Kicking the thread off nice and early.

Arguably the toughest starting eleven to pick this year for Cookie?

I know he likes keeping the same team after a win but I can't see Dobra at least coming back into the matchday squad for one.


With that said, I'd probably only make a couple of changes myself. Berry still better as an impact sub for me and give Jacobs a bit of a breather and start Mandy on the right. Quigley earned another start and after a clean-sheet the back four certainly deserve another go.


Tyrer
King Palmer Grimes Horton
Jones Naylor
Mandeville Banks Colclough
Quigley

Subs: Williams, DJ, Berry, Dobra, Grigg

Loz made the squad photo, maybe surprisingly.

Asante and Rowe did not, unsurprisingly.

Also no Kieron Dyer whom Liam Norcliffe has said there’s a reason for the absence but he’s not plastering on social media.

For me, Jones simply has to come in. Our defensive woes are far more than just the fault of the back four. In fact the majority of it comes from teams running through us because our midfield is too weak.

Naylor and Jones can sit for the entire game for me. Their job should be to defend whether we are at home or on the road. Let the front four do damage. There’s more than enough quality in that front four to hurt teams without the other two getting involved and leaving us stretched.

Very similar to when we had Morsy and Ryan. Yes they got involved sometimes but their main priority was to defend, keep the ball and calm things down when things got a bit rough.
