Nice one Zlen.

Hopefully a win to get the stench of Luton out of our system. Doak is back so hoping he'll start tonight and the remaining Europa League and League Cup games.

Didn't notice Gordon has travelled. Can't imagine he's ready to go but this will be a huge boost for him. If we're cruising with 5 minutes left it would be great for him to get back on the pitch at this level.

This is the team i'd go for, depending how Diaz is.

Yeah, that'd be a solid team.

Yeah that's the side I'm expecting (with Chamber doing a 65/30 split with Tsimikas, possibly starting)

If we're through after tonight and he gets some minutes in the meantime for the unders it'd be good to see him play both of the last group games. Would be a nice show of confidence after 18 months of injury worries. Fairly sure he played on the right though, didn't he? Might be tricky getting him and Doak into the side but it'd be a nice luxury to be able to go with a young team against LASK/USG.

Best thing for Gordon over the next 18 months could be a loan move or two perhaps. Needs some first team football after all this time away.

Yeah they both play on the right, and you'd imagine Doak is ahead of him in the pecking order right now. But I'd like to see Doak on the left, he's pretty two-footed but still favours his right. Could see both on the pitch together in the near future.

Yeah, if there's little riding on the games I'd go Doak left and Gordon right just to get them both in, I don't think it'd stifle Doak too much. All goes well tonight we might see something similar in those last two games.

Will he even play now? I’m guessing the decision will be entirely his, and he’ll have been offered the chance to leave the group to be with his family

Can't imagine how loud the cumbia (music) will be in the dressing room about now!

disgraced cake · « **Reply #90 on:** November 9, 2023, 04:31:50 pm »

Diaz starting after that news is going to be a cheat code. Say a quick prayer for whoever's meant to be marking him tonight.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #91 on:** November 9, 2023, 04:31:52 pm »

Kelleher, Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Tsimikas, Mac, Endo, Elliott, Doak, Gakpo, Diaz

he'll just need to talk to his Dad. get-togethers can wait a couple of days I expect.

gordon on the bench! the kid must be buzzing.

think the interplay between our front four of doak, diaz, gakpo and elliot will be key. as long as we can keep the ball and play into some coherent rhythm. with so many changes, i guess it will be a rather disjointed performance.

Shit bench...

jokes aside, it kind of is with sunday in mind.. (not that it could be helped)

only got one senior mid option, and it's the guy who looked knackered in the last two games. great options for the forward positions though, hopefully they can put more of the hard yards in and allow for a smoother sailing lower intensity end to the game. would be nice if we can rest our full backs too

Jean Girard · « **Reply #110 on:** November 9, 2023, 04:50:23 pm »

Really nice to see Gordon back. What a horrible couple of years that kid's had.

Hopefully we're in a good mood after the good news. Up the reds

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #111 on:** November 9, 2023, 04:51:47 pm »

I know he doesn’t have the usual first teamers around him but will be fun to see Mac Allister in a more forward midfield role

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #112 on:** November 9, 2023, 04:52:38 pm »

Also if anyone could post the Toulouse team graphic so I can nick it for the Comms thread it would be greatly appreciated

Yeah, it's a nice balance, fingers crossed we put the game to bed early for once and have a bit more freedom in giving the youngsters game time.

Growing pains or Groin pains, one of the two.

Was thinking this myself, bet he's got a fair bit of pent up anger, anxiety and adrenaline he needs to get out.
