Team for Huddersfield?

Assuming we don't have anyone back from injury it will be more or less the same team.

One thing about Wilder's first two games that has frustrated me a little is that we don't currently have the players to play the system he wants. I know that's how he wants to play, and how we will play in the long term, but I think we could have been a bit more flexible with the formation and play to our strengths. We'll go with the same formation again though and I do think we need to freshen it up a bit this weekend, especially at the back...

...................Stojanovic

........Dijksteel...Bamba...Peltier
Hernandez...................................Taylor

.....McNair...Howson...Crooks...

.............Watmore...Sporar
I think he is doing the right thing by setting the system in place now. It might not work initially, but it gives the players chance to get used to the long term system. It also gives Wilder the chance to see which players fit the system or can be coached into the system and the players he needs to replace. Short term it is frustrating, but hopefully the longterm benefits out way that, both games we could of easily won so not too far away from working. That's my opinion anyway and probably the reason I'm crap at football manager 2021 😁

Bola has to start for me, I think we can play a lot closer to how he wants us to play. I've changed my mind already with how we should go about it. I think the problem is fatigue in our defensive players after 70 minutes. Start quick start bright, then shut up shop after 70 minutes by bringing Bamba, Peltier & Taylor on

You'd drop Bola?
 
Not sure if Payero or Dijksteel are ready to start?

Keeper, I've seen the other two this season and I don't think either screams 'obvious No1', so we may as well see the the third choice!

Howson isn't the answer at DCM for me, so if we have options to cover other positions I'd give Crooks a chance to make the position his own, I also wouldn't be against giving McNair or Dijksteel a couple of games there to see how they do.

Howson plays quite effectively as a right back or right wingback (IMHO) so I wouldn't be against him playing there, or again, maybe McNair. From what I've seen of Dijksteel he's not suited to wingback.

Bamba and Sporar need a rest, so I'd start Djiksteel and Payero if fit.
