The thing is I know we have been bitten on the arse many times in these kind of games, but we have the home advantage, we aren't playing on some shitty pitch , this game should be a good opportunity for the fringe players to prove they deserve a place in the squad.
Yeah and you can't be in fear and not give others game time, they will be needed throughout the season, they need minutes in their legs. it's a squad game at the end of the day

I think Frank has utilised the squad very well so far and think he will rotate more in this fixture than he has in others due to the opposition and our home advantage.

Those coming in have a responsibility prove they are good enough to come in and do a job.
 
Rotate where we can. Shame Davies, Dragusin and Takai are all injured as would have been good options in this game to rotate even further.

Kinsky
Spence Danso Romero Udogie
Sarr Gray Simons
Johnson Tel Odobert

Romero can be subbed for VDV on 60. Bentancur can replace Simons on 60 too if the game is won. Gray deserves to start in his preferred position so don't think its fair using him as full back cover here. Porro and Kudus need a rest the most!

Not saying that’s what I want but it’s what we’ll get.

Zero chance Sarr would not play in this one - he sat out Brighton game and against Wolves at home he is not the best fit.

So swap Benta for him, and then I think it is correct and reasonable :) .
 
So many opinions on who we should play tonight, hopefully Thomas has a plan to gain a victory without any dramas.
As to the other burning issue, can't have a fish finger sandwich without tartar sauce, what are people thinking?

Kudus needs to be rested and I believe Porro should be as well. Kinsky, Gray, Tel, Odobert, Danso need to start for me.
 
Good lord

Why play Romero LCB?
