Next up Barnsley who have just been well beaten
Fulham and Huddersfield both targeted Wilmot and Ostigard, looking to get down the side of then. This pushed our wing backs back which has led to the front two being isolated more.
Time for a switch to 433?
Or do we go same again and look for more from midfield 3?

Bursik Ostigard Souttar Wilmott Smith Allen Sawyers Vrancic Tymon Brown Fletcher Has to be this side for sure. Maybe Dougty to rest Tymon? But would do it just for the rest and to give Doughty minutes. Other than that though I think it’s pretty obvious.

Bursik Ostigard Souttar Wilmott Smith Allen Sawyers Vrancic Tymon Brown Fletcher Agree with that. Any word on Powell? I’d have him in before Vrancic if fit

Is it the main game on sky football, or a red button job.?

Hope Brown bags in this one. The rules clearly state that a player will always score against his old club, even for Stoke.

Bursik Ostigard Souttar Wilmott Smith Allen Sawyers Vrancic Tymon Brown Fletcher Surridge in place of Fletch for me, other than that, Bob on!!! 👌🏼 I think Surridge is better suited to away games when he is likely to have more space. I don't think he's a main striker for home games when space is at a premium - Fletcher's link up play is better which helps to create space. Surridge seems much better as a penalty box "sniffer" type of striker

Play Thompson alongside Allen and play one of Sawyers or Vrancic in the 10 role. Drop Clucas!

I think Vrancic may be on the bench for this, can’t see him starting 3 games a week.

Surridge seems much better as a penalty box "sniffer" type of striker Re Surridge did Bournemouth fans mention anything about him being from the bench? I’ve really not been impressed and yesterday was a continuation of that but he has done better in the league games from the bench. Thought his movement yesterday was particularly poor.

If Powell is fit:
Bursik
Smith Ostigard Souttar Wilmot Tymon
Allen
Sawyers Powell
Brown Surridge
If Powell isn't i'd swap him out for Thompson/Clucas (don't think Vrancic has the legs for midweek games) and probably use Fletcher for Surridge as well.

Is it not better to use Vrancic in a potentially tight home game than an away game where we should have more space? Playing him against Barnsley and then Clucas/Powell against Derby seems to make more sense?

Playing him against Barnsley and then Clucas/Powell against Derby seems to make more sense? Perhaps. I just don’t think he will have it in the tank to be as effective as we’d need him to be. I also think that given his recent injury record and his age, he’s more likely to get injured and we would miss him. It’s all completely hypothetical. No one knows how well these players recover etc. To me, Sawyers can operate in that position and is more likely to not burn out despite his lack of preseason. If Powell is fit, I’d play him as the third, if not, I’d use Clucas most likely and hope he actually decides he wants to play football.

If Powell isn’t fit for Barnsley and they keep it tight I wouldn’t expect any of the others to break them down. Whereas Clucas in space generally works.

I think I'd freshen up our defence a bit and give Davies a game aswell. Bursik looked a bit unsteady yesterday saving with his feet, I'd also give batth and Chester a game alongside Souttar and give wilmott and Ostigaard a rest.
Allen straight back in at deepest centre mid with Sawyers playing advanced and Thompson Centre mid.
Fletch in for Surridge
Davies
Smith batth Souttar Chester Tymon
Allen Sawyers Thompson
Fletcher Brown
Create competition for places
