What changes would you make for Wednesday?

[Donegal Hibby]

I'd like to see him change the 442 though that's more than likely not going to happen .
Surely he'll change the midfield? . Is there any other changes you'd make ? . Will Boyle , Miller and Rocky be available?.

Assume Miller and Boyle will be available not Rocky though as his team still in tournament. Boro brought on a guy yesterday Silvera who was in Oz squad. Maybe play three at the back as Celtic good at playing through teams centrally

This is a bit mental but the teams pish atm. I'd put Lewis in midfield just for his tackling ability. Newell can play left mid/LWB.

[Lee Marvin]

Remove Monty and Kensall

[hibsforeurope]

We have to get an extra body in the centre of the park somehow. If that’s 3-5-2, 4-5-1, whatever but we can’t be outnumbered again. Especially with the quality Celtic have in their team.

Newell isn’t nearly athletic enough to play there

Based on who is available and decent fitness levels, this is probably the strongest team available to make us hard to beat

[McGruber]

Got to have qn extra body in the middle. I'd go with Amos, Newell and Moriah-Welsh as the 3. Wouldn't have Jair playing. Would start there

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Said on a different thread but he cant play more than one of Marcondes, newell or levitt. All three are good players in their onw right but not quick, energetic or athletic enough.

I am not sure this problem has been addressed but it would have to be Amos, Welsh and Marcondes for me. With guys that are willing to stop crosses out wide.

Don't care about the defence as i dont think that is the problem.

3 at the back would allow us to have a strong midfield too . If Cadden could play you could have him right midfield with Boyle up top though maybe abit to soon for him yet to be starting.

[LunasBoots]

Hoping Miller and Boyle are back and ready to start, a real miss for us for quite some time, i'd also drop Levitt for Amos. Jair ive never seen perform great in the bigger games so i'd drop him also, Hopefully we turn up on Wednesday but cant say im hopeful, Celtics GD and our GD tell a telling story.

Yeh Amos and Welsh have permanent contracts so makes sense to get them up to speed, so it's between Newell and marcondes for the other place, with vente and Alf up front, hopefully boyle out wide, but who knows what team will be picked.....

[Since452]

Levitt, Nectar, Jair in the stand. Whittaker on the bench. We might have a fighting chance then.

Hence Obita. I just want someone who will do a basic job in covering runners. Joe can do that. It's far from perfect I agree.

[GreenPJ]

Having 5 in midfield I think is a must - in terms of who am not really sure (I thought Amos would have had a few more mins by now) but I know who should not be starting is Youan, Tavares and Whittaker. Youan and Tavares are not geared to the roles they have been asked to play and Tavares performances in particular have regressed. Youan makes numerous wrong choices but at least he has or has looked for the ball to make mistakes, Tavares is not even doing that, would love to know how many times he actually touched the ball on Saturday. Whittaker is just not ready and think we are in danger of setting him back. Megwa is still not fully ready but is significantly ahead of Whittaker at this moment in time - don't understand why Whittaker was started on Saturday.

We need to do our very best to shore it up out wide, blindly going on like this leaving our fullbacks so exposed is a recipe for complete disaster.

Problem is if Amos is athletic and a runner. Looks like Welsh is.

We also need to get guys out wide that will stop crosses.

rb of Miller and Cadden at rw would do that.

Slight issue at lw but Obita is one of our best defenders so should not be a problem.

I really hope NM is puzzling out these things and does not assume Levitt can play on Wednesday.

He has a problem as well on wed because if we are chasing shadows on Wed, we will be shattered on Saturday. And that is arguably far more important.

The most they had expected of Cadden on Saturday was 15 minutes so I can’t see him starting on Wednesday.

Correct. If he was fully fit I'd maybe even be tempted to put Chris Cadden in Boyle's position and have MB occupying one of the 2 forward roles. It would be pretty negative but needs must.

[Hibiza]

The manager and coaches.

[Bushwoof]

The team that finished on Saturday wouldn't be too far off the mark, with the exception of Hanlon (if he's well) in for either Fish or Nectarine, Miller in at RB, and Boyle for the young Spanish lad. Nectarios had a very mixed debut, but could be fine with an experienced CH next to him, and likewise as his RB. Fish has been found wanting all season and doesn't really deserve a place, so:

Marshall
Miller Nectar Hanlon Obita
Boyle Newell Moriah-welsh
Vente Emiliano
ALF

Looking at that gives me the fear though!
