Those 3 should not be starting !
(1) Wildschut : should not be playing football @ Championship level. End of ! Not even on the bench.
(2) Madine : works very hard & puts himself about - but lacks quality and scoring ability. Part of me can't help but think that he is only getting game time to justify what we paid for him.
(3) Gunmarsson : is a leader , a warrior , committed to winning and works hard. Against Forest he was outstanding - but that is a 1 in 5 statistic.
The reality is he lacks quality & pace.
Realistically we MUST WIN our last 2 games because one would expect or at least reasonably assume that Fulham will win their last 2 games.
Our best midfield are Ralls + Grujic + Paterson. Our forward line Hoilett + Zohore + Mendez-Laing. Our defence picks itself.
That is what we are ! For better or for worse - that is it ! We can not afford to mess about & lose our future !!
We go with that and let the chips fall where they may.

Madine is lower league striker who scored a lot of pens and scrappy goals for Bolton. If you're investing that sort of money in a striker they need to be lower prem quality or top end Championship. Not a league 1 player on a purple patch. Look at who are rivals signed in Jan:
Wolves -Afobe
Fluham -Mitrović
Villa -Grabban
These 3 signings have scored 23 goals for our rivals and the sad truth of the matter is that they're all on loan & would cost less than our big signing.

The other point....defence picks itself. This does mean no Manga at right back....it's clear teams are targeting that area against us, the space he leaves behind is crazy. A so assuming Pelts/Jazz take RB depends who's fit.

As for the other two their contributions last night speak for themselves.

At least Pilks puts in some effort and gets in the oppositions face and is quite likely to pull a decent goal from nowhere. One mistake by Wildschutt doe not make him a bad player and there are others who have made bad mistakes, but they’ve got away with it. I wouldn’t start him but he’s worth a place on the bench but after last nights game, his confidence will be shot.
