Phillips or Rudd? - Phillips as I don't think Rudd will be ready anyway. Foley or Konsa? - Foley, Konsa on the bench instead of Johnson Fox or Chicksen? Fox at LB but i'd play Chicksen on the wing Botaka or Jackson? Jackson
I'd also drop Ajose and play Lookman up behind big Mac.
Botaka is always going to blow hot and cold, but he's perhaps our most creative player and when he's hot he has a final ball no-one else in the squad offers.
While I'm not antipathetic towards pragmatism , that team is praying for 0-0
Not at all, with Lookman and Chicksen that's quite a attacking mid-field.
Depends how you look at it I think. I was thinking in a game away at Millwall, where we haven't played well the Saturday beforehand, Chicksen is a better bet than Botaka. He can attack well enough, shown he can score goals, and is going to be more reliable. Jackson needs to start for his leadership in itself, we desperately lacked that on Saturday.
With Ajose, Botaka and Hanlan on the bench, we have options to show we want the win if it were 0-0 after 50-60 minutes.

As for Chicksen, it's a no-brainer isn't it?
