Shows the apathy around the place that we've not had one of these threads for a while but with Browne suspended AN is going to have to change something...

I’d like this but no way does Neil give Gordon what’s effectively a free role, and go 2 up top. If only though it might keep him in a job.
 
Struggling to find a formation to fit Riis and Gordon into the side. Not sure how much I fancy just a flat 4-4-2, but I dont think moving Gordon centrally is a great move. Think he is a left winger through and through. I'll go incredibly rogue and say:

Iversen

Barkhuizen
Hunts
SVDB
Cunnigham

Sinclair
Molumby
Whiteman
Gordon

Evans
Riis
 
Since it's a must-win, I think he'll go for the tallest, tightest selection he can muster for the first hour:

Iversen

van den Berg
Huntington
Lindsay
Hughes

Whiteman
Johnson

Barkhuizen
Potts
Maguire

Evans
 
He has to go for it. Has to. No other option. Playing hardworkers ahead of attacking talent at home to Luton would be ludicrous.

Iversen

VDB
Lindsay
Huntington
Hughes

Whiteman
Molumby
DJ
Gordon

Sinclair

Evans
 
Alex's highly detailed opponent dossier last time led him to say to the press...

“I watched them against Cardiff and they started as a 4-3-3, changed to a 3-4-3, played a 3-5-2 against Coventry, so they are really quite flexible in how they play this season.

“They could start with any number of shapes and then fluctuate to any number of shapes within the game, so that is something we will be prepared for and we know what to expect.

“Nathan has evolved the team with his summer recruitment. He has recruited a number of players we were actually looking at ourselves and he has added layers in terms of formation changes, so they know how to fluctuate.

Their "fluctuating" ability undid us and we suffered a comprehensive 3-0 defeat, but "the pitch wasn't great so we would have to turn it, makes it a bit messy at times" - AN

If Gordon is deemed unsuitable to start vs teams like Wycombe, Cardiff, Boro I guess he won't be needed tomorrow either.

So, imagine the only changes will be Whiteman and Johnson for Browne and Gallagher. (I guess Maguire could be thrown for his running ability)

Iversen - Van den Berg - Storey - Lindsay - Hughes
Barkhuizen - Whiteman - Potts - Johnson - Sinclair - Evans

Keep it messy lads! And keep on running.

Interested in this formation? Whiteman Right Mid or Gordon in the centre?
 
Iversen
van den Berg, Storey, Lindsay, Cunningham
Ledson (if fit), Whiteman
Sinclair, Johnson, Gordon
Riis

If Ledson not fit then Molumby. If Cunningham not fit then not certain the honest but stolid Hughes is what we need so go for a five-man midfield of Barkhuizen, Ledson/Molumby, Johnson, Whiteman, Gordon with Sinclair and Riis upfront. Whatever the emphasis has to be on speed and creativity.
