Not the team I'd pick, but in theory I'm ok with the idea of playing Cullen in midfield as it should at least give us a presence on the pitch in that 'AM' role; The heat map might not be ice cold in that area as it has been so often.

I think a Stamenic + Galbraith + No 10 is how our midfield would be most effective. Cullen isn't the answer in the 10 role, but at least we're setting up in the right way, I think.

 

[Smurph]

Happier with us playing with a number ten by the looks of it. I'd rather someone else playing that role than Cullen.

Hope he proves me wrong.

Im not one to get upset based on the teamsheet but thats ugly.

Norwich might be in a false position but they are bottom.

This should have been the game to be more positive.

It just seems continuity of safety first.

 

[cmajack]

Right on the money. Do you also have the first goal scorer so I can get my bet on before kick off?

You can put a bet on that there will be a lot of pointing going on this afternoon.

 

[Blackpooljack]

If Widell isnt in the first batch of subs i'll be royally pissed off.

It’d be nice if we try to win the game instead of waiting to see what will happen in the game before stepping up

Absof*ckinglutely.

Damned harsh on Widell that, he was a cut above all the other players who played on Wednesday

 

[monmouth]

its going to b same old same old, isn't it? I've put pre-emptive wire mesh around my telly.

 

[Ringwood]

That line up is not screaming at me that we will see anything different. Hopefully proved wrong though

Like in the Blue Brothers

 

[tardylum]

They are trying to help Stamenic by getting somebody next to him who can pass. Cullen was always going to get the first chance to play as a 10 but at least out of desperation he now sees Widell as an option. He will come on early in the 2nd half if things are looking familiar.

Massive day for both sides. Other than Stacey, Darling, McLean and Sergeant I do not know what to expect from them. Their midfield looks weak.

Nah, 3-0 Swans

Didn't Cullen have that chance a few weeks ago and was utter dogshit?

Anyway he has the odd good moment in him, so fingers crossed.

 

[Cooperman]

Why oh why isn’t Widell starting?

If this ends up 0-1 with an xG of 0.27 there will be little chance of Sheehan turning this around.
