to control the ball more vs a Steve Evans team. Otherwise I'd agree with the rest of the team.O’Donnell

Game of opinions fella. I rate Grimmy and would be fine with either in net tbhO'Donnell had a great game in terms of shot stopping last night and has looked assured in all the games he's played, but it's his distribution and kicking that isn't up to Grimshaw's level, and nearly ended up costing us a couple of times last night, so for that reason I'd have to keep Grimshaw in, as you'd expect us to control the ball more vs a Steve Evans team.

Critchley doesn't pick Eki because he's not too good at distributing the ball when Critchley has the players playing tippy tappy football. If we don't see Eki in the first eleven then we know we are going there to play tippy tappy football and end up getting stuffed.I'd have Ekpiteta in place of Casey personally. They will be big lads and he copes better with a physical battle.
But he is by far our best defensive defender, we also tend to play out more from the right and left side, and Morgan when he drifts centrally is a good outlet, as is virtue in that role. Also marvs distribution from a central role is nowhere near as bad as Norburns. Additionallly last night we were caught out a dozen times, and it's been a consistent failing, and I personally think its largely down to Norburn not doing his defensive job.Critchley doesn't pick Eki because he's not too good at distributing the ball when Critchley has the players playing tippy tappy football.

Casey was easily pushed off the ball by their player when he then fluffed his chance,I'd have Ekpiteta in place of Casey personally. They will be big lads and he copes better with a physical battle.
Joseph is ill he should have been in the squad Tuesday night but was throwing up all Monday nightI'd want Eki and Hubby in the back three, the others a Todd up between Casey and Pennington, but it'll probably be Connolly for the physicals.
Gabriel Morgan Norburn Coulson across the middle.
Joseph Dembele CJ seem nailed on starters.
That's 3 days ago. Hopefully on the mend.Joseph is ill he should have been in the squad Tuesday night but was throwing up all Monday night
You mean the same tippy tappy football we played at home when we stuffed them 3-0 and made them look distinctly shite?Critchley doesn't pick Eki because he's not too good at distributing the ball when Critchley has the players playing tippy tappy football.
