    He's gon a start i think.

    Forrest was done in Tuesday. So unless ita yang and maeda with shin or Kenny I dknt see how he cant not start.

    Can play either side right?

    He's got to start on Sunday. I can't see why he wouldn't.

    Yang or a new guy who we don't know what we're going to get?

    I know what I'm getting with Yang and it's not good enough.

    Hopefully he is match sharp enough to be ready to play Sunday as given our lack of attacking options we really need him to play. With Idah likely on the way out it will be Maeda through the middle. He has played 4 league games for Antwerp this season so far so he should be ok I would hope. My understanding is he can play either wing but usually plays on the left.

    Thing is either Yang or Forrest probably have to start Sunday. Maeda will be the 9 and if Balikwisha is ready then he starts but that still leaves us needing to start Yang or Forrest. Or we could start Nygren on the right and now that I think of it that would be my preference. Maeda through the middle Balikwisha on the left Nygren on the right.

    Maeda I don’t think can be the 9.

    Not suited to it for me, outwith some circumstances. LW for Maeda, if Balikwisha is trusted straight away then him right. If not then Nygren. Engels at CM.

    Personally I’d say Bernardo CM but realistically it’s Engels

    I don't mean to be a moany *, but why could these fellas not be brought in and announced before the * Almaty situation?

    Surely we could've done with their help in the two legs.

    I can see us letting Idah go now, and announcing the big Danish striker on Monday morning after we've played rhe huns.

    With the ridiculous high line the Huns play and the * square balls they keep playing. Maeda through the middle would destroy them.
    Providing he stops making a * of 1 on 1s
