With three what I think are very good centre backs, a 3-5-2 formation becomes a possibility.

For example:

or

Could put Deering or Gornell in the hole and take out one of the CMs in the second one.

No way will Roofe start ahead of Curo or Gornell.

For what it's worth I think we will play 4-5-1 Saturday with Harrison upfront then Gornell & Curo coming on if we are losing.

I expect Ajala and Goldson to start but not Roofe.

Goldson for who though Troy Brown? Really after keeping two clean sheets?

I'd play Goldson at right back with Sido or Richards at left back.

Sido only missing 1 match was ridiculous - he should be dropped on Sat - he needs to learn.

Needs to learn what? That you get dropped after keeping two clean sheets? :shock:
We've cut out the errors - no need to go messing with ANY of the defence for the next game.

He has just played his part in us conceding only 1 goal in 3 games and you want him dropped?

Decent suggestion.

Has worked well for Villa and Liverpool at times this season.

No way we will play 3-5-2 (even at home!!). I might be tempted to throw in 1 of 2 new front players straight away with Harrison.
