Team for the rest of the season

[AlsoKeithCurlesToePoke]

Are we starting to see the effects of Gordon's coaching? Looked like a Corberan team last night, discipline held, ultra organised, and nothing going forward. We'd have absolutely crumbled under that pressure a few months back.

Last night was a night for defensive grit, hopefully he continues to demonstrate flexibility by rotating the squad when we need to try and win.

Gilchrist has been very good last 2 games and Imray has potential, which makes Campbell an option at CH. After his dalliance with MF, I think it’s clear that Styles is our only real option at LB, but provided he stays injury and suspension free, we should have a more stable back 4.
Looks like MnM in the middle and that is still our vulnerability, for what seems like the 10th year running, but the resurgence of Wallace and the Villa kid coming in does give us more options going forward.
Still a mountain to climb but there is at least hope, which is the one thing every football fan needs!

As Lurker says, we need to adapt to the opposition we're facing, we can't just pick the same XI as frankly our squad has too many gaps meaning we need to cover our deficiencies first. 

MnM in midfield HAS to change this summer, but right now both will be crucial in pulling us away from the drop zone - they make us solid and give us some control of matches, though not enough to impose ourselves on the opposition, but right now, some draws away from home will be enough.

Gilchrist and Imray will be horses for courses IMO and with Campbell an option in the back 4, that will help get us up the pitch. Taylor did well last night, but I'd still only have him there in emergencies. 

ER has 2 weeks now before we have 2 crucial home games... let's use this time to get some players fit, and give the Norwich game the likes of Jama, Imray, Hindolo, Bostock and Whitwell some game time.

Agree that I think we will see more horses for courses, especially around the winnable home games, where Imray maybe plays at RB and maybe even Price in a CM role alongside Mowatt? We seem to have found a formula working away from home based on last night and Derby (and to an extent the Stoke gamre albeit at home)

See yesterday the E&S were talking about us looking at the free market...given the Mepham injury and Bielik being injury prone I wonder if we may see a defender coming in. Personally feel we need someone in attack - someone a bit different to what we have now.. Ryan Kent and Lingard the 2 that stick out in that area

We could of course play some of our youngsters, Whitwell and Bostock deserve a go.

Sadly it's a striker and central midfield we need someone desperately... It'll be frustrating if we give the Palace kid time ahead of Whitwell or Bostock however,

[Gzbaggy]

Bray or Sule?

Is Whitwell not a central midfielder?

Agree about our striker problem
