Team for today?

Post by PakefieldBlue »

With all the injuries, suspensions and cup-tied players - I wonder if 3-5-2 might be a good option today:

McG
Burgess - Whatmough - Clarke
Walkes - Naylor - Evans - Donohue - Brown
Curtis - Pitman

That's a gamble going without any wide men. Our game relies on width and getting crosses in - it doesn't seem to suit us to have too narrow a game. I would hope that Dennis might be fit and could play out wide on the right. Its a shame that Nathan Thompson is out because he overlaps well and might have filled in down the right. I don't have any confidence in Walkes in that role.

But our preferred style of play hasn't been working without Hawkins - is today a good time to try something different?

Watching on tv today, I thought it was a very even affair and a draw the right result. However, for me, Walkes had a great game in an unfamiliar role. With having a lack of wide players, we were still looking at the long diagonal ball as our route 1, but also think that Pittman struggled in his lone role (others have said this before, but it was noticeable against a stronger defence).

This was a good look at how a mid table Championship team faces a top League 1 outfit and at times, we lacked something going forward, but that has been where our frailties lie. Will Jamal Lowe be back for the replay?

More thoughts tomorrow, but for now, Lowe will be back, but Curtis now suspended.

Curtiss being suspended may not be a bad thing, he looked very tired to be fair.
