McBurnie, Freeman and N'Diaye started. Osborn and Brewster came on at HT. Really a tough one who starts with Sharp and Gibbs-White Saturday.
Freeman looked like he started in midfield and Osborn replaced him in midfield berk started up top in what looked like a 4 4 2 to me mayb ndiaye was also up top but we defended as 4 4 2McBurnie, Freeman and N'Diaye started.

Freeman is a big NO CHANCE from me mi owd pal,i think Ossy was a lot more effective when he came on and his energy levels were fantastic.Burke made some strong runs and looked dangerous until he touched the ball, I thought Tella looked very dangerous for the Saints.UTBFreeman looked like he started in midfield and Osborn replaced him in midfield berk started up top in what looked like a 4 4 2 to me mayb ndiaye was also up top but we defended as 4 4 2
I’d start ndiaye but pull him after and hour and depending how it’s going replace him with Brewster (who had a decent game tonight) or mc pub if we want to defend what we’ve got
When everyone's fit it's more like a 4-3-3 like it was going to be at Hull.I don't really understand this thread. We play a 4-2-3-1, so we need two players to join Sharp and Gibbs-White, not one. Based on yesterday, I'd go with McBurnie and Osborn. Ndiaye isn't fit enough at the minute, so he'd be a better option off the bench.

I don't think he's ever settled away from the smoke, he didn't pull any trees up at Forest either. Miles away from the player who always seemed to play well against us.Freeman is a big NO CHANCE from me mi owd pal,i think Ossy was a lot more effective when he came on and his energy levels were fantastic.Burke made some strong runs and looked dangerous until he touched the ball, I thought Tella looked very dangerous for the Saints.UTB
If Edna is back to anything like his best, it'll be a massive boost for us not only down our left side defensively but also going forward even though he'll be playing more fullback than wingback. I thought he was excellent last night

Berge - Hourihane - Fleck
Gibbs-White - Sharp - Osborn
Agreed. That's the back 4 I'd play but SJ seems pretty obsessed on playing players in positions based in their strongest foot. How else can we explain Robinson having so many chances?He at least knows he has competition for his place now - or at least a manager who might not ignore his competition.
So if he's anywhere near his best condition he should nail down that position and be a massive boost.
Also, with him back in the picture it might well be our best bet to go with a back 4 of Baldock Basham Egan Stevens - all beyond proven at this level together and even in a 4 should ensure we are more than good enough defensively.
