Put Luiz under the spotlight. That can happen. However Dean won't do that. Sit back, show respect and we'll lose.Which two, the two that we've needed to show some gumption but still can't muster a solitary goal between them to save our lives, those two? Davis played very well yesterday.

Our current two first-choice strikers are amongst the worst I think I have ever seen. Davis is destined never to score and Samatta is a shadow of his pre-lockdown self.
I’d say we’re the big worry. We need to win both games, which is a massive ask. If we don’t do that the other teams are totally irrelevant.
I would play Samatta off the shoulder of Davis. Not as a second striker necessarily. We don’t need a winger. Have Jack play around them with Targett, Elmo offering width.
