Pre-Match Thread Rotherham v Southend United

[SUFCFANS]

So with Hall and Grant suspended for Saturday how will we shape up? Assuming Sawyer still injured we will be a bit short in the middle.. Will Moshni slot back into defence and push someone into mid-field?

Any ideas of good line up for Saturday??

 

[palexander]

JPK was on the verge of a return I believe for Saturday, so I'd hazard a guess at 433;

Morris
Sean
Barks
Phillips
Gilbert

Ferdinad
Timlin
JPK

Sturrock
Dicko
Harris

SUBS: Mosh, Bentley, JJ, Prosser, Crawford

 

[markw]

Morris

Clohessy Barker Phillips Gilbert

Leonard Ferdinand Timlin Sturrock

Dickinson Harris


SUBS: Mosh, Bentley, JJ, Prosser, Crawford

i would love to see that but i dont think it would happen

 

[Crawliano]

As much as I don't like saying this, why not try out JJ again? This is an opportunity to shine and show his worth. Or just prove he's just Louis Soares' cousin with a funny accent.

Luggy will play safe with a 3 man midfield. JPK Timlin and Kane. Sturrock JJ and Dicko the 3 up front. Keep Harris on the bench for now, hasnt done much so far. WOuld like to see Leonard as he has done well and couldnt understand why he got dropped, ditto Prosser.

Need to give JJ a chance to see what he can do for a full 90 in his favoured position.

 

[sufc_dave]

Although Harris hasn't played, it seems as if the team play so much better with him on the pitch.

With Hall out Luggy should give JJ a chance, he know he can play better and this can be his opportunity to impress.

I feel Kalala must play on Saturday, it's the kind of game we're gonna need him.

Morris
Clohessy - Philipps/Mohsni - Barker - Gilbert
Ferdinand - Kalala - Timlin
Sturrock/Leonard - Dickinson - Johnson/Sturrock

Subs: Bentley, Prosser, Sawyer?, Leonard, Johnson, Harris

Phillips looked like he had an injury in the second half of the Plymouth game so Mohsni straight in if that is the case. If he decides to play Leonard then I would like to see him on the right with Sturrock on the left and Dickinson up top. However if he decides to play Sturrcok on the right then I would like to see Johnson given another go on the left. I just feel it's still a bit too early for Harris who looked knackered after ten minutes after coming on.

I think Harris looked more effective against tiring defenders as well, so with him only just back from injury and Sturrock having owned Rotherham last season, I'd favour Blair up front with Dickinson on this occasion.

Not keen on Ferdinand, Timlin and Kalala as a midfield trio at all. I think they'd be tripping over each other if they play their natural game. Let's hope Sawyer is back.

Dunno, I think Timlin is best as a box to box, rather than holding. He showed this Saturday after he got moved off the wing. Getting forward, linking play and winning the pen. Close to mom for me.

Merrick James Lewis recalled from his loan spell. As cover for Rotherham? or straight into the starting line up ?

This is exactly what I'd go for but fear it's too adventurous for PS ;) if going with that I'd start Timlin and bring on Sawyer with 20-30 minutes remaining.

Sounds more like he's been brought back because he wasn't being played..

This also happens to be my tactics on FM :) good old 4-1-2-1-2 (wide diamond) with a short but quick-tempo passing game. Kalala as an anchorman and Timlin as an advanced playmaker.
