Should Stach Return + Your Midfield? - Poll of the Day (5th Nov)

Ampadu, Longstaff & Tanaka recorded their lowest player ratings of the season vs Brighton.

You have two options

Yes or No

Your midfield three/other.

Both Longstaff & Stach have goal in them so have gone for them plus Ampedu.

Ampadu as the 4, Stach/Tanaka as twin 8's as they're different types of players

I've gone Ampadu Stach Tanaka, but the idea of Longstaff Stach Tanaka might be worth exploring as Amps has been off it a bit of late, and Stach could do that holding job without us losing too much bite.

Won't happen in a million years though.

Also, Amps, Longstaff & Stach have the physicality to cope with the big Forest midfielders.

I just knew our fans would drop Longstaff, who I have no doubt will be much improved on Sunday.

He'd struggle to be worse

I went Stach for Amps

He's been poor for quite a while now so would like to see if a different dm stops the tide of goals going in

Amps is a must. Hard to standout when the team has played so poorly of late. I want to see Amps, Stach and Longstaff back. We have looked more solid with that trio in the starting line up. Some may have forgotten that.

Tanaka is struggling at this level IMO. He needs time to adjust.

The only other changes I would prefer would be Willy for BA and Struijk for Bijol.

60 to 65 mins of Willy, who will work his socks off and then introduce James.

We certainly looked more solid with Ampadu, Longstaff & Stach as our midfield three!
