    No Townsend & Hope It’s Not Reach

    Not bothered Townsend is out as don’t rate him but please play Pipa. I am sure the love child Reach will play and he’s s hite! I fail to find any positives in this guy!

    We need at least a point at QPR as Huddersfield will be tough! To stay in the play offs we need at least 3 points out of both games!

    I don’t like Reach as a full back but there must be a reason Carlos prefers him to pipa

    That and Chalobah on 60 mins is a recipe for disaster

    I think that Reach can do a job at full back but I’d be tempted to give Pipa a go. The little I’ve seen of him looks OK. Agree regarding Chalobah, not impressed.

    Think Reach has improved to be fair and he has played some nice passes in recent games. Carlos obviously rates him but whilst he may be flexible enough to cover at full back I'm still not over sure about his defensive capabilities (though could say the same about Townsend!). I too thought Pipa looked quite good when he got his chance.

    I know some don’t like stats because they don’t show the whole picture but stats wise he doesn’t give the ball away much at all. I think this is what Carlos likes about him.
    83% pass accuracy over the season.

    Pipa should cover it’s his natural position.

    I'd play Pieters at fb and bring Bartley into the centre.

    Think Bartley is one booking away from a 2 game ban so he might stay on the bench, the replacement for Townsend depends weather we go for a back 4 or 5, I would probably play a back 5 with Reach at LWB and Leave Diangana out.

    If Bartley is fit then he should play. He has been missed.
