Assuming no injured players are returned to the starting XI
Bentley
Holldack Dean Mepham Egan Elder
Nico Woods
Sawyers Macleod
Hogan
It's a woefully poor back line but very little to play with until YB, AB and MC are back....
We have so little steal in the middle that we'll need Nico's tenacity in there. Have to hope there's enough tackling in Sawyers and Macleod to help out the holding players too, Ipswich are no mugs.
Struggling for width going forward atm so wing-backs is the only answer IMO. The third centre half will hopefully also help make up for the lack of steal in the middle. It is a tough ask for Holldack to play the whole match after 120 mins on Tuesday, so I would bring Clarke on in the second half.
Going forward, because the width is coming from the wing-backs it means we can use 2 from KK/Sawyers/Macleod. For me Macleod has to start - so it's out of KK and Sawyers. Sawyers edges it for me in a home game as he'll help us dictate play a bit more, KK is better for playing on the break and picking out a pass.
It's a weak team and it's not one we'll play but it would be my team. We're weak at the moment and we desperately need injured players back.
