v Watford (a) - 27/8/23

[chaddyrovers]

my team 

                Wahlstedt

Brittain  Carter  Hyam  Hedges

          Tronstad  Wharton

JRC         Szmodics    Gallagher 

                 Ennis

Time to play Leo Wahlstedt and see if he is has good enough we seen in highlights clips and if he should be our number 1 keeper long term and is better than Pears. I still rated Pears alot but I do think its time to see Leo Wahlstedt in action. That's my opinion and I will stick by it

Hedges is playing left back as I want a left footed there and I don't think Batty is ready to start a championship game.

We need to be a lot better defensively here and the enforced change to the back 4 is not ideal. Gallagher has to start and Ennis must be getting close to one. I’d go…

                               Pears

Brittain       Carter           Hyam      JRC

                    Travis          Wharton

Hedges              Szmodics        Gallagher

                               Ennis

 

Travis just gets the nod as Tronstad is still getting up to speed, but based on pre-season and Walsall I’d like to see Garrett get a few more chances too. Defensive options on the bench look very limited. I’d have Gilsenan among the subs before Markanday.

Pears will be there. He set off walking to Watford at the weekend just as Hull were about to score.

[davulsukur]

Struggling to come up with a reasonable formation. Our attack isn't great and Dolan and Markanday aren't good enough.

Gallagher and Ennis probably both need to start.

Did he? Looked to me like he chose not to move at all...

I also think we will go 352. Could be a bit different though with any of Ennis, Tronstad, Garrett, Brittain getting game time

Yeah, it's difficult to predict, I just don't fancy Brittain at left back. 

[Sweaty Gussets]

I think there's very little chance we'll go 3-5-2.

Good test of the squad and JDT ball.

Optimistic but not confident if that makes sense.

My thoughts also.

Head says defeat, but I’ve seen enough from the opening few games to hold some optimism.

I did a thing with the fine fellows at Do Not Scratch Your Eyes if you fancy a listen…

Doubt Wahlstedt will come in till the league cup game

Don't think we can afford to wait.

The lad has a full cap with Sweden.

Pears is so unconvincing and, IMO, was at fault with both goals against Hull.  Kaminski would have saved the first whilst Pears' indecision and poor judgement left him in 'no man's land' for the second.

It's a no brainer.

2-0 loss

[XLM]

Pickering being suspended is a bit of a concern, but seems we've got 3 strikers who will be useful even if none are the silver bullet option.

It's not a big leap to say we could be here with 4 wins from 4 so far this season if Szmodics and Pickering hadn't cost us early on. And regardless of the final result against Hull, it was a hell of a performance for 80 minutes with 10 men.

Hopefully the past 2 games have at least shown that the days of us rolling over every other weekend are behind us.

Don't get anyone sent off and score any penalties we are awarded, and I fancy us to win. 2-0

Starting striker with a brace (no idea who it will be... Probably Gally... So we won't get a pen because I'm not sure how we can get one, not miss it and Gally score both a 2-0 win, that just doesn't seem possible).

Tomorrow, 25/Aug.

Keep 11 on the pitch and we can grind out a point but we simply mustn't be caught out early faffing around at the back and give one away.

Hornets   2      Rovers   1
