  We're so screwed defensively. We've got 5 senior defenders, the rest are from the academy plus Boiro on a loan we're apparently trying to terminate.
  
  We're so much worse defensively when KWP plays instead of Veltman, so that leaves 4 players (including the albatross around our necks, Kilman) to choose from if we're not gonna have to call on the youngsters, so if Mavropanos is still out we'll have to resort to playing one of them. Scarles has had plenty of first team games and I'm still not convinced tbh, and, if we're being honest, Golambeckis didn't have a great game on Saturday.
  
  Can't help feeling we might struggle again.

  Or perhaps NES can change his tactics to help the situation we are in….Or use players that have played that position before….
  
  I definitely agree with @Brother_Sledge re Areola, but still don’t think NES will drop Mads…

  Golambeckis was involved in two of their goals Saturday.

  Yeah! Let's crucify a youngster.

  Alvarez can play Centre Back or put Morato there and hope he can cover for Kilman.
  
  thorn, It probably didn't help having to play along side Kilman & not having a proper CDM to help make the defence stronger.

  We're not crucifying him, at least I'm not, but if a youngster doesn't have a great game or makes mistakes, are we not allowed to say so?

  If they’re old enough to play then they’re old enough to be criticised. If not they shouldn’t be there.

  I think the knives will really be out for Nuno if we lose this.

  BND, We should really be winning this match and the many more matches still to be played if we are genuinely going to be in the Promotion picture come the end of the season.

  To my untrained eye Morato has not stood out as that comfortable at left back and could only look better in a central position - so I would like to see him moved centrally.
  
  Soucek has to start and try and give us a bit more protection and Austbo has to remain on the opposite flank to Bowen.
  
  For me Piro and Taty have to stay up top which leaves us no room for the much loved Pablo which frankly is ok by me

  Can’t see NES dropping his favourite Kante or Mads….
  I also don’t think Austobo did enough going forwards or helping his fullback IMO…
  Will KWP be fit enough to be involved?
