Tayo Edun
I like Tayo Edun. I liked him at full-back the other night, I liked him against Blackpool on his debut and I firmly believe the future of our central midfield is Tayo Edun. He’s energetic, he’s talented and he is getting used to League One football with every minute he plays. I haven’t selected him as my first choice for one reason; the left-back slot.
I wonder if, for consistency, MA will persist with him at left-back. He wasn’t Harry Toffolo standard, but he was aware and hard-working against MK Dons. If Max Melbourne has been taken out of the firing line for now, it makes sense to persist with Tayo for a game or two. Akeem Hinds doesn’t look ready for first-team football just yet otherwise, he would have started the other night.
MA has a couple of options, but starting Tayo at left-back is one, or bringing him into the midfield and starting Max is another. I suspect he’ll go with the former.
I’d go for Ellis too, but what if Bozzie’s fit? Where would we fit him in? Surely not alongside another holding midfielder even though we are away, where a point would be acceptable. Dropping Shacks or Cian would be the other option. Comforting to see that we have a full and fit squad from which to choose.
MA certaily going in the right direction, it takes time folk.
I would consider only three options.
1.Edun, natural choice there with Melbourne going back to LB.
2.Grant as in my eyes he would be better as CM than winger. Only difference is I would go with Scully on the wing instead of ,,Zack attack” ?.
3. Ellis who has cool head, quite few senior games under his belt for a young player and would be playing alongside experienced Bridcutt which may work nicely. Only trouble I can see is he did not play for a while now.
Yawn, yawn , yawn…. lets turn this place into a Diana dating site. There must be thousands of Imps males dying to hook up with her…..NOT!!
Dating site lol Last thing I need but hey thanks very nice of you.
I bet you could do with one …..
My choice would be Edun. with Melbourne returning at left back ( I think Appleton said either pre or post-match he’d only been left out against Milton Keynes because of setting up against that particular opposition). However, I strongly suspect it will be Coventry. I thought he looked a good player against Shrewsbury but hasn’t done as well since. But I agree about Chapman and that he could benefit from being alongside Bridcutt. He would also add a bit of height to the team as well, especially if Edun was left back.
