    I understand that TC is about our only threat going forward (by getting us up field rather than in terms of scoring opportunities) so if you must play him then change the system & play him out wide & have 2 front men who are reasonable goal scorers (Dykes & Kelman/ Godden).

    Kaminski apparently felt his hamstring in training ? … but the question again is Campbell .. WHY  … would have started with Kelman and Gooden done something different ,run and pressed there back line … 
    Didnt realise your hamstring was in your shoulder.

    Do we have an agreement with Liverpool to start Chambers in every game, I don't think he did enough on Friday to keep his place
    Who do we replace him with? Fevrier isn't a defensive LWB, Edwards is injured and we don't have anyone else.

    Campbell is the most likely option...

    Hard to distinguish if you’re watching in black and white.

    It’s beyond me how people can’t see that we are a better side with TC in it - teams just go straight for us when he doesn’t play because we have zero threat / nobody who can go past a player or carry the ball - there’s a reason why NJ is a successful football manager and those who don’t rate or boo TC ain’t - it’s a game of opinions of course and TC is far from the perfect striker but what he adds to the side, a 10 year old with bad eyesight could work out

    The thing with TC and Kelman is I think they both look better coming off the bench. Campbell provides pace and impetus, Kelman is useful to have in the box for if we get the ball to him in a good area. You sort of waste one by starting him and give the other an opportunity to impress off the bench. I don't think there's a right answer with it at the moment but either way the onus is on the player coming on to add something to the team when they do so let's hope Kelman can get us another important goal today

    Then play TC in his natural position.......as a winger.

    He does... He'll drift out to the wing a lot in the game
    He hugged the touchline by the West Stand on Friday, but still got accused of being a Striker

    Baffling that Fullah is not even on the bench, unless he picked up a knock.

    I don't think anyone has accused Campbell of being a striker  ;)

    Do you think with our pedestrian midfield and general need to play a low risk game due to having inferior players,  we could play wingers and the 2 strikers that you want ? We would probably get thumped most weeks - can we not accept that NJ is doing the best with what he has ? It’s not pretty. And it’s bloody frustrating to watch but the alternative I’m pretty sure, would be a lot worse - time to rip up the formula is in the summer, not now whilst we still need points

    As things stand, the difference is 7-pts rather than 8-pts... Its Leicester against Sheff Wed that is always going to be the problem - In an ideal world, we'll negate that when we visit Sheff Wed ourselves, but understandably we've no faith in not being the banana skin

    Chambers is the only option in his position.

    Hope Fullah is injured, else barmy not to have him on the bench.

    Too many the likes of Docherty, not Champ standard - Carey, can score yes, but goes missing for parts and excruciating decision making. This bloody midfield!

    Need 3 points desperately - COYR!!!

    Not convinced by that lineup. 

    When I expect us to lose we win, when I expect us to win we lose. 

    I think 2-0 Watford

    Does the site go sideways and back to the keeper though?
