Oh I understand that, and it was a reason. But we now have all of our midfielders back, a fully fit defence along with backups, forss back, azaz joined, crooks back, mcgree back for the next game, silvera and Greenwood available, coburn hopefully feeling better after our break. I don't think our injuries right now are particularly worse than anyone else in the league, after a really bad period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erimus74 5,340 5.5k Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 Good win for West Brom today as I thought Moggas team would have turned them over, they are a strange team Albion & could quite easily fall out of the playoff pack Ipswich down to 4th, Watford losing, does anyone want to cement that 6th place, teams falling over themselves not to hang in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverbefore 14,994 29.3k Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 Not sure it's been mentioned, but worth noting that again Carrick has name checked forss as a striker in his press conference. To be fair, he did play him there at the start of his reign and only moved him out when Jones had to be taken out of the firing line. And he's been injured for a lot of this season so maybe when Jones is back we'll actually see him used up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say yes, they must be gutted, at one time going head to head with Leicester & 8 IIRC point lead over the 3rd placed team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smogsterking the Inspirati 3,351 8.6k Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 I'm worried that Forss smile celebration may come back to haunt us at some point against Sunderland. Although I think we will get a result tomorrow. Best case scenario Sunderland go ahead and we win 2 or 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erimus74 5,340 5.5k Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 I like the look of Ayling, happy to see him come back in to the team Hopefully Greenwood is fired up, if nothing he has the speed & energy to unsettle their poor defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcar Rioja 9,018 8.8k Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 I just hope Carrick sets us up to win the game and get the three points rather than sticking to his principles of playing us into trouble from the back. If it works great but Beale will have them chasing us down and closing outlets off from the kick off, harrying us and trying to force nervous passes. The net effect of that is that they will be vulnerable to long clearances if we utilise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinoJo3 5,748 13.5k Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 With our injuries etc I’d be tempted to utilise where the squad is currently strongest, in midfield and defence. Go to the 352 we started with against Villa at home, put Thomas in on the left, midfield with 3 of either Hackney, O’Brien, Barlaser or Howson and Azaz or Greenwood attacking with Forrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
