Looks like Welllens thinks this is the best XI for how he wants to play.... let's see. Conventional wisdom is that in a relegation battle you look at what you've got and choose a system that fits around the players, keeping it simple.

This looks a bit complex for my tastes.... you'd imagine that Vale will be more simple in approach.

So, enlighten us. What format does Wellens want to play that you think is too complex.

Twine deserves his chance. Wouldn’t have chosen McCourt myself but at least he has a throw on him for our big strikers - oh, hang on . . .

So who else is there without Dunne and Dave that should be in there then

Also Bayo not exactly playing like a striker, no matter how tall he is.

Reg can't say as there are far too many variables Wink

If he's picked Taylor in midfield again, I'll be worried about Wellens' ability!

Having said that he'll probably have his best game in a Town shirt.  Can't see it though, he has never had a good game for us in central midfield.

It doesn't suit him now. Last week I thought he was adequate for the first half but 2nd half he was awful.

What bothers me more is Iandolo as left back as we can't be playing 3 at the back as we have only picked 2 CB's so he wont be left wingback..

Really not feeling tht midfield. Surely just switch Ian out for Taylor and slot Doughty into the holding role in MF.

Glad Knoyle is back in. I'd also start with McCormick in goal - way more confident and commanding than Vigs.

Definately, I agree with all of that.
