I reckon he's going to drop Baker, I've also got a feeling he might return to a back three:
Bonham
Clarke Souttar Wilmot
Sterling Kilkenny Thompson Tymon
Campbell Delap Fosu
I'm going for a 1-1 draw, Andreas Weimann will get his routine goal against us to cancel out Campbell's early opener.........

Bonham
Sterling Taylor Souttar Fox
Kilkenny Baker
Campbell Powell Tymon
Delap
I wouldn’t mind Baker being dropped for Laurent/Thompson though and we should use DWP from the bench at least.

Once again people calling for a player who isn't playing much, "the grass is always greener"?, yet when he has played, bar a goal against Fulham (which us oldies will remember ) he's done nothing to suggest he should start

He looked really bright when he came on earlier in the season. He has massive potential and wasn’t even on the bench for the last game (not heard of any injury?)

Hard to do too much with 12/15 min cameos…..

I'm not anti him, as I say, I really want him to do well, for me he just isn't doing it

I mean like we are doing well without him arnt we not

I'd go back 5 with Tymon, Taylor, Souttar, Jags and Clarke (assuming Sterling still isn't fit)
Midfield of Kilkenny, Thompson and Powell
Delap and Campbell up front

Bonham
Wilmot Souttar Fox
Sterling Thompson Laurent Tymon
Campbell Delap Fosu
The 433 we played against Cardiff was horrible - reminded me of a slightly less pedestrian version of Rowett's 433 with the wide players way too wide and the central strikers isolated. Wingbacks allows the forwards to get more compact and attack the box and it gets the best out of the likes of Tymon and Sterling.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Baker dropped as his contribution has been patchy and I'm not convinced he's captain material. I'd give it to Souttar - best position for a captain for me.

Wont matter if we go for a 3,4 or even 5,at the back,we will concede,so we have to get the front players right,in the hope we score more than them.

I'd prefer the Laurent Baker partnership when they are up for it, but lately I wouldn't mind seeing a change to either Thompson / Kilkenny or Powell / Laurent. Midfield has been woeful lately.

I know what you're saying but I think it has a lot to do with the shite questions. I cringe a lot when i listen to the press conferences. I also think he can't wait to start dismantling this squad and building his own. He's made various comments about a lack of wide players, a lack of players who can take people on etc.

I've just watched the presser and again, he comes across very poorly. Short, sharp and borderline passive aggressive answers to what are pretty decent if not standard questions to a manager overseeing a run of results like this.
A bit of humility won't go amiss and I'll be frank here, win, lose or draw I'm starting to really dislike him.
Away from all that, he looks like a man under huge early pressure and I feel for him. Another manager tossed under the bus by owners asleep at the wheel.
Nothing will ultimately change until they do and the ball is really in their court.
