Fosu & Mavididi must play every minute unless / until we score. They're the most creative players in the team and we need to test their keeper much more than we did tonight.
I actually quite like that, but Mavididi is pretty terrible. How about straight swapping him for Ajose and putting Zyro upfront or putting Page in at
Mav is inconsistent - but having the added threat of Fosu might help him. We can always change things if he is having a poor game. But he is the sort of player who can make something happen.
Do not know how Reeves got in over Marshall or Aribo,so Marshall in for Reeves,Fosu to start over Mavididi,and possibly Aribo for Kashi,who was a bit wayward last night.
We can't play 442. Their extra man in midfield gave them a greater control of the game in the middle of the park last night, and that will only be worse on the road. 4-5-1/4-3-3 is the way to go.
We played with no width yesterday and this was down to no wingers and only DaSilva willing to go forward. Konsa is not a right back and just does not go forward. We were so poor in the final third and that was because we had no options out wide.
Not over impressed with Kashi last night. Ajose too lightweight against the Shrews defence. I just prefer Aribo over Kinda in defence and I'd give Marshall the chance to create a bit more width. Reeves simply not good enough.
DaSilva was the best player for us on the last two games, can't imagine taking him out. Struggled with up front next to Mag - Zyro is crap from what I saw at Rochdale, but would a partnership work with Mag? Ajose works hard but hasn't come up with much in terms of goal threats from what I can tell - Mavididi lost possession repeatedly last night and seems selfish, never makes the simple pass, but he is a threat with his speed etc.
I'd have Umerah and Reeco on the bench. Anyone spot the selection criteria? Don't think we will get anywhere shuffling the 14 from Thursday. A bit of pace at the back will allow us to play further up the pitch.
We lost the midfield battle yesterday that can't happen again. Reeves isn't suited to that sort of physical battle so I'd bring Aribo in for him. Kashi was poor added little gave away too many free kicks and was so wasteful on the ball.
We need to pack the central midfield but need goals so have to go two up top. So either the diamond or a 433.
Posted this in the other thread as I hadn’t really noticed this one...
Okay so I’ve had a little think and there’s two things I’ve come up with, one is something to definitely consider, the other is what I would like us to go with but won’t ever happen.
1. Konsa in central midfield has got to be a real option. I know Dijksteel is a central midfielder, but much prefer him at right back than Konsa, plus he can give us that extra energy and bite in the middle, people say he done a great job in that role at Shrewsbury only a few weeks back. Therefore, I would still be happy to see something like this:
2. Playing a back three with Marshall and Dasilva as wing backs, this will allow us to see Dasilva pushed further forward where his ball control and attacking talents can be used better. It’ll allow Fosu to be in the free role behind the two strikers and he can really hurt teams there.
did we not beat them 2-0 because of a complete clanger by them
Yeah we were 1-0 up going into added time and they were desperate for an equaliser until their keeper skied one and Josh had an empty net to finish into. 2-0 and game over.
They obviously wouldn't be pushing any near as hard for an equaliser this time if it's 1-0 at 90 minutes but that would still be a decent result for us.
From this situation I would snap your hand off for extra time and potentially penalties.
There's no way we Josh gets the drop, he had a good game for us I thought and was unlucky not to score from one of the headers. He also looked really up to it, only complaint is his lack of runs.
we need to be able to snuff out their key player - Nolan. Who is capable of doing that? Kashi plays too deep and need JFC to do the artwork - maybe a time for Konsa to play midfield and ler Dijksteel loose on the right - Bowyer said in his post match that their left back wasnt going to hurt us then lets attack him with Marshall and Dijksteel
Amos Dijksteel Konsa Bauer Pearce DaSilva Reeves Forster-Caskey Aribo Fosu Ajose ...... two wing backs and no long ball shite (Shrewsbury have a team built to deal with a physical forward line) play in on the deck and use our players who have a trick or two to unlock these clodhoppers

leave at least Ajose and Aribo up field when defending dead balls, 1) for quicker out balls and 2) to reduce the congestion in the box
Fosu to add pace if we're still chasing goals
Zyro as target man if we're desperately chasing goals
Marshall to add solidity and guile if we're ahead
We need to pack the central midfield but need goals so have to go two up top. So either the diamond or a 433.
