Team vs Burton

Assuming Baldock and Stephens are both fit.

---------------------- Stockdale ---------------------
Bruno ------- Dunk ------ Duffy ------ Pocognolli
Knockeart ---- Kayal -- Stephens ------ March
--------------- Baldock -------- Hemed -------------

Hemed deserves a start ahead of Murray IMO and fancy CH to restore the Kayal and Stephens partnership.

Potentially a very strong bench also with good striking options for the first time in ages!!

Rosenior in there some how would finish it :lol:

Excellent and fingers crossed both Baldock and Stephens are fit.

I'd go with this. Sidwell was one of our better players yesterday and I'm not convinced Stephens should just walk back into the team at the moment.

So long as Murray & Norwood are on the bench i don't really care who starts.

Has everyone suddenly forgotten Murray's scoring record at the Amex?

That's a pretty big assumption.

Hemed has earned a first team, if that's what CH decides.
Murray has gone off the boil a bit, which is natural, he'll come back, so won't hurt him to come on a sub, giving SB or CA the other birth up front.
About the team, not the individual :bowdown:

Agree Sidwell should keep his place but take Stephens out of the side and the midfield, and actually the whole team, just doesn't function as well. For me if he's fit, Stephens plays.

Not at all. But the team needs to be picked on form IMO and Hemed is 3 in 3, not sure what more he can do to justify a start. Murrays worked tirelessly and maybe a rest will do him the world of good with the Ipswich game to follow on the Tuesday. Baldock and Hemed Saturday before the fresh legs of Murray and Akpom on Tuesday gives us great options.

Any 2 of Kayal, Stephens and Sidwell will be fine. IF Kayal is actually fit. He didn't look it at Huddersfield.

All that said, Burton at home, is the kind of game that Norwood is very useful in - games where we have the bulk of possession.

I'd go with this. The key issues concern the central front four: the fitness of the two you mention; Kayal over Sidwell (or even Norwood, who CH rates far higher than the collective wisdom of NSC)?; and whether CH agrees with you about Hemed and Murray.

Really? I'm totally convinced he should walk straight back into the team. He is one of the first names on the team sheet along with Stockdale, Knockaert and Dunk.

100% correct. If Stephens is fit he has to play. You would have to have a screw loose to think otherwise

No flounce or hissy fit here, just my honest opinion, we've now got a choice of strikers, when all fit, so let's utilise them for their strengths :thumbsup:

Add Duffy to that.
