Predicted lineup v Burton (A)
I assume Olowu will be out if he did have concussion, so wonder if Richie's going to persist with back 5 or switch back to a 4.

Re: Predicted lineup v Burton (A)
Agree with it all but I think Theo has been hard done by and think he should be on the bench. Was excellent after a year and a half out this time last year, clearly has ability and proven under Richie. Hasn’t been great this year but he hasn’t been terrible. Played out of position either up top or at left back. Maybe it’s the sentimental bias but he should be on the bench

Re: Predicted lineup v Burton (A)
Wednesday to Saturday is a painfully short turnaround.
Scarlett won’t be able to start again, several others will also be doubtful - Alan, Forrester for starters.
I’d go back to a 4-2-3-1:
Stevens Gilchrist Forrester Morris
Iddy Gilbert
Akhamrich Dobra Springett
Kabia
Chinedu on for Forrester when required after 60 mins or so. Hayden to come on at the same time.

Love Theo but he has been absolutely pi55 poor whenever he’s come on this season.DelightInE10 wrote: Thu Oct 22, 2026 11:28 pm Agree with it all but I think Theo has been hard done by and think he should be on the bench.

Maybe needs to go in the Jan window or be loaned out to L2/NL

Same amount of sleeps for recovery, but it’s less hours.Red_Army wrote: Fri Oct 23, 2026 9:26 am Wednesday-Saturday is the same amount of days as Saturday-Tuesday, which the players do on a regular basis.
It’s also off the back of a game the Saturday before. All the players I’ve listed obviously have to be monitored closely given where they’re at and their histories.

Re: Predicted lineup v Burton (A)
Playing non league standard footballers at wing back also limits our attack.

Re: Predicted lineup v Burton (A)
Cannot believe Wellens is starting.
Are we playing 5-3-2 with Wellens at RWB or 4-4-2 (or 4-1-2-1-2)?

Re: Predicted lineup v Burton (A)
Wellens at rwb makes some sense but surely Chinedu is better then Stevens at CB who’s better at rwb than Wellens. The fact he’s starting with that bench is mental regardless

Re: Predicted lineup v Burton (A)
Oh please, let's get away from this nonesense; Our No.25 playing anything above National League South is embarrassing. And his commitment, let alone ability, wouldn't get him there.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: Sat Oct 24, 2026 2:43 pm Wellens at rwb makes some sense but surely Chinedu is better then Stevens at CB who’s better at rwb than Wellens.

Re: Predicted lineup v Burton (A)
We are becoming a laughingstock now.
Junior has played over 40 league games for us now. Been ok in about 5 and completely useless in the rest. Richie would’ve boco’d any other player like that within 8 matches
