Allen was probably the worst player on Saturday and now he's the captain ,can only presume its because he can't drop them all.

Looks like Powell will play centrally at least, so that's a plus.
(Assuming it isn't something mental with Smith and McClean as wing backs...)

Allen might be okay in the sitting role without Mikel it always feels like they're in each others pockets.
Its a good decision could have been either of them subbed.
Thompson's set pieces will help.
Shame no Clarke our only outlet for big parts in last few games certainly without Powell.
Big game we really need to get that winning feeling back sharpish.

I don't think captaincy means much beyond semantics nowadays. But still, surely Danny Batth is the captain?

It could easily be three at the back after thinking about it.

Could well be three at the back to match Wednesday.

I’m almost convinced that Allen’s contract says when fit he must play. At least the formation is right.

Considering he was left out of yesterday's line up it's a little strange that Forrester doesn't even make the bench.

Think he’s gone 3 at the back there with that team. McLean and smith wingbacks fletcher and brown up front. Fucking Joe sodding Allen and Thompson then Powell just in front

Looks like it's 4-2-3-1 Not a fan of Brown, but if Clarke isn't 100% fit then he's the only option on the right. He's usually better on the wing than up-front anyway. Allen's lucky to keep his place but glad Mikel's having a rest.

McKinlay read the team out in this order. Almost kind of 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 ish?

Based on what we have to choose from, I’m happy with that. Allen gets forward and can score a goal, Thompson can provide a good set piece. Cousins good at what he does which is just defend. We need goals to win this game
