east-stand-nic Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 For all those who often say a draw is not a bad result, think on this. The reason Ipswich and Leicester are so far ahead is because they DON'T draw games like these previously. To finish top two u have to keep on banging out the wins against all the lower sides. If we want to be top 2 at the end of the season, these are games u have to win. Without knowing the line up it is always hard to predict, but RM has to want this one very badly. It has to be a win. I am hoping for something like 3-1. Get that GD up and up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca155 Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 Steady as she goes today. Hope for a win, take a draw. Leeds currently imploding against PNE, either Leicester or Ipswich will lose points. Could be a good day. Key will be Stuart Armstrongs fitness, he is so important. Hopefully 60 good minutes for him then Alcaraz replaces him. Should be an unchanged team except Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 Middle of a busy period isn’t the time to make an unenforced formation change. Especially when 4 at the back was working fine. My guess is he’s realised Manning ain’t good enough at left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 2-1 win, slightly fortunate. I think Swansea will look to frustrate, defend and counter us. Back five, will be interesting to see how we use the centre of the pitch, I imagine will play more direct with Manning and KWP getting down the flanks.

benjii Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 Stephens RB, KWP LB and Manning in midfield? Either way, it seems a bit weird to be farting around when we've got the likes of Alcaraz and Smallbone on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 When previous managers rotated the team or tweaked the line up did they get accused of trying to be "too clever" or was there another phrase for it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 Clearly Martin is recklessly shoehorning in a player, needlessly disrupting an unbeaten system unable to stop himself being too clever by half. Clearly Martin is making good use of the squad and its experience in a busy schedule with injuries and suspensions, while also tactically wrongfooting the oppostion, trusting his players and the work to get the result.
