Bradshaw is back in the Millwall squad today after injury, no Cabango or Mepham though so both must be doubtful

So just when people have given up on getting tickets for the family, they now release another block of 700. Unbelievable Jeff. Must be to do with safety. I notice the family stand including a child ticket restriction doesn’t apply and the category is labelled ‘Ninian Stand Over Flow’. |

Is Moore also suspended for the Croatia game? I know Morrell is so that explains his exclusion Should have played him in the Gibraltar match. |

Croatia's frontline is very depleted going into the game against us apparently. Ivan Perisic (Spurs) is injured, Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim) is injured, Bruno Petkovic (Zagreb) is injured, Marko Livaja (Split) has retired. The only two forwards left in their squad are striker Petar Musa (Benfica) who has 4 caps 0 goals, and winger Josip Brekalo (Fiorentina) 33 caps 4 goals
They are likely to call in someone else for the bench, but their forward line is very likely to be Brekalo-Musa-Vlasic which is a lot weaker than they've had in recent years
Yes their midfield is insanely strong, but they won't be as sharp at the top end of the pitch as they have been in recent times. Bodes well for us, especially given we need at least a draw. One goal may well be all we need to get that point. They've also got a couple of defensive injuries too, so despite losing Ramsey and Johnson, I'd say they are in a worse position than us with injuries

especially given we need at least a draw. Assuming Croatia beat Turkey, a win for us doesn’t really do anything as it’s likely Turkey beat Latvia which would require us to beat Turkey. I’d take 0-0 Sunday all day long. Just hope Croatia do not falter against Turkey. |

They will also have had to play a tough match against Turkey a few nights before.
This too could work in our favour should they pick up further injuries or indeed be a bit jaded by Sunday night (2 qualifiers against fired-up opponents in the space of 2-3 days is not going to be easy for them).

I think the atmosphere around this campaign would massively shift if we were to beat Croatia |

Let’s hope Croatia beat Turkey though, I am worried after your post haha!! |

A win for us in Cardiff next Sunday for us would be massive, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...Croatia v Turkey in Osijek this Thursday will be interesting.

We need Croatia to beat Turkey so I'm not sure their injuries help us in this instance True but Croatia are home for that one and they're playing that one first, so we're always going to be in the better position in this camp. Playing a Croatia team at home who have just played a tough match and are already depleted is a better for us. We just have to hope they dispatch Turkey first |

Seems to be some doubt regarding Mepham's fitness, could we see another defensive call up to go with Low?

Post by allezlesrouges on Oct 9, 2023 13:29:20 GMT
Would be Rodon-Lockyer-Davies starting in that case, with Poole & Low as backups, don't forget we've also got Ampadu who in a crisis would likely be used there with someone like Sheehan or Levitt likely to move into midfield in that scenario. I don't think we will call anyone else up

Levitt and Sheehan are different players to Ampadu and almost completely lack the physical edge Ampadu brings |

I've got a feeling Wilson came on tonight because he isn't starting against Croatia

I ask as Brooks has had hardly any game time at Bournemouth in recent weeks? |

I ask as Brooks has had hardly any game time at Bournemouth in recent weeks? Brooks is a bit quicker and better on the break. I think it's 50-50 tbh, I think Brooks is the better player but as you say has had less minutes recently. Page so far has preferred Wilson so difficult one to call |

Nah, Wilson starts against Croatia. He's one of the few players who's actually playing regular top flight football. Straight swap for Ramsey imo.

My Croatian friend and football fanatic is not too sure about Croatia against Turkey. He was a month ago. They have some injuries. He doesn’t like their predicted line up

For what it’s worth he still says they’ll scrape a 2-0 win.

Savage and Low are staying with the senior squad for the Croatia game Deserved. They were impressive and I think if either Ampadu or JJ needs subbing Savage could well be next in line to get on the pitch ahead of Sheehan or Levitt |
