A better balance in midfield, guess Vrancic needs a rest. Sawyers has played himself out of the team, time for Clucas to have one of his one in ten performances. Totally disagree Zero creativity - baby has been thrown out with the bath water Did you watch the midfield versus sheffield united?

Agree with that, but maybe MON sees this as a tougher game than away to Sheff Unitedš¤·š»āāļø I think it will be but with that I want my better players playing against them. A point at the weekend would have been fine. I like Clucas though, maybe theyāve seen something that suggests a midfielder that arrives late in the box will cause them issues. No idea. Just seems odd on the face of it. You would ālike Clucasā š©

Would have preferred sawyers instead of Sawyers shouldn't be on the pitch. Swap for Thompson with vrancic playing would have been spot on for me Aside from one glaring defensive lapse, Sawyers was the best player on the park in the second half of the Sheff Utd game.

As always the team news is met with negativity. Bit like when Southgate goes all attacking and draws at home to Hungary. Letās see how it plays out.

Hopefully a nice deflection off of back turning Cahill will get us a goal.
Why are we still playing Powell up front? Iād much rather he be the attacking midfield option behind the front two though I guess the midfield needs all the help it can get with Allen playing. At least lazy isnāt.

Our best midfield performance was against west brom so I'm struggling to understand why we haven't gone with that since Fair point. You can only assume that Vrancic is in need of a rest.

Perhaps Vrancic hasn't gotten over the knock he took before Bosnia? He wasn't exactly at his best versus Sheff Utd.
Would prefer pretty much anyone else in there over Clucas right now though. Another one who frequently forgets to track his man, can't pass and if he doesn't score, doesn't do anything of note.

Heāll either hide behind a couple of the opposition, and even sometimes put his hands up to receive when thereās no chance. Or heāll jog directly up to the player that has the ball and ask for it. I hope he can prove me wrong tonight and puts in a shift at least š

Campbell off the bench to smash the winner, the stadium would erupt. Yep we didn't bring him on the team just to sit on the bench, if the game calls for him he'll play tonight. Can't wait to see him back out there.

Clucas needs to start pulling his finger out and making an impact.
Hopefully weāll be string off the bench if itās tight late on. Pleased Thompsonās on but iām a bit worried about the creativity without Vrancic and Sawyers. Iād have just dropped one of them.

Beyond Tymon swinging it in for Powell it's very hard to see where a goal comes from out of that. Oh well plenty options on the bench I guess GOAL 89' T. Campbell ;-)

I'm with you lot, clucas has not earned a start this season IMO.
He can do those nice runs into shooting positions but he constantly passes back. Think it'll be mario or romaine time later in the game.

No creativity in midfield, what a surprise from MON! What do you mean āwhat a surpriseā? The (valid) criticism of him in recent weeks has been that heās prioritised creativity at the expense of solidity. Tonight is the first time in a long time he could be accused of being negative.

Looks like we were right about Clucas.
Awful choice for team balance today. We needed Vrancic or Sawyers from the off.

If he took a pay cut it might have helped us this year? hmmm quite possibly.. plus his ability to score goals was likely to have been a consideration too. Can only hope he starts to show a better return on the faith shown.

I think Clucas is finished at this level and he knows it
He is managing to somehow pull the wool over a manager who, if more experienced, would have got rid in the Summer
