Roasting hot astro, highly doubt they’ll even water it. Playing straight into there hands playing our slowest CB, they will 100% target that. For what it’s worth I think Helander is our best out and out defender, but I don’t think he suits this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,363 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hopefully same 11 as midweek, with Helander in for Balogun. Bite your hand off for a scrapy 1-0. All about the result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does playing our slowest CB on an unwatered astro park play into their hands? No as if they ball is ever going to zip away from him considering it takes about 3 bounces before it settles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're more than likely going to target Goldson as he can't handle physical centre forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really agree with that. Seen Helander and Edmundson bounced about. Never really seen it happen to Goldson to the same extent. Feel like some folk just really dislike Goldson.

Leeds_Bear 8,103 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Dykes can be managed, just don't get drawn into the physical game he wants you to play. Why I'd go with Goldson and Helander tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we have four very competent CB's mate. I picked Edmundson because he is the biggest to go up against Dykes. If Helander plays, I'm absolutely fine with that although I'm always concerned with him picking up injuries on that surface. Right now, I would settle for a 1-0 win and no injuries.
