We'll race into a 3-0 lead and end up 3-3. Just joking!
We値l be 1 down in 1st 10 mins 2 down after 35 mins pull 1 back around 60 mins then let another in around 80 mins
Lose 3 1

A loss by the odd goal...more unfortunately if Bartley plays !
At least a 2-0 defeat.
If they go 2 up early I can see this being a real hammering in the 5-1 region.
A lot depends on team selection and formation and experience.
I壇 be going 4-4-1-1 and finding places for both Brunt and Morrison although I expect that痴 not a popular suggestion.
I壇 also want Field in my eleven as well.
I壇 sacrifice either Gayle or J Rod for the away leg,I知 not sure either are players I壇 want in the trench for such a battle.

An away goal could be crucial
I expect we'll lose, but I'm hoping the tie is still alive for the 2nd leg. Which it will be if we lose by one goal. If we were to draw or better - I'd be delighted..
I don't know if he'll stick with 3-5-2 or not, but I'd play 4-2-3-1 and I'd focus only on picking our best 11. I'd play JRod in a deeper role.
I still think our 1st choice back 4 are as good as it gets in this league, but a back 5 just confuses them and if anyone get's injured then the reserve players aren't up to scratch.
So I'd go something like....
Johnstone
Holgate, Dawson, Hegazi, Gibbs.
Livermore, Brunt
Phillips, Johanson, JRod.
Gayle
I think that is our best 11 and formation.
Johnstone has an error in him, hopefully it won't happen in the playoffs. But the time to drop him was a few weeks ago if you were going to, no point doing it now.
I'd tell the team not to launch it up to Gayle because it will just come back to us, but play into space for him to chase or play it into his feet. We would at least be threatening on the counter and from set pieces with Brunt's deliveries.
Let's see what he does....
Correct.
