I wouldn’t be against any of the outfield changes but maybe a bit harsh on Smithies as he’s been excellent up til yesterday imo.

get rid of cunningham, ralls, bacuna and if there's better available in window, vaulks too - all a liability for what we need

let the kids play, rather we lose with a bit of effort than see same players making same mistakes all the time

The Governor is just saying his team for Wycombe tho mate.
I agree that dead wood needs to be shifted and unfortunately I’d include Mark Harris in that.

Makes total sense dropping probably the best goalkeeper in the league after one poor performance for a kid from league 1 who has never played a game for us.

Thomas I don't know if you noticed, but Smithies has been, letting in goals which in the past he would have saved and has been uncertain for a while, it seems he has lost confidence it is not just yesterday. you don't have to worry though, Harris is not going to change any of the team, certainly not what i suggested :laughing6:

what keeper would have a chance when he has Nelson and Bennett in front of him . They both have been a liability all season leaving Smithies wide open. Personally i think he has been player of the season so far and saved us multiple times.

The kid from league one was regarded as one of if not the best keepers in league one and was Charltons player of the season. It would not amaze me if he was not as good as Smithies or even better. Smithies has been not so good in the last few games Ai might be worth dropping one or two players to keep them on their toes.

Harris has practically played the same defence all season they must need a rest. I would bring in Benkovic for Nelson and Bagan for Bennett. Can't drop Morrison of course as in the absence of Moore he is our best forward player.

Or he could be another Joe Day

With a win against Wycombe we would only be a couple of points off the play offs. Putting in another league 1 or 2 signing is not the answer, we already have too many. Getting rid of the league 1 standard centre back in front of Smithies and replacing him with £13million Croatian international should be the first option

I’ve also been crying out for this mate but Harris doesn’t look like listening so far. I have a funny feeling that Nelson may go to right back v Wycombe with Bacuna moving into midfield. I hope to god if it does happen, Sol isn’t the one to slot in from the bench :banghead:

Ha! Was about to put my 'changed' team out and saw this and fully agree! :ayatollah:

Smithies maybe needs a rest, Bacuna needs to go bad to his natural position and Wilson needs to go back out where has done the most damage with some freedom to move inside to support Glatzel

I could support that, Andrew; Ralls not been great of late but had a rest following his sending off :thumbright:

No Glatzel! I like your thinking. I don't like criticising our players normally but we are too predictable with Glatzel at CF. While Moore is out I'd try Ojo or Murphy through the middle, or even both in a 5 3 2. Harris is sticking with the same players and same tactics and we've become easy to read. With Moore out we don't carry so much threat at set piece as it's only Mozza who carries any threat...mark him effectively and it's job done. However, Benkovic is a monster at set piece so I'd probably go for a back 5 with three in midfield and two speed merchants through the middle. But with Harris in charge we're unlikely to see that anytime soon. :thumbup:

Like most I’d like to see a few changes especially as Harris moans every week about mistakes and does nothing about it!
One thing I do know is that neither Vaulks or Ralls are a no10 though.

ive been critical of Glatzel but did think it worked when both he and Moore were on the park...but the last few games he hasnt offered anything...

We all know that Harris will pick the same players week in week out, we all got our own ideas but Harris wont budge.
