Johnson should start for sure, not really sure why he hasn’t been really... not 100% after Covid, refusing a contract?. Like you suggest, I’d give Archer a go in goal, can’t be any worse!Archer
Dijksteel
Hall
Mcnair
Bola
Howson
Saville
Watmore (potentially Mendez-Laing if we can get 60 mins out of him)
Kebano
Johnson
Fletcher (depends how fit Fletch is but if not possible the I'd have to go for Chuba )
If Fry is available (some height for corners also)
............... Archer
Dijk.... Fry....... Hall..... Bola
........ Howson... Paddy
Kebano.... Watmore ... Johnson
.................... Fletch
without Fry
............... Archer
Dijk...... Hall... Paddy... Bola
......... Howson... Morsey
Kebano.... Watmore... Johnson
.................,,.. Fletch
If Tav was available, he’d replace Watmore in either side.
I go 3 at the back.. Always look more comfortable.
Dijk-Hall-McNair
Fisher-Morsy-Howson-Bola
Kebano-Akpom-Johnson
Watched Fletcher for the u23s last week and he looked really far away

Pulis is that you?
what's the other option?
-------------Betinelli-----------
Dijksteel--Hall--McNair--Bola
--Howson--Morsy--Saville----
Kebano---Watmore--Johnson
I don't think Fletcher is there yet.. and I can't see Britt getting near a start

I would say the front three hasn't been working and we always look like we're in trouble at the back without Fry.Don’t need the 3 in the middle playing it isn’t working at all. The teams listed above are decent enough. Your team is more likely but quite depressing

I don't think Saville has been THAT bad.Saville and Assombolonga must both be dropped:
a) Off the Transporter
b) Off at Dishforth with their bags
c) By a series of punches
d) For the rest of the season.
You decide.
