Just for the fun of it.

Meslier actually has a better high claim ratio than Darlow has during his career.

Historically commanding the box is not a strength of Darlow

Amps is our most important player IMO. If he is fit and match sharp he plays, it is a no brainer for me. Vocal influential leadership is massive at this stage of the season. Who is alongside him is a difficult one. Could be any of the other three.

Personally I would put Gnonto up top, Piroe at 10 and let them interchange, similarly add further to the mix and let Willy interchange with BA on occasion. Positional Fluidity is feasible with the players we have. So start with BA on the right, Solomon on the left. When the game gets stretched, then introduce Rami and James on the wings. Their pace against tired legs is more likely to pay a dividend.

For me the options are great, the positional rigidity is what can be freshened up. Creates headaches for the opposition defence.

No fun to be had from a stat like that. I am on the fence as to whether changing the keeper at this stage of the season is the right decision. It could backfire just as easily as the suggestion that it shores up the defence. We will soon find out.

Pleased Gnonto is in finally.

Unsure about Darlow but was the only solution.

Hopefully see a much better performance

As am I.

As I'm unconvinced by Darlow.

But he's all we have and Mes head had gone.

That's Mateo's fault. Two poor touches when he should have been holding the ball up which led to the Swansea equaliser last week.

Biggest disappointment of the season for me.

Meslier has cost us at the back & Joseph hasn't lived up to expectations up top.

Joseph hasn't played since October, 5-10 minutes off the bench does hoim no favours.. Going to leave him very rusty and every single player mis controlled v SSwansea at some time.
