.. in which case HM, and assuming Thompson is back from suspension ? I'd go :
iverson
Thompson ihiekwe wood Mattock
ogbene crooks barlaser adelakun
Smith Vassell
main subs : Freddie & Olusunde
My main issue is that I like Olusunde and Ogbene playing together, but I think Olusunde is a liability as a full back (keeps getting caught out of poisition), so Thompson would be my first choice if back.
Freddie as super sub if we are struggling up front, but if you have watched the recent games where Smith and Vassell have played together, you couldn't start with any other combo up front in my opionion...
Nervous about Tuesday but a win would be great (Any kind of win, I don't care how well we play, just win please...)

Can’t agree about Olosunde being a liability at full back, he’s been one of our stand out performers even when we were poor pre December. If anyone is in to stats he’s very high on tackles won for full backs in the division.
It's funny how people see games differently (Hillsborough,Th, and Gwru), oh forgot they don't go to away games. Peterborough's two goals came down our right, with our right side badly at fault for the first goal. Mattock was steady but not spectacular, as he has been all season.
Tomorrow we play the top of the league and a team who have been thereabouts all season. They had a bad run in November and December, but are undefeated in 2020. In the last five games they have drawn at Oxford and Wycombe and by all accounts were the better team. In 2020 they have only let 3 goals in. A tough task lies ahead tomorrow. They tend to play a 3:4:1:2 system and have players with pace who can change games. In Luke Woolfenden and Flynn Downes they have two of the best young players in the league. Both get stuck in, Woolfenden at the back and Downes in the middle of the park. The tractor boys fans believe these two will go, even if they go up and could demand 8-10 million apiece.
Because we are at home i would leave Olosunde at right back. The decision Warne has to make, is, does he put Crooks and Vassell straight back into the team? I think i would because both were arguably our best players in the five match winning run.
We won five consecutive league games playing 442. We lost a tight game at Peterborough. We missed Crooks massively. I think we should stick with the same formation and largely the same team that has been doing so well for us. As well as others have stood in for him and although he may not be a world beater, in my opinion Mattock remains our best left back. Personally I would pick the same team that Whiston has suggested.
See whose right me we need 3 in midfield against these better sides. If Mattock is back up to speed will give us width on the left. Iverson Olosunde Ihiewke Thompson Mattock Ogbene Lindsay Barlaser Wiles or Crooks Smith Vassell. Lamy 1st change out wide.
Wouldn't want money on this match but it's such a terrible league that our top form is probably better than theirs even though Ipswich seem to have improved since introducing some of their younger prospects.

We've already seen. We didn't have three in midfield at home to Peterborough or away at Oxford or in any of the other five games we won in a row. We didn't have three in midfield when we won away at Ipswich either. If you remember gwru at Ipswich you gave us no chance just before kick off because playing Olosunde and Clarke as wide midfielders was never going to work (it did).
If we play 442 and lose you will claim you were right, but you won't have anything to compare it to i.e. we won't see what would have happened if we had played differently. If we play 442 and win, you will say that the league is crap, or Ipswich were crap, or that we got lucky, and you will move quickly on to the next game and say you will judge it on that. We've seen it all before.
In a nutshell, you're 'see if I'm right' game is complete nonsense. Personally I'm not interested in playing that game. I just want us to play well and hopefully win. I'm not interested in whether in your bizarre mind you think you are proved right or not.

This match tonight is a must win game see if our great leader can pass this test. The only leader we have on the pitch is woody even as good a player as he is the other individuals in this side can not cope when we go a goal down. If any of you bothered to listen to what he said at the weekend some could not handle it then we went 2 goals down after 20 minutes game over. I am very concerned that we just are not good enough still standing to my prediction for this season we won't go down we won't go up. Hope I am proved wrong.
Whiston please don't criticise me about not going to the away games. I have other commitments that day and I speak to a long time fan who does go to the away games and I value their judgement on the performance

Hillsborough miller I like to read your messages someone who has a balanced point of view. It might be completely different to mine sometimes we can agree. Carry on with the good work you are right we can not all go to away game for what ever reason. It doesn't make you a bad miller supporter.
