Jury is very much out on Diaby for me. I'd like to see him being given plenty of game time before end of season.
I think he needs to prove he can play at rcb...I see little point in using 3 squad places on centre backs who can only play in the centre of a back 3.
 
Having watched highlights of their last win, three of their four goals came from crosses so it’s not really a match to be putting MaCann at wingback. Three giant centre backs so it’s got to be balls to feet or clever balls making them turn…..Afobe also looked a handful in the highlights too and Bauer will definitely be tested.
 
If Evans is fit he starts in place of Riis for me but have a feeling Maguire will get the nod I ain't a fan of his but tbf his link up play with Archer was great when he came on.
 
Think Evans or Maguire would have to play a similar role, neither of them is winning headers vs those centre halves, so if they're gonna hold the ball up, they'll have to come deeper to do it.

Think we'll see Maguire and Archer either way, Ched struggles to play 90 when fit, let alone straight off an injury, so if he is available, I expect it to be as an impact sub.

All about opinions, but not for me. If fit Riis plays, both him and Archer have a goal in them, play Evans and the only goal threat from open play is Archer.
If they mark Archer out of the game then our only goal threat is from set pieces.
Play Riis and they have 2 goal threats to worry about.
We haven't had a striker at this level who has scored as many goals as Riis in years - and yet some don't want to play him - bizarre!
Experiment elsewhere but try to get our leading scorer scoring as many goals as poss between now and the end of the Season.

Unfortunately you don’t recover from even a slight hamstring injury within a week.

I'm assuming Riis isn't fit tbh
