TODAY'S TEAM NEWS Etete starts with Kaba No Wickham

Four changes:


Sabri Lamouchi has decided to shuffle his pack for this one, which is perhaps unsurprising given the standard of performance against Sunderland.

Romeo, Wickham, Sawyers and Ojo all drop to the bench, with Etete, Ralls, Simpson and Kipre all coming in.

Not entirely sure on the shape, but suspect it will be three at the back with Simpson and Philogene playing the wing-back roles.

That midfield has much more dog in it and thats what was missing against Sunderland imo.

Surprised Whyte not being given a run out to see if he can bring a different dimension to proceedings. I know a relegation fight isn't the time for experimenting but when you have very little to lose and perhaps alot to gain it might of been worth a go, gotta be a better option than Simpson who hasn't really shown anything other than being error prone

Cheers Roger,

I’ve heard Lamouchi not happy with Wickham at home to Sunderland.

I'd be more confident with Ralls or O'Dowda at LWB than Simpson. But there's plenty of scope in that team. I think there will be a surprise.

Hopefully keep it tight then bring O'Dowda on for a bit more up the pitch. Bluebirds.

I hope Simpson isn't wingback. McGuiness had to cover for him lots of times against Sunderland.
I hate the wingback system, a flat back 4 is much more solid.

Exactly. Much prefer the flat back 4. We always seem to have our 3 CBs Vs 1 of their attackers. Leaves us massively short in midfield and more importantly up the pitch especially out wide.

Cheers Roger,

I’ve heard Lamouchi not happy with Wickham at home to Sunderland.

Annis he is very unhappy with him, wickham is very lucky to be even on the bench!

O'Dowda only fit enough for the bench, it seems.

Roger, that’s exactly what I heard.
