Just reading the sunday mail suggesting we are looking at taking Leicester midfielder knockhert on loan +Blackburn would like to loan L/V/Parra.
It would be stupid to let van la parra go, infact I can't see it happening why would we do it? He's one of our best players! Knockheart I guess would be a good replacement for sajo
This should be are team on Saturday or similar if we sign knockaet this would be my team
Ikeme
Dotherty batth stearman golbourne
McDonald Rowe
Van la parra knockaet Sako
Dicko/graham
To be honest I think I'd go all Mike Bassett on Sunday and play 4-4-f***ing 2. Get back to basics. If I was manager I would play (assuming ebanks-landell is injured) :
Ikeme
Doherty, Batth, Ricketts, Golbourne,
v la parra, evans, saville, sako,
dicko, graham.
Subs: Kusczcak, Stearman, Rowe, McDonald, Edwards, Henry, Clarke (?)
[Ricketts at Left CB as he's more natural in that position than Stears or Batth, McDonald needs resting, Rowe is pretty interchangeable with Saville and Graham needs someone with pace up alongside him].
Ikeme; Doherty, Batth, Ricketts, Golbourne; MacDonald, Evans, Sako, VLP; Dicko, Graham
Hause and Iorfa in line for debuts on Saturday.one or the other will partner Danny Batth.
Personally i'd drop Batth for a few matches he clearly needs the rest.

Hause likely to be on the bench, or even standby for a recall if we're one short at the back. CB seems to be the problem. I'd like to see the dream-team re-formed - Ricketts, Stearman, Batth, Golbourne. Means no Docherty but something has to give and Ricketts seems to add some confidence. We've been awful since Golbourne has been out.
Dicko still injured so I expect Graham to be the lone striker. I'd rather have Henry, McDonald, Jacobs/RvlP, Evans (if fit) and Sako across midfield. Edwards not at his best yet but knowing Kenny he will probably play.
Iorfa is more of a right back so if anything it will hause but I've got feeling stearman will come back in so will golbourne with dicko partnering graham or Jacobs behind graham because tbh I can't see graham being dropped after kj praised him and hopefully van la parra comes back in as well personally I think he offers more than henry does and hause will be cover for stearman or batth
If we are going to play 442 i'd play
Ikeme
dothery batth stearman golbourne
la parra McDonald rowe sako
dicko graham
th I can't see him dropping rowe or McDonald because I don't think they played that bad together and I drop Edwards for dicko as graham needs pace up there with him
