overrun in midfield again the, bugger
Bench is unbalanced. When was the last time we had three defenders on the bench? I guess Obita is the midfield cover, perhaps Hector?
Return of the 4-3-3 with Vydra Sa Blackman up front with Piazon behind them?
Quite the attacking line up, especially away from home. Although it's not as if we have all that many conventional midfield options. Clarke obviously doesn't rate Fernandez enough to warrant a start.

Indeed... and before that it hadn't worked against Rotherham, Fulham or Huddersfield either. Hope it works better today, but if it doesn't, he can hardly say he wasn't warned. It's not as if there isn't an option to play 3 in there, with Fernandez.
Agreed, way too many attackers. We can't play Piazon and Vydra, it's more like a 4-2-4.
Shambles team selection, he's rolling the dice particularly with the pressure on him to get results after the Fulham debacle.

Is a mis-hit shot an assist?

2-1 Forest, Piazon being shit helps out.
