Toney never got a kick in the home game, marked him out of the game. Clucas and Allen did well on Saturday, be a totally different game than Barnsley who ppressed really well. Shame re mcClean as Brown making no impact at all and Tymon been poor lately . Is fletcher out for sure? Real shame as starting to link up with Powell so expecting Brown again

I think we have to go 4-3-3 without Fletcher. vokes can't start- I'm not going to bother watching if he is.
Davies
Smith Souttar Chester RND
Allen Cousins Thompson
Brown Powell Clarke

Davies Smith Souttar Chester RND Allen Cousins Thompson Brown Powell Clarke You're effectively replacing Fletcher with Cousins! And even if you aren't really, by placing Powell in the main striker role (which he can do), you are inserting Cousins where Powell has been placed the last few games, which is just behind the main striker. Are we talking about the same player???

You could have Powell leading the line and have him drop deeper as the false 9, while the wide players push on, so he's effective playing at sort of 9.5, or you could have him as the out and out centre forward in a flat 4-3-3 with Allen or Clucas as the link player in midfield - not ideal, but they're both capable of it.

On paper at least it should work pretty well tbh. Hopefully we get to see what it’s like on the pitch because because of all the options it looks the best by a mile.

Unfortunately I see a Brentford win as an absolute banker of the weekend. If Fletcher isn’t fit I’d go with Powell up front. Vokes might as well not travel

I reckon we should play our ladies team against them. Probably put up a better fight.

But when was the last time doing that was a success? Whichever way you put it it's a poor solution to losing a striker.

No Powell as well. Powell was on the bench,Clucas not involved(injured?) and no it was Gregory with the tap in off the keeper with the goal at the end of last season

Whatever the team I would just like us not to go into this game in ‘frightened underdog’ mode and for someone in our midfield/attack to show a bit of the ‘quality’ they are handsomely paid for. It’s Brentford not Man City and our wage bill is probably double the home teams.

If Fletcher isn't fit,just try that young lad who was on the bench Wed. ,but for God's sake, don't play Vokes.

I honestly believe a front three of Norton, Varian and Wright Phillips would offer more than Vokes, Tymon and Brown..

I suspect the hanging on comes from our own anxiety rather than what was actually happening on the pitch.

Play Clucas in front of Allen and Cousins, and play Powell further up with (lamentably)Brown and Clark.

I thought you were discussing the 1-0 at our place, not the 3-2 at theirs.

No I meant at 3-2 we were hanging on😄 Ah yes. 3-2. I remember now. Tymon gifted them a 2nd in added time with a pathetically lame back bass, without looking, because he panicked at being closed down. How could I forget?

I think their sub, Forss came on a got a couple, one of which was a Tymon howler as Dave said. On the back passing front, Mikel is a prime candidate, I have noticed in recent matches that he passes back blind, from all over the pitch. Disaster waiting to happen.
