Just hope he doesn’t play Dallas there instead....

Would play Edmondson up top with Roofe just off him. Shackleton in a middle 4 with Pablo Forshaw and Phillips.

Casilla

Ayling--Jansson--Cooper--Dallas

Phillips

Hernandez--Forshaw--Shackleton

Roofe

Edmondson

Casilla
Ayling Jansson Cooper Beradi
Phillips

Roofe

Shackleton, Edmondson and Clarke on subs bench

Roofe should ONLY play up top, none of this withdrawn or wide rubbish.

He isn't naturally adaptable to the standard we need, up front by himself is when we have had the best out of him / the team.

There is NO need to move him anywhere, if we aren't playing him as a striker we should sell him.

Bielsa won't experiment, I suspect he will try to gain some momentum going into playoffs

Berardi should be the LB

Playing Dallas there in playoffs won't end well

Is there any reason for the next 2 games that we shouldn’t try Davis?

Kiko

Bera
Coops
Pontus
Ayling

Phillips

Klich
Forshaw
Shackleton

Pablo
Harrison

Roofe

Clarke needs game time too desperately, needs a shot of confidence and should play a part next two games.

Why do you have 12 players in your team?

Because if 11 can’t beat 10, maybe 12 can?😁

Just maybe

I would start Dallas there for next few games.

I would rest Pablo and Pontus till the playoffs and play Roofe as no.9. reinstate KP and I hope Bielsa gives Shackleton a chance and I would drop Klich and Bamford

I know we all think the inevitable, but who knows, we may be thrown a lifeline by Ipswich if they can somehow pull out a draw...that will surely change mindset going into the Villa game - I know you think I’m on crack, but anyone thinking Wigan would get a result at 1-0 down and a man down after 15 mins would have been met with the same guffaws? I’m clutching at straws here, but now pressure is on Sheff U now....

Alioski being out of the team is possibly the best news I've had in the last 24 hours. He had his moments, but I think hes become very wasteful and the time away will do him good.

No doubt there will be periods of play where we miss him. This gives the others the chance to step up and show what wearing the shirt means to them.

I'd also bench bamford. The past several games have shown he is not quite a top rate finisher. He had missed way too many sitters that could have meant we are promoted already. I'd rather put roofe or workhorse Roberts up front.

Personally I'd play berardi at left back but would put Dallas in front of him as out of our options on the left I feel that gives us the best balance

For the last tow games I would be tempted to start Roofe and Clarke.

And pray that given game time they find form in time for the play offs.

Clarke might be the biggest loss we have had this season as he is the only player we have of his type

We must give Edmundson and Shackleton a run in the next couple of games. We need to freshen up in midfield and we need a striker who can find the net.

We can't play any worse without Alioski. He goes awol up field and leaves the others to clear up his mess. When he crosses he hasn't a clue who he's crossing to and to top it all off, he insists on shooting from outside the area when he couldn't hit a barn door from five yards. He gives his all, there's no doubt about that, but he has become a liability. But then so have half the team...
