Coventry will be fired up for this. Have to hope the pressure gets to them today

South Coast Royal
Sutekh Think I’d try a good old fashioned 4-4-2

Lummers
Yidders, Sarr, Mbengue, Obi
Azeez, Hendrick, Fornah, Camara
Ehib, Joao

Subs

CBC
Loum
Holmes
Abrefa
Casadei
Craig
Scott


No Holmes after what I thought was a MOM performance v Luton?


Nope, rather have the pace of Mbengue (given part of Gyokeres’ game is running at centre backs) and the more physical towering presence of Sarr (who actually looks much better in a 4 than a 5).

Anyway I imagine Holmes will retain his place in the real world today.

Camara and Kelvin E in for Fornah and the suspended Carroll are the only changes from Wednesday's starting XI. Long and McIntyre on the bench.

So reckon the formation is 4-2-4 :lol:

Lumley
Yids Sarr Holmes NGW
Hendrick Casadei
Azeez Joao E-hib Camara

You’d also think the club could spell it’s own player’s names though.

Congratulations to Camara. Hope he has a blinder today as well as the other 10 players.

Good to see Long back on the bench too!

I do like the thought of Camara and Azeez out wide if they can both get at the defenders. Both direct players anyway, just can't afford to switch off defensively and will have to do the hard yards which is where they might tire. But if we can get them on the ball and playing through Joao, we might carry some threat.

If Camara was this involved earlier this season he could’ve been a real asset for now going off his recent performances. Shame, but this is his chance to impress and make himself a hero.

In one of his last press conferences, I know Ince was talking about Hendrick and was saying that there were a couple of loan players who weren't as committed as they knew they weren't going to be here next season. From that point, given his performances and selection, I'm assuming he was one of the players he was referencing because I'm 99% sure he won't be here next season.

Certainly a brave team, it feels a bit like this is a selection from a manager with nothing to lose. We have 3 raw and naive forward players in the side, if they do well it'll look a master stroke. My only concern is how good Camara and Ehib are defensively as Azeez isn't great at helping the defence out yet.

Really wondered why he never got a look in given all the injuries we've had this season, looked decent when Pauno gave him a few run outs.

Hopefully he'll commit himself to the club now he's in the first team picture.

I want us to win just as another big oxf*rd you to Ince's negative tactics, comments and sidelining of the youth for tat.

Because he's a young attacking talent and Ince wanted to play with no width.
