Their predicted starting line-ups are usually pretty accurate to be fair.

Well if that's accurate, it doesn't really live up to the "bare bones" hype. Under the circumstances I'd be happy with that. Although I'm still wondering what's going on with Kieran Lee...

It does really. Who's on the bench if one of our back 3 gets injured?

MJ according to the pundits above

Cameron Jerome could do a job if we were really in the poo though.

Exactly. Bare bones.

Suspect nothing much.  

I'm a big fan.but he's 35 in June and this season has already played in more games than any season since 15/16.  Suspect it's just been a long season for him and he's run out of gas a bit, plus Dempsey. Morley and most recently Sheehan have been in good form. 

Still got a role to play.

He should have started on Monday. His movement is perfect for a deep lying defensive team like Cambridge.

Shoretire could learn so much from him.

Shoretire thinks he knows it all though.

I've no idea.

The loan might do him good then- grow up or fail time.

Lee has been excellent in his cameos this season, I said it Pre Xmas that he wouldn’t play on a regular basis and neither should he, quality at this level but Father Time prevents him playing more minutes.

And/or hope the opposition don't have a striker who can run faster than my mum.

 

Fuck me, the thought of a ball over the top of MJ and him having to turn like an artic lorry, dragging his false leg, is going to give me nightmares tonight.

😀  That made me laugh!  I think MJ is a great option for midfield with his reliable passing and interceptions, but I'm with you on the thought of him at centre back.  Its a poor do if IE can't organise a team to play 4-4-f*****2 when that suits the players available.

Morley spends most of his time back there do may as well leave him back there

Think with Kerchunga doing better and Mbete being injured potentially we may need a new scapegoat. 

Fuck me everyone's dogshit and we are fucked?!  In defence of some of the above......

Kieran Lee - best 'proper' footballer in squad by some distance. Makes everyone else better with the space he creates. 

MJ - decent cover to hold a point in midfield, would be comfortable with him middle of a back three in an emergency (which we are now in). 

Shoretire - real talent, luxury as most advanced midfield, happy with him as second striker though he's in a big queue. 

Morley - another proper footballer. If he's having to drop deep is there the right  movement ahead of him? 

Edited April 14, 20233 yr by RoadRunnerFan

We need at least one of Kachunga, MJ or Shoretire in the side or some fans are going to be struggling tomorrow 🤣

I blame all 3 of them. Booooo. Unless we win then they are worldies

Yup - that's exactly why I was asking about Lee - I'd have thought today's game would suit him.

As for Shoretire he's going to have to learn to play quicker and smarter - this league doesn't allow him the time on the ball he's used to and v Cambs he was caught time and time again. It was a mercy substitution in the end he was that out of his depth.

Shoretire was the same at Morecambe and offered nothing- he got pissed off when substituted. He does have talent though and can produce some magic but we need 90 minutes grafters to get us in these playoffs 

Right I’m putting feelers out for a daft mission. Not holding out for much but why not.

1. Any Wanderers driving to the game from Essex way? I’m near Sawbridge (had a mate’s wedding last night) and it’s nearly 3 hours via public transport.

2. Are there any tickets left for the away end.

Literally would be tempted to play MJ right in the middle of the back 3, we've seen in high possession teams like ours the middle man (usually Rico) is the one with most of the ball and sends those long balls down the channels.

MJ would be perfect for this but the downside are his potential defensive frailties.

Tbh though I can't see this being worse than Mbete, then this would allow Johno to play on that left side of the back 3 and link up with John which we know works very well.

 

Orrrr, if MJ would really get exposed that much, I'd play him in front of the back 3 

Edited April 15, 20233 yr by Lostock Whites

Well since I’m hoping we can take Evatt at his word that given the defensive frailties we’re suffering he’ll go more for goals it won’t matter who comes in for Mbete assuming he is actually injured. Like Cambridge, Oxford aren’t at the bottom because they’re good and since they haven’t won since January we should surely be seeing these off with what we have left. Sometimes against teams like this I feel we seem to go a bit over cautious instead of concentrating on how good we are. Wanderers 2 Oxford 0 today and onto Burton.
