I think it's the team that started on Saturday. Possible argument for the improving Foster over Barnes, and also for playing Cork, but suspect Barnes gets the nod for experience, and Cork hasn't played enough games recently.

“Useless left back” :lol: he’s been the best left back in the league by some distance.
Maatsen named in the EFl team of the season

Had a slight change of mind for tonight, got a feeling Obafemi is the man. Think we miss Tella's pace and movement in behind so Oba seems the closest to replacing that. Has scored in his last two South Wales derbies as well.

------------------Muric-----------------
Roberts--Al-Dakhil--Beyer--Maatsen
----------Cullen-----Brownhill--------
JBG------------Barnes---------Zaroury
---------------Obafemi-----------------

Same shape as at Norwich. Benson super sub.

Pace on the counter essential tonight, unlike the reverse fixture. They'll come at us...theyve no choice at all.

Foster and Obafemi both play in a 442 with license to drift wide. Cullen plays nearer the Alexander position, Brownhill pushes up in the middle.

Same back 5.

Zar, Barnes Jrod, Cork and Benson on bench.

I've said a few times now, Maatsen is very good going forward but not so good defending and gaps are left that need covering more and more, I do think he's a good player and yes, I know he's in the team of the season. However for me I think the opposition need to be considered as to whether he plays or not, he can always come on as a substitute, therefore for me Taylor should start.

I thought Foster had his best game and I believe he should start, while I thought THB was poor in the QPR game, I think he needs to start along with the same players/team for QPR, be interesting to see how it turns out. I think Cork should be considered and I'm saying this with the opposition in mind, same with Zaroury, who has certainly not been at his best for quite a few games, he needs to start taking on his man more for me but I think he should start, however more because I can't really think who would be better in that position.

Same starting line up apart from that useless left back maatsen. Get Charlie back. As woeful as basher is as a cf we'll need his experience and wind up antics. Hope tella is available to bring on. Need to tell the players we have a great left winger so give him the ball. The fans sing his name all the time. He can cross in a decent ball unlike the right winger that can only score great goals from his position.
Oh the disappointment of having a winger 'that can only score great goals.' :roll:

Muric
Roberts THB Beyer Mattsen
Cork
Cullen Brownhill
Benson Zaroury
Barnes

Possibly JBG in for either Benson or Zaroury. Let's play that midfield 3 though and dominate the ball.
