TONIGHTS TEAM Salech and Robinson starts / NO

Tue Feb 25, 2025 6:45 pm

NO RAMSEY or ALVES



Six changes, including the very timely returns for Calum Chambers and Callum Robinson.

Chris Willock gets his chance on the wing, while Cian Ashford comes in on the other flank. Will Fish starts from the off, too, while Ethan Horvath replaces Jak Alnwick, who suffered an injury late on against Plymouth.

No Aaron Ramsey, whose game time is being managed, while Will Alves is also a notable absentee. Bagan fit enough for the bench after coming off injured at Home Park.

That's extremely attacking.

Good to see but a little worried about defensive protection.

Not confident defensively for me.
If Bagan is fit enough for the bench, he should have started.

Hope Alves and Ramsey are just being rested.

Apparently, Bagan has a niggle and they’re erring on the side of caution :ayatollah:

Clearly not fit enough to start or he would have.

I warned this about Ramsey, playing so long on Saturday meant he wasn't available for even 20 minutes tonight.

Said I would have preferred him to play 60 minutes on Saturday, 20 tonight and miss Villa.

O'Dowda captain! Like that.

Robbo & Salech - lets see how this works!

5 at the back again by the looks of it.

Draw wouldn't be awful, keeps us four points above the bottom three then.

But a win would be huge.

Your contracting yourself you even said the other day it had to be a win.

Ned,

I really like you but your already defending Riza and we should be going for a WIN and I be the will.

Not much wrong with that & everybody screaming out for attack from the off can't really complain but they will. Defense is a little worrying but I'm not sure who else we could have put in?

I disagree, I feel we have dropped too many points already and anything other than a win tonight against fellow strugglers will be a disaster. If we don't start getting wins soon then we will almost certainly go down

Team , on the whole, looks pretty good, and I expect a win. In fairness, I guess we had to play Horvath in goal but he worries me.
After his recent very lazy displays I don’t think Robinson should be in the team. And Im fed up playing “spot the Robinson tackle/ challenge” cos he never makes any! Pity Alves and Robinson are not playing.
:bluebird:
Nonetheless, we should have won fairly comfortably on Saturday, (except for the sending off, and Iwe should win tonight.
