Somehow Akpom on the bench appeared before the justification mark sorry I have adjusted my original post.

Looks like Pokemon on the bench?
Swapped for Jigglypuff at half time
Probably this but don't think Tomori will be involved on the bench. Reckon both Sidwell and Norwood.

You could say the same for Murphy

Everyone seems very confident that Bruno is fit to start - have I missed something? (I very much hope I have!)

Bloody hope he doesn't start
Hasn't even deserved to be on the bench to be frank....
I think that's a bit unfair. He hasn't been any better or worse than Murphy of late, nor Bong & Baldock towards the beginning of the season. If he was making errors and costing us games then i might agree that he needs a rest. But that's simply not true, he is just out of form.
Houghton is a great man manager and has shown that he realises players can't refind some form when not playing, so he allows them to play their way back into form, and i believe it's the correct thing to do. If we were getting beat every week i might think differently.
A fit, confident and in-form Skalak is vital for our run in. Dropping him from the squad would do the complete opposite.

Think we might have two defenders on bench. Hunemeier? And I reckon Hemed and Murray to start.
I'd be happy to see Akpom start. Only because it would mean CH has seen enough of him already to know that he deserves to. Which in turn means he must be bloody good.
I'd guess that it'll be Murray/Hemed though with Akpom on the bench. Which still looks pretty good.

Did have Uwe on bench originally but felt bad that one of Sidwell/Norwood/March/Skalak wouldn't be in squad. Would've liked to put Towell on bench too.

I think the side depends so much on whether:
- Akpom is deemed good/fit enough to slot straight into the starting line-up.
- Baldock is fit to make the bench.
If we start with Murray and Hemed, I would start Skalak purely for his set piece delivery. I would also play Skalak on the right and Knockaert on the left, to try and get crosses into the box for Murray and Hemed to attack.
If we start with Akpom, I would probably start with Murphy instead of Skalak as I feel he brings more to the team from a defensive and counter attacking perspective.
Considering the injuries we currently have, it is a really strong squad. You'd need to probably leave out one or two of March/Murphy/Norwood/Sidwell from the 18 to accommodate.

With Bruno only just back from injury we're definitely going to have two defenders on the bench, although probably Goldson and Uwe

Hemed 100% deserves to start based on recent performances.
We'll see but Goldson covers multiple positions. If Bruno isn't fully fit he shouldn't start.
