Flatters to deceive, for me

It depends what the alternative is.  White and Comley kept him out of the team for ages.  The bar is low, and Tutte does have a habit of making a tackle and passing to a player in white that is further up the field than him, so he was/is miles better.  That's not to say we couldn't get better than him (Lee?).

Unfortunately he’s as good as we’ve got. Spearing showed last week he’s miles better than him. So is Jason Lowe, 2 who didn’t get many plaudits with us

Delfouneso should be nowhere near the starting eleven. He’s lazy, doesn't tackle, regularly goes missing and hardly looks interested. You can’t rely on players like that so we need players who put in a shift and look like they want it. Arthur looks like he does so should start instead of Fonz. Greenidge is the only true replacement for Delaney so should partner Santos. He’s also good in the air at both ends. Tutte Lee Isgrove and Thomason in midfield with Jones at RB and John at LB if fit and if not the kid from Huddersfield to start. I’d also like to see Hickman given another chance if Jones isn’t doing it, he has pace and can get behind defenders and should do well with Isgrove.

I don't disagree, and if playing wide of a front three also think Arthur should start too.

However, I don't think Doyle as the no. 9 is working, hence Fonz, (or Miller?) as the target with Doyle sniffing around. Much like Madine and Le Fondre.

I'm not extolling the virtues of Fonz, just I think a change of shape may help us.

3 5 1 1

Baptiste/Brockbank.    Santos.    Greenidge

                     Lee. Tutte. Thomason

Isgrove/Jones                                   Jackson/John

                          Doyle

                                  Fonz/Miller

I think Arthur should prob start but IE commented on his poor defensive attributes so maybe not as a wingback if we play three at the back?

Sarcevic out for a month means we'll probably see more of Crawford.  Urgh.

My fear too.

I'm sure Tutte and Lee will play, though if the latter can't manage the full 90, then Jackson may go there (he is a midfielder after all), that of course, assumes John is available for left back.

Certainly would give Thomasson a go in Sarcevic' position.

So is Gilks it then, always assumed we'd be getting a keeper in Jan??                                               

Be another one in before Monday’s deadline.

Evatt said last night we’ll be getting more bodies in. I’m expecting a GK and a striker, potentially a surprise other one.
