17' 1-0 Low left footed shot from Jack Payne 20 yards out is gathered by Turner. Leaburn's shot is then also saved by Turner with a follow up well blocked. #Gills
Why do we insist on playing a right footer at left back?
Not really fair on young Chin.
I think it's a case of he's just the best young fullback (not in the senior team) at the club at the moment. O'Connor playing on the right is usually a CB I believe. We played Ness at LB in the League Cup, and played him at RB when he came on against QPR. He's naturally a CB as well.
Clayden seems to be first choice LB at the moment with Egbo and Sess hurt. With this being Clayden's first run of senior starts, you don't want to risk burning him out by playing him in a meaningless competition. So I think it's Chin by default.
Harness O'Connor Barker Ness Chin .......Payne JFC Henry Kanu.......Leaburn......DJ
Not sure about that, DJs spent a lot of time in central areas
I think it’s a 4-2-2-2. Tuchel has used it at Chelsea a bit with 2 wider number 10s that can move central. Defensively we are more of a 4-4-2 then DJ and Payne have the freedom to move central when we have the ball
Kanu is such a raw player (not meant as criticism as he is still learning) - But do love how he just keeps popping up, he'll get a goal before too long
22' 1-0 Kanu snatches possession as Baggott and Wright go for the same ball. The striker drives towards the box but Wright puts in a good challenge.
Cross by Harris O'Connor is placed narrowly wide by Kanu.

I see what you all are saying about 4-4-2, but I'm sticking with my 4-3-3 shout. Think there's a lot of interchange between Leaburn and Kanu. But when we defend, DJ drops to the left, and one of Leaburn or Kanu pulls out to the right.

Out of possession and a box in it?
JFC and Henry deep
Payne and Jaiyesimi on the flanks
Leaburn and Kanu up top.
When Jaiyesimi comes inside (ooer) Chin fills in his flank.
Unbelievable from the Talksport commentator.
