It’s clear going forward it’s not working at the minute. It’s time to change a few things around. I think Fernandez needs to play if fit and give Brady a chance to create from a more central position.

Woodman

Storey Lindsay Cunningham

Browne McCann Whiteman Brady Fernandez

Riis Parrott

Subs: Cornell, Bauer, Potts, Ledson, Johnson, Woodburn, Evans

Don’t think Potts deserves dropping but I’d agree with the rest
 
I cannot under any circumstances see the manager playing Brady in midfield when he won't even drop those that he continues to play there and has multiple actual midfield replacements.
 
Woodman

Storey
Lindsay
Hughes

Potts
Brady ( harsh to drop him but would also like to see AF?

Whiteman
McCann
Woodburn

Riis
Parrot
 
Alvaro has been in the squad for the last two games and we’re told started training last week. Slightly surprised he wasn’t at least on the bench yesterday; either we’re being cautious (maybe Man U influenced) or there’s still an issue. Hope it’s the former.
 
You never know we may have made a signing by the time Wednesday arrives otherwise:

*barring injuries the goalkeeper and back three will be the same as yesterday.
*there is absolutely no point starting Evans - he simply cannot influence a match when he does so though he can be an effective sub for the final 20 minutes. I find it baffling that people even make the suggestion.
*we need two strikers upfront which, a possible signing excepted, has to mean Parrott and Riis upfront - there literally is no alternative.
*that leaves the five midfield places to be sorted and based on yesterday Potts, Whiteman and Brady probably deserve to keep their places.
*so assuming Ledson, a player I like, makes way for the extra striker what do we do about the other two midfield places. Personally I would start McCann at the expense of the out-of-form Johnson and give Browne a last chance to influence a match from the start otherwise Woodburn would come on to replace him.
*if Fernandez is fit then he should certainly return to the squad but he probably needs a start or two from the bench to get fully match sharp before we consider starting him.
*has Brady any experience of playing in central midfield?

Drop Browne for Potts in that line up
 
Woodman
Storey - Lindsay - Cunningham
Potts ----------------------------------- Fernandez
Whiteman - McCann
Browne - Parrott

That's what I'd do, doubt we'll see it though.
