Assuming it goes ahead...
Its time to give the 'kids' in central defence and midfield some solidity around them
So lets play 4-2-3-1; get McKenzie and MacDonald in front of back 4 and put Samuel as lone striker, giving Graham a completely free role; Akinde & Coyle on bench for last 20 mins if we're 2 down
Bonham; Jackson, Tucker, Maghoma, Medley; McKenzie, MacDonald; Graham, Eccles, Robertson; Samuel;
then Ogilvie for Magh on Saturday
Then can review when we get those injured back , esp Dempsey, but I'd like McKenzie to continue in front of central defence playing the role O'Keefe did last season
Ipswich have virtually no strikers, and Sunderland dont score many so we could get a point from each game, or sneak a 1-0 if Samuel can con a pen - he has had quite a lot of practice!
If we do bring in a free-agent player lets hope its one with experience of this level, not another 'young kid'
