tinker Posted October 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2022 Start with Nakamba in front of a back 4, then Doug, Ramsey, McGinn, Beundia, Watkins. Can't afford to lose this one despite not having a manager, if we do then we have to be odds on for relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know what this usually means Fulham hadn't kept a clean sheet this season. Fulham hadn't won a Prem game by 3 goals in over 9 years.

OutByEaster? Posted October 23, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2022 Well, the rain has stopped and the forecast is for it to be mostly dry for the rest of the day. Journeys might be unpleasant, but at least we won't get soaked in the ground. I'm not at all confident for this one - we've got a skeleton staff and a demotivated team, a new system might help, but I don't see a bounce until there's a new permanent manager and a plan that the team (and the club) can get behind.

A new system would be good but Danks has had what, 24 hours? Making huge changes doesn’t sound wise. On the plus side, the fans should be supportive today.

VillaParkAvenue Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 McGinn and Ramsey are already dropped says Percy so no need to include them. I would have liked a setup with Ramsey in a more attacking role, but that won’t be today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flip side is that dropping players who are woefully out of form for players that will be keen to impress would be wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. My guess is every player will be keen to impress after the Gerrard experiment. Don’t believe there are many Gerrard loyalists in the squad.

Demitri_C Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Why would we make it public that mcginn a nd JJ would be dropped? This makes little sense to me might as well share the tactics then too on that basis Edited October 23, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Brentford a very direct side. We'll have to be up for a battle today. Mings crucial, but he needs help. If he loses headers, it can't be no one else recovers the ball. We could do with Emi going back in time and catching a load of crosses as well. The new fangled "high press" will be exposed if they just play long and pick up second balls. Wouldn't be worst thing if we copied them and just made sure we don't get opened up like a tin of beans. As usual, Watkins very important today as well. We need him to bring his running shoes with him and win us some ball that he has no right to. Finishing the odd chance would be welcome as well.
