something like that, except I would actually drop Varney, he is playing in fear of it anyway, it would do him good I think. Would find a place for Semedo.
Gray played well last night, pointless to drop him imho. And I have given up on Youga, Pards was no doubt referring to him when he said he wondered if certain players would ever find a consistent level of performance.
It baffles me as to why some people think Gray should start. I don't get a programme but just looked at the official site. His stats for us are 19 starts + 8 sub appearances and FIVE goals. Of which 2 were penalties i think. How does that warrant a starting place?!
P.s. There's a lot of talk about strikers need service and chances created which is true but only partly so.
A good striker at any level can also score from half-chances and create their own chances out of nothing. I can't see either Varney or Gray doing either of those two things whereas Dickson just might - he almost created something out of nothing with his first touch last night when he burst into the box.
I think a lot of us watching from the stands can see that. Why can't Pardew?

I'd play a compact 4 in midfield and for width, get the full backs involved. We just haven't go enough energy in the central midfield to play with two wingers in my view.
Weaver
Mouts Hudson Primus Basey
Sam Baily Holland Varney
Grey Dicko
personally don't wanna play holland like to give josh wright a run out but, maybe just give him a half
don't trust ambrose there, and ZiZi/Shelvey/racon arn't avaliable
But pards will pick;
Weaver
Mouts Hudson Primus Youga
Bouza Bailly Holland Sam
Todorov Varney

Shelvey in midfield as well please. Holland needs a rest.
As everybody keeps saying, Shelvey's not in the building ....!
Away on European tour with England U-17 squad
Re-call him, We need him now! Just ask all those fools who wanna see him burn out ;oP
In my honest opinion he deserves when playable at least a bench spot!

I can't understand what the problem is with Youga. How is it that he put in top performances for Stoke yet is so inconsistant for us?

I imagine Burnley are still a physical side and will come to close us down and make us resort to long balls.

His hold up play and distribution is good.
But he needs the ball passed and delivered to him, so where's the service?
His previous clubs played to his strength - and he scored goals.
Strikers are expected to convert 1 chance in 3. Few chances = few goals.
Moo2 at right-back. Basey at left-back.
Varney wide in place of either Bouazza or Ambrose

We all know it.
Personally I would definitely give Dickson a go and have McLeod instead of Todorov on the bench.
