It'll be interesting to see whether that comes in a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2, or whether I've got it completely wrong! I think we've got the players for either, but would worry about getting overrun in midfield playing 4-4-2. We've been playing in a flat 4-4-2 the past few games, often looks more like a 4-2-4, suspect we'll stick with that.

Harris isn't really a three at the back man so I don't see that happening. I suspect as above it'll be much the same as it is now.
I assume Bonne starts so it'll be interesting to see who makes way.

I thought that, but then wondered if he might get shovelled out to one of the wide positions.

Is his name close enough to Bonner to appease people? Forget Bonner, it's true legends like Rory Mcauley for the appeasement.

Could go full circle and play a diamond like in the promotion season
Lennett/Gibbons Rennett Morro Andrew
Cousins/Digby
Kaikai Brophy
Kachunga
Taylor Bonne
Or variations on a theme. If nothing else, this gives us options.

Think Lankester deserves a start. Looked good on the ball when he came on Saturday. Our only creative threat from a central position.

If nothing else, this gives us options. If Brophy's form doesn't get back to where he was, then he might not be in the starting XI for much longer. Particularly depending on whether we do add anyone else today

Another full international for the ranks. We had any other Zimbabweans play for us? Only one I could find was Joshua Jeche who was in our youth ranks about 5 years ago.

Finally a striker announced On that basis alone I'm happy! He has previous with Taylor and Harris too so that can only be a positive.

I guess as Kachunga isn't really an out-an-out striker, I've still seen him as the 10 in our usual 4-2-3-1, even though he's been playing a bit further forward than that - 9.5 or whatever Harris called it the other week.

Particularly depending on whether we do add anyone else today Yes I think this is true, but we don't know what's going on in the background &, while he's subbed him in every game, Harris has started him in every game since he came in too. Can't see us starting Kachunga out there though – if/when Brophy gets a few games' rest, I'd imagine it'd be Lankester coming in on the right and Kaikai moving over.
