Dicko for left back

[Lightwood]

Pulis must restore Dicko to the Left Back spot and possibly replace Griff with Wilko. The defence at the moment is awful, even Ryan's confidence is shot.

I know that Wilko, Cort, Shawcross and Dicko would be an extremely youthful defence but they have proved in the past that they can be solid.

We need to restore the clean sheets that were once Pulis's trademark and hope to grind out victories.

I don't care how ugly we win as long as we do win

Sorry but Griff should be left back! Wilko right back.

Griff has always performed best at left back so I find it rather strange he's not playing there!

[Veritas]

Agree Wilko and Griff bet pairing for full backs, would like to see Pugh back in midfield

[scfclifer]

pugh defo aint a left back why pulis persists playing him there is beyond belief we keep a clean sheet with dicko there but in the last 6 games with pugh there we have conceded 12 fucking goals its getting beyond a joke

[troj]

Agree.

Wilko Cort Shawcross Griff
Lawrence Delap Pugh Gallagher
Mama
Fuller

This a is a far better footballing side than the one on display yesterday and therefore I'd keep Mama in to allow us to mix it up a bit.

One final change, if Riggot is fit I'd also rest (drop) one of the centre halfs. Conceding the second highest number of goals since November just isn't good enough. Oh and I'd also rest (drop) Simmo.

What we have with opposing teams more and more now is that they fly at us. They close us down quickly and attack us on the break. Yesterdays midfield did not protect the defence nor did it make any really telling balls forward.
When Pugh moved to midfield it was the first time we had looked effective there.
We need at the back a cool head - Riggott - along side hime either Cort or Shawcross but I think Ryan for he would be better with an experienced guy talking to him ( a la Thomo and Taggart).
At full backs - we need agressive, fast defenders - Wilko and Dicko (Griff is a better footballer but we are getting caught with pace)
Midfield - Lennie, Rory, (Pugh/Whelan), (Gallagher/Pugh)
Central midfield must protect the heart of the back four. Rory - except for his throws must "hold". Pugh - I think the better for this approach to be the one to get to the edge of the box.
Up front - Mama (not Cressie as he too often goes to ground and therefore does not chase back and we cannot afford him and Ric. - we actually need a Roberts/Adebola type) with Ric. Ric is so idle at times but he is also a bit special

Wilko Riggot Shawcross Griff
Lawrence Delap Whelan Pugh
Mama
Fuller

-Gally in for Fuller when he gets another yellow and is suspended
-Shuffle in Creswell for pugh/whelan when needed
- Id like to see Riggot given a go, so Cort takes a rest and see what happens
