We have just had 2 hard games but the team is playing with commitment and as much more of a unit.
So would you leave as it is, saying that the players deserve to keep their shirts, or would you put a fit D Bent, Reidy and Luke straight back in?
Think you can argue the case for Darren going straight back in, because his strike rate is so good, but what about Reidy and Luke, because the team seems fairly balanced and organised as it is?
Really like Reidy, as he is creative and a threat, and Luke is solid defensively, but I would be a bit reluctant to change what we have at the moment.
Be great to have them back as options, at the very least, but what do you think, change or no change?

I would personally stick Reid on the bench, rushing him back in the past hasn't helped and I reckon he could have a good impact in the last 30 minutes, rather than playing well for 30 minutes and looking helplessly fat for the next 20!
As for Young, club captain, I think I would put him straight back in. Sankofa has done well but is by far our weakest link at the back and Young will add alot more confidence throughout the team.
As you say if Dazza is fit then no question of starting him and seeing him banging three past the hammers!!!
My team 442 formation:
Carson
Young
HH
El Kak
Hardman Ben
Romm
Holland
Song
Ambrose
M Bent
D Bent
Subs later in game:
ZZ for Holland/Song
Reid for Ambrose
Thomas for Romm late on.
Young
HH
Diawara
Thatcher
Romm
Zheng
Song
Holland
Ambrose
D Bent
Zheng did more then enough at OT, and seems to have a touch of class on the ball, especially as he doesn't give it away cheaply, which is going to be key in this game.
Young walks back in, Osei looks a good Championship player at best, and Darren walks in, no questions asked.
Marcus on the bench for a 4-4-2 if we need to.
Has to play for me, especially with the pace that Harewood and Zamora have
Holland/Song only because going two upfront after playing 451 for last 3 weeks will give us more solid in the middle. Like I say though I would like to see ZZ come on after about 55 minutes.
I would only put benty back in for sure
But, i think saying Sankofa is Championship at best is a tad harsh- thought he has done pretty well whatever has been asked of him and did well on Saturday
That said Young is an international defender and would have to come straight back in if fit enough.
Carson

As in other threads I don't know what our best back four is but think we should keep it similar to the past few games.
Ambrose did alright on Saturday
Realistically is Reid going to be fit?
he's had a set back with he's injury hasn;t he?? out for atleast another month, classic charlton style
Sankofa is more adventurous going forward, can take on AND beat an opponent. Gets the ball in the box when he can.
How match fit is Young?
Young should definitely come back in, if fit.
Obviously D Bent has to play as without him we really don't look like scoring.
dood, to be fair Bridge is a quality player! He would of made poor Luke look like a baby!
Kinveachy, I don't think Dennis helped Osei out much against Bridge so he was left exposed quite a lot.
i think apart from the mis-control on saturday he done ok.
he did take a knock on saturday and i apologise if he is injured and i haven't read about it.
Out for a month apparently:-(
Dan, I like that team. we've definitely got a chance with 14 against 11.......;-)
Reid is a tricky one, he needs matches to be really fit and I reckon we play him off the bench for the last 30 mins if we need him because starting him could be a bit risky.
