Squad for the last 9 games

sam3110

Philips

Matthews Lockyer Sarr Purrington

Cullen Pratley

Green Aneke Williams

Bonne

Is how I'd like to see us line up

Amos, Pearce, Oshilaja, Lapslie, Forster-Caskey, McGeady, Hemed, Oztumer, Doughty as the 9 subs with Morgan, Page and Field around too

I have a feeling we'll see Lyle up front for the 3 games in June...

I've no idea how we'll line up!

My one prediction is that the Hull game will be an awful one, 2 struggling nervous teams, desperate not to lose

Pratley is pretty much first name on the team sheet for me. 

I think Pratley is the man you want to bring in to finish a game tight. 

Given his age, his ability to keep up must be taken into account. He'll always be in my squad, even if not starting. 

Honestly his age hasn’t been an issue, he seems super fit and has played a lot of football in recent times, I’d probably have more concerns about Field’s fitness to be honest. I’d base opinions on Pratley’s fitness and conditioning on what he’s actually shown rather than some broader notion of what we think it should be due to his age. He’s been such an important player for us in recent times that I would want him involved as much as possible.

It can’t be any worse than it would have been if we’d played when originally scheduled!

Photographed playing golf today! I hope you’re right but I think that ship has sailed

We don’t have a match preview thread yet so weren’t sure where to put this, but good news for us.

i know he was unfit before but there seems an awful lot of faith that Aneke will come good 

Without Taylor we will be lacking goals. Aneke has a goal in him as does Mc Geady. We are desperately short of goalscorers in midfield. Williams no goals for us Oztumer no goals for us, Lapslie one goal, Doughty one goal.

I am just hoping that Aneke comes good.

I always remember Aneke coming on for the last 20 minutes or so at Reading away early in the season where he looked really useful. I think he could make an impact in these last 9 games if he can avoid injury.

I remember him terrorising Villa, sure it was pre-season, but he bullied them.

What's also interesting is his follow up tweet

Lichaj, Irvine and Kingsley have all played their last games for the club. Mallik Wilks can play against Charlton and Birmingham but not the other seven games after Barnsley declined to extend the loan.

When clubs in the same division loan each other players, other factors come into play. With our loanees

Cullen, Smith, Green - PL
McGeady - L1
Field - no threat to WBA, indeed him playing well might benefit them if we take points of promotion rivals
Davis - not a direct relegation rival, but close enough that they might not want us to have him after June 30th?

If they are worried about us threatening their position they would probably prefer we kept and played Davis!

Let's hope Adam Matthews if at peak fitness and doesnt get injured as without Solly we dont have any other natural right backs. Oshilaja and Wiredu are the options if needed.
