Team for Tuesday?

Sun Feb 09, 2025 8:56 pm

There would have been changes anyway, but can't see a lot of players starting this game because they played so many minutes at Stoke.

Horvath, Rinomhota, Fish, Bagan, Colwill, Willock and Salech all played 120 minutes.

Rinomhota has to start and maybe Fish because of Daland's injury but the others should be left out if possible.

Would go with something like:



Alnwick
Rinomhota Goutas Fish O'Dowda
Mannsverk Chambers
Ashford Robertson El Ghazi
Robinson


Not sure if Alves is ready to start yet which is why I've gone with El Ghazi.

My team also. Possibly Willock for EG, depends who recovers quickest after Saturday. Whoever it is I’d put Alves in on 60 mins.

It might be Ralls and Chambers in midfield but with Daland possibly injured I would go along with the rest of your selections

Bagan at left back with O’Dowda in front of him.

Like I said in my OP, I just can't see many of the players who played 120 minutes at Stoke starting this game.

We need to get the players rested Saturday back into the team for this game.

Need the strongest team out against Pompey, massive relegation 6 pointer in my humble opinion. :bluebird:

You can forget about O'Dowda on the wing, quite obvious he's seen as a LB now.

I'll be shocked if Bagan starts after playing 120 minutes a couple of days ago. If he does, he may be at CB again with Daland's injury and if Riza picks him ahead of Fish.

Worcester - you are probably right about O’Dowda. But still believe he’s not a left back and definitely our best wing back. I see what you mean about Bagan. Having said that he is a young man so he should be able to recover in time. Just my opinion

What a great idea. I hope Riza has thought of this. lol.

Just a bit of a laugh mate. You Need to lighted up.
It’s kind of obvious really isn’t to pick the strongest team.

Yep.
El Ghazi isn’t doing it enough for me, for him to be be in ahead of O’Dowda. Appreciate he wants to play back at his old club, but that’s romantic and not clinical. Same as we’ve unfortunately had with Rambo.
Bagan and O’Dowda for me, and the others in Worcester’s OP. Decent starting 11 then.

I think he'll go with this team as well but El Ghazi concerns me with his defending. Lost Koumas on Saturday who just goasted past him.

Bagan should be starting as well. Has been excellent and was solid again on Saturday

Based on the fact a lot played 120 minutes against stoke and how important this game is, I’d go with:

Alnwick

Rinomhota
Fish
Goutas
O Dowda

Mannsverk
Chambers

Ashford
Robertson
Willock

Robinson

Looks good mate. Maybe Ralls instead of Mannsverk.

Yeah to be fair, that team is probably more likely than mine. Willock hasn't really impressed me but does seem to get the nod quite often.

I think Mannsverk will probably start, not come to be second choice. Depends on his fitness after his first start at Stoke I guess.

Bagan starts, good news.

What do I know? :lol:
