Team for Bulgaria

[muaythai]

So now we know Mr Bellamy is ruled out what kind of team would you go with on friday against Bulgaria?

[squatter1]

I thought that without Ramsey we would need both Bale and Bellamy to have a decent chance of a result.

Without Bellers, all of a sudden we have no one to play right mid. Is Davies coming back? I'd put him there, but I doubt he's coming.

And up front, the only on form striker we've got is Morrison, and he's not proved himself at this level yet. Yet without Bellers if we're gonna score goals we probably need two up top.

So we've got big problems.

I'd probably play three at the back as there's no right midfielder I can think of (Bellers, Davies, Cotterill, Collison all out for one reason or other):

Hennesey
Gunter, Collins, Gabs, Williams, Bale
Ledley King Vaughan
Morrison Church

Bale and Gunter to play very attacking

And even that doesnt fill me with any confidence.

"Gunter to play very attacking"


You should be on the stage!

Shift Edwards to the right side of midfield, he played there for Wolves last weekend if I recall.

Under no circumstances should we try 5-3-2......that formation has long been given its last rites.

Don't think Flynn has played 5 at the back before- I doubt he's going to start now. Especially not at home in a game he'll want us to go out to win.

[squatter1]

Fair play, I forgot Edwards (not hard after his last game)

4-4-2 with Edwards on the right it is.

Myhill

Gunter Collins Williams Collins

Davies Vaughan King Bale

Morison Church

This is obviously dependent on whether Davies comes back or not.
Also, if Gabbs plays again on saturday, I would swap him for Williams.
Not sure what to do up front but those are the last 2 strikers to score for us
at any decent level

After so many let themselves down we are now left with a wing and a prayer quite frankly. It all falls to Flynn to spring some surprises and work a supreme act of motivation as looking at what we currently have in the locker there isnt an awful lot we can change from the side that played so woefully against Montenegro

For a start Myhill has to play. Simply a better keeper than Hennessey at this time.

Collins wants dropping after his last performance but who is there to replace him? So a back four that almost picks itself: Gunter, Collins, Williams and either Collins or Gabbidon.

Ledley wants dropping too but theres no-one to replace him either really. Is Allen available? Midfield of Edwards, King, Allen and Bale if so.

Id be loathe to bring in Church alongside Morison. But it would be suicidal to play Evans or Robson-Kanu. i would really love to see Flynn spring a surprise up front, bring an under 21 or under 19 in. We cant do any worse than what we have surely?
