I suspect im in the minority here but I’d start Olakigbe again. Yes he wasn’t good on Sunday but the last few weeks prior to that he’s played a big part in getting us into the playoffs.

I disagree mate, he’s been ok to so so. I’d try to get Jacobs in his place. I think MOs performance Sunday negated any reason for him to start on the morrow.
Side note, no place even on the bench for James Berry tonight at Charlton.
Can see him being loaned out or even sold, especially if Wycombe do go up, before the start of next season.

Jacobs may or may not be a better option but the idea he would offer any kind of protection to Mandy is laughable.

Realistically we have nobody else but Olakigbe to play on the right tomorrow. Mandy can’t do it cos we don’t have anyone else to play RB and Dobra + Colclough can’t play on the right so I expect MO will retain his place.

Just think he’s done well on the right hand side in he run up to the playoffs plus his pace is a threat as we don’t have much elsewhere. Jacob’s is very good technically however although again some slate him as not good enough either.

No surprise berry not involved, he’s barely been involved since going there. 34 mins of action in total during a few weeks march/beginning of April and tte longest he’s been on the pitch is 18mins! Not even been on the bench as unused sub since early April.

Banks has featured on the right with some effect but probably won't start. He might try Colclough on the right as he's done it before but it never works. The RHS has been a real pain in the Harris this season. I agree, I think Olakigbe will start

Had a desi pub suggested. A fat tandoori mixed grill before will be just the ticket!

We are doing Soho Tavern. I’ve been to the one in West Brom before and they are good

Sounds a good call. You booked or just rocking up?

It’s the only way of solving the right hand side though

Which Walsall will surely target

We need to be aggressive straight away , Jacob’s is the last player I’d use to do that

Then they will play down the middle and target 'CB' Naylor an obvious weak defensive link

I see more people are suggesting three at the back as I have been advocating for days. It would give Mandy both more protection and freedom. I would play Grimes rather than Naylor there though. Before anyone says I know Cook won’t do it.Just as he won’t play two forwards

Play Grimes then, although with 2 traditional CH you could go with an extra ball player

MO is hopeless

Reviews are a bit ropey and parking a real issue apparently. Think we've stick to the one I've had recommended which is a bit further away.
