COYR!

Sels straight in?

But will have barely trained with the team, big risk.

Or one last chance for Turner?

Reyna also to make debut

Nuno says we're still waiting for his work permit, so we may not have the choice.

[JollyLolly]

Sels will play and Reyna on the bench!

[Sausage Roll]

Niakhate in contention to make the squad but Kouyate has been given more time off following the death of his father recently.

[JollyLolly]

The new CF that signed for Bournemouth yesterday looks a player, type that we should have been looking at, if he plays bet he scores against us!

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Unal looks decent but nothing earth shattering, just come back from ACL injury, think a few of us would have been somewhat sceptical had he come here.

[Sausage Roll]

Plus he also may not play as they haven't got his work permit through yet either.

[Mcforest]

I would be tempted to play Niakhate as DL this match. means keeping the CB pairing that is starting to grow and it means with the ball he can be part of a back three that allows Danilo the chance to drop in to collect the ball and/or Murillo to step forward. Also means Montiel or whoever the RB is can push up knowing we aren't leaving 2v2 situations as normal when both FB's push up.

Without ball
   

With ball

Good shout McForest I was also think changes at LB

[Trailer Park Tom]

I like the LB idea. We've seen this season that he can dribble with the ball and cross (a bit) and it will give us some extra height and experience against set pieces. I'm hoping Reyna wanting number 10 will unleash MGW beast mode he hasn't had any real competition since maybe Lingard for about 3 weeks in 2022.
