I'm thinking that the side has been settled as results have been good. A combination of a 2nd match in 4 days and today's result will probably prompt a bit of a refresh
Oztumer to start? Alfie in for Baldwin or Harries? Leahy to get a run-out, after Tutonda seemed too far forward at times tonight? Upson in for Grant (who still hasn't convinced me)? Barrel on the bench? The new Burnley bloke on the bench?
Tonight wasn't terrible, but changes might be timely. What do you think?

Oztumer to start because he is good in training or good a couple seasons ago? I know he's not been on much yet but not shown anything yet. Dave could do with a break, Leahy back to get leading scorer spot maybe. Need Ayunga fit to shake things up as a sub

The new Burnley bloke on the bench? Tonight wasn't terrible, but changes might be timely. What do you think? Tonight wasn't terrible I agree. I think we had more composure and belief and shape about us tonight than in any defeat this year. And Daly scored again. And Westbrook stood out. Hull had quite a bit about them. Width. Experience. Fire power. And done a decent job handling our Hardon. Also hare was quiet. I think the problem with Oz starting maybe his fitness. If he can find the league 1 team of year form he will be phenomenal. I wouldn’t like to change the shape or too many faces at once. No one has really let themselves down. Not in the run or even tonight. If McCormack comes out the side we will instantly miss his energy, his movement, in the press, challenge, pass. ide give it one more go for the Saturday game, and couple of different faces against Posh. We’d expect posh to beat us, unless we raise our game somewhat? Jono? It’s brooms return that might haunt us. we haven’t had a bad loss yet, you know, like someone you would think will finish below us, Ipswich, hull, Donnie bags of experience and surely finish top 5?

Upson for Grant might be the one.I wasn't terrible impressed with McCormick tonight so that seems like it might be a good switch with Oztumer. But I wouldn't go overboard elsewhere.
Unlike others I really like Tutonda and I don't rate Leahy at all. I don't know why he's still at the club to be honest. So I wouldn't change that.
Baldwin confuses me. I assumed BG would want to sign ball playing centre backs but he doesn't seem comfortable on the ball at all. Neither is Alfie really. Alfie clearly struggled early on and this unit has been good so I think they've earned the benefit of the doubt for now. I'm sure injuries/suspensions will give Alfie another chance soon but I wonder if Davies getting fit could be a game changer because he is more of a ball playing mobile centre back - that would improve the balance of the back 3 and get him off commentary too (bring back Keith please!).

Through my eyes, Baldwin did not appear to look where the keeper was positioned when he made his horror back pass, not overly impressed with Baldwin last eve. Oztumer looked like he was a second or so behind general play. Overall it was an ok performance, the stats at half time made us look like the away team, a positive was another great opportunist goal smartly taken by the hardworking Daly, he is showing great promise.

Unchanged! Remind Tutonda of his defensive duties. We saw very little of Hare last night - but probably because he was pinned back defending. A lot of their attacks were down our left flank. Not a big fan of Baldwin, but I think he just about keeps his place ahead of Alfie. Upson is not an upgrade on Grant. Messi doesn't look fully fit yet. We lost to a good Hull side, no need to change anything IMHO. Garnerball not Tinkerman.

Why do I want Hargreaves to play. His energy is contagious, but it wont happen. I would put Alfie into the back line in place of Baldwin.

I'm a big Grant fan. He was popping up just in front of our defence and covering as well and was also doing good work in the centre with his distribution. He made a few mistakes, the worst being after Hanlans hard work, but was pretty central to our press last night.
I don't think the back 3 seem confident with Kilgore in. I'd stick with what we've got.
I think we really need more options off the bench upfront.

I think Garner will flex his muscles, he has always said that there are a lot of games and it is a squad game. Kilgor will replace Baldwin, Tutinda will be rested(he looked tired) Koiki or leahy to replace him. Either McCormick or Westbrooke will be replaced with Otzumer or Hargreaves.

Stick to the same starting 11, they're responsible to turn it around. Dont change for the sake of it after 1 defeat to a top 3 team

I think this is the point. It seems like a moment time to change something up. I'm not expecting massive changes (like messing with a stable back 3 partnership that has generally been very good) but I could see other changes being made. People are talking about Otzumer coming in but there's maybe a bigger case to work Nicholson into the side somewhere.

I’d change very few. Koiki for Tutonda, I thought he looked tired last night and Oztumer for McCormack ditto. Baldwin and Harries both had bad second halves but were ok first half. As a unit the 3 CHs are improving and I’d let them be. Perhaps give Grant a rest with Upson but perhaps just tell him he’s the defensive midfielder and remind him to stay and protect the defence. Last night he got pulled out of position too often but he’s young so he’s got to learn and he needs games to do that. UTG!

Grant and Tutonda need some composure because it's all a bit frantic at times, but they'll get there. To me they're trying too hard to impress and they overcook it, but they both look as though they're enjoying their football immensely and that's half the battle. Harries should try to shield a bouncing ball with his body if he's unable to connect with it properly. His sliced clearances are a heart stopper. Playing it out from the back is nice on the eye when it flows but has an achilles heal in the casual or hurried backpass that leaves the goalie stranded. It happens at all levels of the game all the time these days and makes goalies look like clowns. Surely kicking it out for a throw-in or corner must be a better option when under press?
