3 or 4 years ago maybe. His productivity at Huddersfield and here has been nothing of note; why would it change now?

Diouf in and Powell on the bench? And drop Batth? Is your name Nathan?

How did Verlinden even get injured?
Looked fairly innocuous.

“And Sam Clucas has a bit of a hip.” I'm not sure what that even means Go on mate. Just take a wild guess. What might it mean?

At least we might be spared the sight of McClean's crosses clattering into the full back's shin, landing on the head of the first defender or landing at the boot of the first defender. Small mercies and all that.

I'm not sure if these crossing stats show how many find a team mate but I'd be interested to know

He does hit the first man often but his number of crosses per game is impressive. If you think we're better off without him then I take it you're aiming your opinion at a dislike of him and failing to see what actually happens on the pitch. Didn't think was many like that still left of late but never mind.

Didn't think was many like that still left of late but never mind. I do love his attitude but he frustrates me by equal measure, he frequently crashes a cross into the legs of a defender or hits a cross into the middle when with more thought he could just look up and play a pass. I'd have thought the reason his crossing stats are so 'good' is because time after time he wastes the ball by hitting unnecessary crosses instead of being a little more composed.

Powell out wide would be an option, but then I have no idea who we'd bring in to play the no.10/advanced midfield role if he does. And if Thompson now needs to play out wide, we suddenly look very light in centre mid, particularly if Clucas is struggling with injury. Loaning out both N'Diaye and Etebo is now looking like a terrible idea. What a shitter of a day!

Presumably Etebo had to go to let Thompson in as per Brunt and Bruno so it’s now the managers judgement that’s on the line with that one

Unfortunately no way around it - Vokes is coming back in
Ince Vokes Campbell
I'd much prefer Ngoy Campbell Ince but won't happen

Vokes up top with Campbell out wide worked great away at Huddersfield, I dont see why it cant work for the next couple of weeks until Jimmy Mac is back.

Definitely wrongly. Vokes was at his awful worst tonight. Ngoy and Diouf need to come in. Vokes should not start any match, especially an away game where we need to counter attack with pace. Would be great to see what Ngoy can do, he looked good in his 1 sub appearance this season. when used right with the right players around him it can be a useful tactic, like away at Huddersfield where we scored 5 wasn't it.

Wouldn’t have hurt to at least have kept one of the midfielders around.

In MON we trust, he sees them every day in training

3 or 4 years ago maybe. His productivity at Huddersfield and here has been nothing of note; why would it change now? I don't really understand your point. I have no idea how often Ince played on the left for Huddersfield but I can't even remember one game he played for us on the left. OK, my memory may be faulty, but I doubt if even 1 in 10 of his games for us have been on the left. If he was scoring plenty for us on the right I could understand the desire to keep him there but he's scored 2 all season. If he moved to MaClean's spot on the left he'd at least be able to get crosses in with his natural foot. OK he would not be able to cut in and shoot with his left foot so easily, but, as I pointed out earlier, he's hardly been scoring for fun with that tactic. My instinct would be at least give Ince a run out on the left against QPR and see how he does.

He played at Brentford on the left and was anonymous However he's picked up since then, would play him there tomorrow.

Ince has picked up???? What? On the left he won't be able to get past players in order to put in a left footed cross. At least on the right he'd occasionally cut in to attempt a shot, which is about the only thing in his armoury.

Diouf seemed the best option since I am not sure Ngoy is going to be a 90 minute player (then again Diouf may not be either). Also for Batth I have never rated him. Since we have conceded 7 in the last 3 games I would think a change may help.
