Started a bit of discussion on Twitter about Ruben and whether he is better starting or off the bench. Personally now he seems to be finding his feet he needs to start whenever possible. Someone mentioned him, Roberts and Enzio sat behind Wootton and I have to agree that would be an exciting prospect, assuming Roberts isn't still suffering with his groin.
Slocombe
Brindley, Rawlo, Graham, DKE
Doyler, Reeves
Roberts, Ruben, Enzio
Wootton
Subs:
Chicksen
Sam
Knowles
JOB
Wolfe
I'm assuming Thomas, McCrory and Lacey are all still injured. If Roberts is injured then it will no doubt be 433 with JOB coming in to replace him.
Nice idea....I’ve lost faith in Enzio now though, his contributions to games now are very limited and he was totally ineffective against chesterfield.
One question I have, why don’t we try Roberts on the left and Enzio on the right so it would suit their preferred foot? A bit radical I know but it could see more balls put into the box.
Roberts isnt fit
Enzio doesnt give a toss and doesnt work anywhere near hard enough
Ruben is an impact player who can change a game from off the bench, play him from the start an if we start badly he is very much a luxury. JOB on the other hand is at it from the first minute and can come off after 60 for Ruben
Reeves pass completion rate on Saturday was below 60% which even at this level is nowhere near good enough for centre mid
We havent got a CB on the bench....Turner is the only player in the squad who can be that player atm and it doesnt make sense to leave him out the squad and of course Ardley wont. Turner will almost certainly start with Graham on the bench
Other than that its about right
If, as I suspect we start this game with the likes of Rubens, Enzio and Sam starting we are going to get beat.
Roberts must be unfit, but otherwise it looks a decent 4-4-2.
