    The one thing that Bowyer can't allow to happen is that we use Taylor as a reason for turning relegation into a self fulfilling prophecy.

    When we drew against West Brom (one of if not the best side in the Championship) our starting X1 wasn't just missing Taylor - we had no Williams, Pearce, Page, Hemed, Bonne, JFC, Morgan, McGeady, Cullen, Field, Oztumer, Purringon and Aneke.

    Wouldn't be devastated if we lined up like this against Hull:

    Phillips 
    Matthews | Lockyer | Sarr | Purrington
    Field
    Cullen | Williams
    Oztumer
    Green | Bonne

    Subs: Amos, Pearce, Oshilaja, Doughty, Aneke, Hemed, Davison, McGeady, Pratley

    With Doughty, Aneke, Hemed, Mcgeady and pratley as options off the bench that isnt too bad. Still a way off where we need to be i think sadly.

    I can understand it to an extent, TBH with regards Solly he's not been near the bench for a while has he so he was unlikely to be in or around the squad on a match day with everyone fighting fit.


    With 2 games a week for 5 weeks, no way will Matthews play every game

    If that squad is as fit and ready as possible, BRING IT ON. One player does not make a team and in Bonne and Green we have goals. plus whatever Heker can chip in. I was more worried if Sarr and Matthews were 2 of the 3, as we will need to be as tight at the back as possible.

    Hemed, not Heker which is an autocorrect of a business associate.

    McGeady shouldn't be anywhere near the starting XI.

    Sarr was on fire before his injury and starts alongside Lockyer for sure. Pearce too if we want to play a back 5 (which to my recollection was working better at times than the 4, at least in an attacking sense - provided that Doughty can get going. That said I like the idea of 4 at the back if it means Field, Cullen, Williams AND an attacking mid - maybe Aneke, maybe Oztumer, maybe Green, certainly not that aforementioned McGeady)

    Oztumer had some good games but Bowyer seemed to very visibly give up on him right towards the end - he even scapegoated him for one poor showing I think. I don't believe we'll see much more of him this season. Could be wrong though.

    The unanswerable question is trying to factor in the inevitable varying levels of fitness of individual club squad. I would imagine that some are going to be significantly different from others and might skew the results from the expected pre COVID period. We’ve got it all to play for and our previous disastrous form might not be much of a consideration. I’m guessing that many squads will be virtually at late pre season levels of fitness.

    Source on that? They can have nine in the Bundesliga but that was the case pre-lockdown.

    Phillips 
    Pratley, Lockyer, Sarr
    Matthews, Cullen, Field, Doughty 
    Green, Williams
    Bonne

    Amos, Pearce, Oshilaja, Lapslie, Oztumer, Davidson, Hemed.

    Plenty of battle and endeavour there but won’t be enough IMO.

    Massive advantage for the bigger clubs. Look at what a bench of nine looks like for Fulham or West Brom compared to Barnsley, Luton or Charlton.

    It'll probably help us as well though

    The ability to have two extra changes will hopefully mean less chance of injury

    You’re right but it helps clubs with a much stronger squads more.

    During the weekend’s discussions it was further agreed to consider changing Regulations to permit the use of five substitutes in the remaining fixtures and, also increasing the matchday squad from 18 to 20 players. Discussions will continue with Championship clubs in this respect.

    Wow hadn't seen this... That'll make games feel completely different. You could almost play a completely attacking side one half then an all out defensive side second half. 

    Some may say an unfair advantage over the previous 37 games

    Weird, talk about integrity of the game and rules not being changed.. yet then allow 5 subs. Surely that will cause issues if a team loses out on goal difference due to a team in a higher position hammering bottom teams.

    Not sure if it’ll be the same over here but in Germany they have added rules around substitutes too.
    Such as, you can only make subs 3 times in a game. So you cannot make 5 single subs meaning 5 stoppages in play. You’d have to make a couple of double substitutions.
