Grant, Edwards or Randell v Ipswich?

[Cobi Budge]

Sorry I disagree about Carey, he's one of the most hardworking flair players I've in a Green shirt, especially at tracking back and chasing down.

I wasn’t criticising Carey, I was a huge Carey fan, I’m just defending Danny against this whole he doesn’t do enough for the team view. He’d walk into almost every starting eleven in this league and perhaps even some in the league above, so the fact we’ve been playing so well without him lately is testament to how well we’re doing.

Danny Mayor and Graham Carey have similar defensive frailties.

Yes, they can track back, and yes, they can follow their man, but they cannot tackle consistently. The number of times that Carey gave away free kicks in awful positions is the same way that Danny does the same.

They are forward looking players, not defensive tacklers and are liable to give away too many free kicks in vulnerable positions.

If we have identified this, then opposition managers will have done their homework too.

I’d put my house on Edwards. This was originally his position before wingback and we have good replacement options in Edwards wingback position …

I like Randell but this is one he'll of match to throw him in how about Gillesphey can get stuck in and can pick a pass

Edwards or Grant would be the least likely to drop a clanger, Grant would be more missed than Edwards if moved from current positions as I think Garrick offers more going forwards. We'd just be a bit more reliant on Wilson to cover....

If we play 3-1-4-2 it’ll be Randell

I’ll happily take a bath in the sundial if it’s not

I think Gillesphey would be an awful choice. Yes he has a good ping on him and can pick diagonals and channel balls, but in tight spaces he looks uncomfortable. I think he’d get slaughtered in there.

It’s interesting to see all the different views on this. Some certain it’ll be Edwards, some Randell and some Grant.

But it will be Broom.

Surely if it’s one hell of a match to throw an inexperienced midfielder into to play in midfield it’s (at least) several hells of a match to throw in a central defender who’s probably never played in midfield before into…

FWIW I can see why people are wondering whether Gillesphey could play as a defensive midfielder and I’ve wondered the same myself. But let’s not do the experiment today eh?

Would love to see Randell but I don’t think Lowe trusts him - and what do any of us really know about whether he’s up to a match like this.
Think it’ll be Edwards and Garrick at RwB. We’ll find out very soon.

I am sure RL will pick the best player to fill the mega void that is Jordan Houghton-he will not want to upset the balance of the team in a game that he will want 3pts or if not 1pt come the final whistle

This game will be a marker as to how well we will cope without Jordan if he ever had a substantial injury lay off

Randell starts

Someone who doesn't understand the game!

Well Balham!
Seems the manager has the same sentiments! Was your post about someone understanding the game about me? Or the manager? In my Grey Funnel days, it would’ve been called a “Suck back” or a “Wind your neck in” day….

Has BG paid up on his bet yet? 😂
