Rousseau 10,825 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Interesting... There are a few changes, yet it's still a bit meh. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) I take it Aribo's playing the central forward role again? Not a bad line up but I'd like to have seen King and Lowry start. We really have to win today: to recover from Wednesday but more importantly, to start winning trophies regularly again.

der Berliner 3,828 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Shocking front line, three strikers on the bench. As I said elsewhere, we need to cash in on Aribo, Kent and Kamara, so this trash will finally come to an end. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only count two strikers on the bench and neither are 100% fit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just have to hope the three forwards can conjure something up or we get something from a set-piece. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,673 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Despite the lack of a out and out striker, I'm happy with that team. All about how we react the Wednesday and I'm hoping the players can find on more match of character and energy to win this trophy. We don't deserve to finish the season with nothing but we'll need everything today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hardly know the status of Roofe`s fitness, Itten was there last weekend and scored and played well. Sakala is a striker, who played most of his career games as a centre-forward, scoring 31 goals in 91 games there. We love our one-striker stuff and put him on as a winger, more or less. In any case, he is far more lethal than Arfield, Kent or Aribo in a front-line role. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Its hard to complain too much about the lineup. Lowry and Sakala could have started. Lowry should have I would say. I’m a wee bit concerned Lundstram could be leggy after 120 mins in that heat, and hasn’t played beside Davis much at all. But what do I know. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a striker that can play on his own, for me. I will never be convinced that he's a striker. You're not wrong that he's a forward, but I think he'd be replacing Kent or Diallo in our line-up today, not Aribo. He'd be best as an inside forward, alongside another inside forward and striker, IMO. Roofe is not fit enough to start. You have a point with Itten. Maybe he's just not favoured? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
