So you're excusing a player for not working for the team because he's not in his favourite position?100% yes. Did you watch the few other games he has played in?

McGregorI don't see any thing other than this, unless Barišić is out. Then Aribo to left back and Kamara in to the midfield.
Tavernier Goldson Katić Barišić
Davis Jack Arfield
Hagi Kent
Kamberi
Your not starting Ojo, Barker, Jones, Defoe (not fit), Stewart, Halliday in a game of this magnitude.

I want a team who will work when we dont have the ball,which will likely be the case for a good part of the game on Wednesday.It is not about excusing the boy is not a winger. So you are saying he did not try? So you are saying you would play Kamara before Hagi because if you are then i am stunned at your lack of understanding of the game.
How can you even think about playing katic against a quality side like Braga.
The guys confidence has gone, he couldn't wait to get off the park on Sunday.
He was a nervous wreck the whole game, and there's no way he'll recover in time to play on Wednesday.He need's to be replaced, or he'll get ragged dolled by good players.Sorry to say.omo.
Yes he does but it's a shame that Goldson has to be in the team.Starting Katic, who was a total wreck yesterday, would be even more criminal.
He needs dropped for both the team and himself.
Ffs naw.Totally agree about liking pace, but Kent is so off form his pace is worthless as he keeps doing nothing with the ball.
Maybe he'll play Barker
You don’t start the inexperienced Edmundson either, I know a Katic has been very poor recently, but Edmundson has zero experience at this level.McGregorI don't see any thing other than this, unless Barišić is out. Then Aribo to left back and Kamara in to the midfield.

He will play Kent who was one of our better players on Sunday and he always goes for pace away from home.I wouldn't play Kent.
He isn't creating, he looks short on confidence and we need players who can protect possession and Aribo and Hagi are better at that.
Davis, Jack and Arfield central.
Hagi and Aribo further forward and drop back to make a solid 5 if under pressure.
Kamberi up top.

Hagi is no the best when we don't have the ball.
It makes no difference who he partners with Goldson they are all a bag of nerves beside him.You don’t start the inexperienced Edmundson either, I know a Katic has been very poor recently, but Edmundson has zero experience at this level.
They were the two the op left out of his team who I think will start mate,not a case of singling anyone out on my part.Mate you can’t just single out Kent and Davis?
Fwiw I think the game will suit Kent a lot better,he just needs to performHe will play Kent who was one of our better players on Sunday and he always goes for pace away from home.

Edmondson and Polster thrown in at the deep end without hardly kicking a ball??
This place is mental
Agree mate and he’s one of many badly out of form at the moment,it’s more of a collective failure in the league at present.Katic is at his best as a backs to wall defender, when the team is under pressure.
This is his sort of game.
His achilles heel is when there's space in behind him and his lack of pace is exposed.
He's a better option than Edmundson for me on Wednesday.

tricky not starting kent but aribo and hagi have looked bigger goal threats in recent times , if barasic isn’t fit then I’d probably go for halliday there as although aribo has been fine there he is not used to that position as much as halliday , unless Flanagan comes in from the cold!!!

This game should suit Katic and Kent more I hope.

That looks sensible to me. Also pretty flexible.5-4-1 defend like hell and hit them on the break.

apologies didn’t even check , no wonder he’s not in it thoughI don't think Flanagan is in our Euro squad.
They surely can’t do any worse than Katic, Kamara or Davis.Edmondson and Polster thrown in at the deep end without hardly kicking a ball??

Should have been aribo.
But aye big Dan is a decent player.
They surely can’t do any worse than Katic, Kamara or Davis.
I agree with this.They surely can’t do any worse than Katic, Kamara or Davis.
Davis instead of Polster and are bang on mateWill no doubt be some interesting selections in this thread based on recent performances. Assuming Barisic is fit, I’d go;
McGregor
Tav Goldson Edmunson Barisic
Arfield Jack Polster
Hagi Aribo
Kamberi
If Barisic doesn’t make it, then Aribo back to LB and Stewart in where he is in the team above.
Hmm, not sure I agree but I take your point. He still cost us the 2nd goal with his rash ‘I need to try and nick everything’ approach however and then done what he done on Sunday.Katic was our best player on the pitch out with Shagger on Weds until Hagi's 2 goals.

It probably will be Katic but I just don’t think it says anything at all for Edmunson if he can’t get game time now.
Kamara ? really. I dont think that would be fair on the guy after last week.My preferred line-up;
McGregor
Tav Goldson Katic Barisic (or Aribo)
Davis Jack Kamara
Arfield Kent
Kamberi
I like this (apart from kent - I'd play aribo) but agree we will play boring old 4-3-3 and get a thumping! sorry but I am worried about this game. I really hope SG has a think about his insanity of playing 4-3-3 again. he should be looking at the team that split braga apart and starting with them.I’d like us to play a 3-4-1-2 however we won’t we’ll play the same shitey 4-3-3 and get overrun

Best chance is to hit them on the break with through balls or balls over the top. The 3/5 at the back would hopefully nullify their dominance out wide and kill the space when switching flanks.
