What will we do?
It’s a real conundrum with Bae hitting form after a slow start.
I’d go with
Johansson
Junior (he’s been a lot better recently)
Phillips
Gibson
Stevens / Bocat (interchanging)
Seko
Lawal
Moran
Gallagher
Cannon
Bae
It’s a toughy on Manhoef as he’s a great player but for the benefit of the team Gallagher has to play.
With Burger and Million on the bench it’ll certainly give us options.

Think Gallagher and Cannon would only start in the 442/424 we saw when he was fit. But we’ve seemed much better with 3 in midfield. |

Lawal 3 weeks from the horses mouth
So that’s Burnley at home if all goes to plan

Million is a difference maker, no matter how he's playing, you can't drop him imo.

given the high frequency of matches & 5 subs its not an issue
we will have 6 midfielders (am not counting Pearson) to choose from, good to see Sol on the pitch today

People are expecting far too much of Gallagher on the basis of that one game. He’ll be a useful player to have in the squad but I don’t think he’ll ever be much more than a bit-part contributor because of form and fitness issues. I wouldn’t be planning a team with him starting much tbh.

I think we need to sign a striker capable of playing up top on his own. Get rid of Ennis to create space in the squad.

The expectations of Lawal are ridiculously high.

He won't be on much and we will probably loan him out for nothing so money wise that doesn't work however would still get him out of the door anyway as he's not good enough Tezgel should get the minutes Ennis has had |

Lawal can play centre back also guys.

Million is a difference maker, no matter how he's playing, you can't drop him imo. He has a goal in him doesn’t he. The game can be quiet, and he can pop up and hit on from 20 yards. |

We’ve been playing the same formation, just with Moran as one of the two up front. When we made subs it was Manhoef/Koumas as the second. |

Million is a difference maker, no matter how he's playing, you can't drop him imo. In this league, I feel like you need a player or two like him. There's so many dead games where the quality is so poor, and he (anmd has) turned 1 point into 3. |

It’s a bit like dropping Victor for Bonham because you don’t like men with beards. |

The trouble with Manhoeff is his decision making, selfishness. He rarely passes early waiting to see if something will open up for him first by which time the opportunity has passed. There was one occasion today when Koumas played to him and ran into space for the return but Million had cut into the congested centre of the pitch and ended up having to pass back to the centre halves. He is not the team player that Junho is. Much better to have him coming on as sub when we need something special. Having said that I was impressed with thd way he chased the ball in injury time to win a corner. |

I think Junho is extremely lucky to be keeping a starting position. His output is woeful. I’m beginning to wonder whether that will change he’s proper goal shy. I think ultimately he’ll have to compete for a place as an advanced midfielder. His output just doesn’t cut the mustard as one of your front 3. |

Having said that I was impressed with thd way he chased the ball in injury time to win a corner. Manhoef can be frustratingly greedy but his output is significantly better than Junho’s. We can’t keep carrying attacking players who don’t produce output no matter how much of a team player they are. |

Manhoef was poor today though. I agree that Bae needs to add goals soonish as one of a front three but when Gallagher comes back we’ll have another option up top.

Millwall couldn't handle him. Getting a bit tired tbh. The amount of ball he sees in the final third should produce more. I can live with it not being his game but then you’re not an attacker are you. Given his output I think he should be competing with Moran to play advanced midfield. Imo Koumas would produce more output from the position that Junho is holding down. |

You mean the time he took responsibility instead of trying to lay it off to a player who wasn’t in a better position? He’s a nice player but his aversion to the goal is a big worry for a player in a forward position. |

Just needs to step up in certain areas and impose himself on the game more. Absolute talent of course and think this season will define him. |
