Burton (A) Team & Predictions

by Royal_jimmy » 01 May 2017 15:27

I think Stam will make 3 changes

Al-Habsi, Gunter, Moore, Oxford, Obita, Popa, Swift, Kelly, Evans, Grabban, Kermorgant

Sub's: Jaakola, Watson, Blackett, Mutch, Williams, Beerens, Mendes

Can't see McCleary being risked for this.

Tough game for us but think we will clinch 3rd place with a tight win

I'd like Stam to field a full strength team, but I get the feeling he won't.

Jaakkola, Gunter, Moore, Oxford, Obita, Evans, Kelly, Meite, Popa, Grabban, Mendes

Burton are going to press and our young team are really going to need to get the tempo up at the Pirelli

I'm going for a 2-2 draw.

Meite & Kermorgant with the goals

If ever there was a game to give Watson a run-out - surely this is it? Give Jaakkola a game as well.

Jaakkola

Watson, Moore (c), Ilori, Obita

Kelly, Evans, Swift

Meite, Mendes, Beerens

Subs AAH, Gunter, Oxford, Grabban, Mutch, Williams, Popa

Disagree with giving Jaakola a game. Keepers aren't likely to get injured and it's arguably the position which requires the most match sharpness - especially taking into consideration the occasional howler Al-Habsi has in him.

No point changing the keeper but I think Illori, Watson and Evans would benefit from a full game as would Grabban.
Last chance to ensure we have the squad match fit for the playoffs.

Would rest Swift, McCleary, Blackett, Moore and possibly Williams again. Definitely give Yann a break and go back to Grabban/Mendes for the game

Everyone else bar Gunter who seemingly never needs a rest have had a bit of a break recently and shouldn't be too tired
