Really hope Buckley, if fit enough, starts this weekend. He is just what we need. He has pace and is a direct runner who will take players on and get crosses in. I believe he can make the difference and we will climb the table.
Would also be tempted for Buckley to take the place of Dallas and keep Botaka in the side and have a front three with Wood playing his usual role through the middle.
We HAVE to be more brave at home. Mot.

It's not about bravery. It's about the pace we lack for a 433. 442 way to go but by all means get Buckley in team.

George mate there would be plenty of pace with Buckley and Botaka out wide and supporting Wood. And with Cook breaking forward as he can, that's a fair bit of pace attacking.
Only problem with 442 is being overrun in centre midfield as most sides seem to play 433 or 451. Crisp passing is more important than out and out pace. Remember Tony Daley and our own Darren Huckerby?

Indeed I do recall those players. I actually thought Huckerby did ok for us as a sub in last 20 minutes but yes not enough skill at top level. We are still talking championship though. Pace is good because it frightens and tires the opposition, draws fouls and can result in goals which is what the game is about. I believe we need to get back to basics instead of plying Loser's 433. It's stopping the flair and slowing us down. Mowatt case in point. If you concede playing 442 oh well but we are shipping goals anyway with no attacking intent. Rather see a game decided in a more old fashioned way so I see what these players can really do.
