The dilemma facing head coach Liam Rosenior for today’s match against Wrexham is just how much he can afford to rotate. It’s important that we progress in this FA Cup competition as well, but in terms of priorities, it still pales in comparison with our attempts to finish in the top-five in the league and with our massive clash in the Champions League Round of 16.
So Rosenior is likely to rotate his squad, and the WAGNH Community wholeheartedly agree, choosing to give starts to a couple youngsters at the back, Roméo Lavia in the middle, and Liam Delap up top.
The only mystery was who would be the 11th player, as only ten players garnered at least 50 per cent of the vote. The next highest is Benoît Badiashile’s 36 per cent, and we can finagle him into the lineup by pushing Malo Gusto up into the attacking band. That’s not ideal, but we’ve seen it before.
4-2-3-1 (79%)
Jörgensen (11%) | Hato (72%), Badiashile (36%), Sarr (86%), Acheampong (74%) | Santos (95%), Lavia (78%) | Garnacho (84%), Neto (84%), Gusto (54%) | Delap (81%)
Others receiving votes in the double digits include Jesse Derry (28%) and Marc Guiu (25%), and almost all other remaining players, too.
