A good chance of us being unchanged, depending on his thoughts on Watmore playing 2 in a week?
Although if Akpom is back may go 2 up front?

I'm not sure he will though, certainly not both. Crooks back in and McNair replacing Dijksteel would be possible but I don't think it'll happen
Has defence been that bad, the way we play we will give the opposition an opportunity to counter us and no matter who plays as the 3 will be under pressure!
If fry was playing, people would be asking for Lenihan to be inn, if we dont win its always a player that wasnt in the side who could of made the difference yet all players mentioned played last season and we fell short unfortunately.
Im not saying I dont agree with peoples opinions on team selection, I dont think we are playing bad, wednesday was a really good performance on the ball but gotta take chances and as wilder knows he should of brought on Fry and Smith and managed the win!

Cant see Mcgree not starting, also depends on Crooks and Akpom fitness have they trained, I dont think Akpom will be fit, I just think he didnt want to give too much away in the PC yesterday.
I expect pretty much the same as wednesday except, Forss for Watmore.
Keeper has to be stronger too, obviously good with his feet but has to be more thorough with his passing and confident coming for the ball, he wont get the protection from the refs he is looking for so has to go and take the ball and man if needs be!

I think the last bit is easy in hindsight though. Everyone has complained in the past about the opposite, bringing defenders on, inviting pressure and conceding.

This is what I’ve felt would happen for a while but with Crooks being out we didn’t have much other choice.
I don’t think Fry will start.

Surprised Crooks finds himself on the bench again. Not a Wilder signing mind, maybe he’s not that convinced?

I think it's McNairs place to lose, rather than anything about Crooks ability.

He was ill against Sheffield United, and still recovering on Wednesday, he might still be.
Certainly cant score belters all the time from there ... and quite frankly hasnt since that song was introduced

Not for me, Crooks can’t do the running across the final third that McGree was doing on Wednesday, he’d be knackered by half time.
