What's the answer while Grealish is out?

[Matt Collins]

It can't be a coincidence that we don't look as good since grealish got injured.

Do we stick with the current approach on the basis we're still scoring, it allows hourihane to get fwd and it at least involves proven players playing in something like their correct positions?

Or is having whelan and hourihane just too stodgy? Are these seemingly easier fixtures an opportunity to put more attacking players in?

El Ghazi behind the striker. AA and YB on the wings. COH is injured. 433 only if no other option

[Matt Collins]

I forgot about lansbury

But then he's never fit so would be unwise to bank on him

[Richard]

BB Conor SJM alternate the 4 wide players either side of Tammy depending on the opposition

[eamonn]

Please.stop abbreviating. We all have sore Christmas heads and it's too hard to think. Like, who is COH?  Conor O'Hourihane?  That's just racist, man.

Oh, you meant the fella.from the airport, fair enough.

[berneboy]

New player in.

[Exeter 77]

O'Hare is apparently injured according to Dean Smith so isn't an option for a while.

I can’t be arsed to type out all the names just as you can’t be arsed to work out who I’m talking about

A winter break

[Villafirst]

Buy Bradley Dack or Jarrod Bowen. We can't afford to wait

I just can’t be arsed in general

[Risso]

All of the wingers look far less effective since Jack has been out. It's his ability to ghost past a man, and play a slide rule pass that makes most teams double up on him, leaving more space for the wide men.  Hourihane can be dangerous in his own way, but he just doesn't hurt teams in the same way when he has possession of the ball.

[Des Little]

Romaine Sawyers. Fixed

We frown on the use of txt spk so in the same manner it's only polite to use recognisable names when asked.

Apropos nothing at all, but who was that girl many years ago who refused to stop using text speak, because she was like, a strong independent woman.
