Who starts up front tonight?

[Yorkshire Blue]

We know that one of them is Tomlin, any idea on the other 3?

Lund has an injured hand which has swelled up into an embargo shape which might stop him extending his loan?

I'd imagine that Laird, Mkandawire and Eastwood were likely candidates as they are all just back from injury.

I' wouldn't be surprised to hear that Hurst was one of them as well.

We know that one of them is Tomlin, any idea on the other 3?

My guess would be Freddy, who looked totally knackered when he came off and has been 'flu-ridden, Laird, who has been out a while and may still be feeling the effects of his injury, and Reeves, who had his first 90 minutes for a while and, according to Luggy at least, struggles to play games in quick succession. I just hope Tam isn't one of them as he brought much-needed calmness and composure to the team. Ideally we want him in midfield, of course, but if Cresswell is struggling then maybe it's not worth risking him. I didn't go to the Wimbledon game but by all accounts he wasn't his usual domineering self and maybe that was because he was playing through the injury that kept him out on Saturday.

 

[Semi-Spanish Shrimper]

I noticed Clohessy limping a few minutes before they equalised. He seemed to run it off but let's hope he's OK.

I don't think Tomlin will be fit enough to start, possibly a cameo similar to Saturday. If at all possible, then it would be Freddy and Corr for me.

 

[onceknownasrab]

Permutations! If Corr is fit I would play him alongside Eastwood and let Britt play wide right. Not been done I know but Britt has pace and strength to get to the ball first if played into the channel and hopefully a good percentage of his crosses into the box can find our front two.

This gives us options later in the game. If Fred tires, move Britt alongside Corr and bring Tomlin on wide right. If Corr blows up then stick Harris on.

We are at home and it gives us three recognised strikers high up the pitch. We need to take the game to the enemy and have firepower. A negative line up is as useful as braces on speedo's.

We need to go for goals and outscore the opposition because as sure as eggs are eggs we are likely to concede at the moment.

This is no time to be gorging on cliches...at the end of the day.

 

[turkishm]

For me this team have to start getting there act together for Wembley. the league imo is a lost course, but we could still make a showing at the home of football,but the way we are playing, it will be 20,000 to 30,000 blues fans looking on getting our arse kicked by a team that has about 10,000 fans watching them.

 

[united we stand]

i dont care as long as we win -- and even winning may not be good enough, our goal average is not what is was and at present it looks like its going to go to the wire

 

[Jai]

This ****ing ridiculous injury situation is beyond a joke now. I've never known anything like it. Absurd.

For it to go to the wire it would need, for us, an extreme change in fortunes and a nearly unbeaten series of results. At present, it sadly looks as if we will finish a fair bit short of that wire. I would LOVE to believe otherwise but look at this year's results and harsh reality stares you in the face.

According to PS in his BP interview both Cresswell and Barker will struggle to make Wembley let alone play tonight.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

You could argue we have 4 strikers able to score 20 goals in a season.
