Ellis Chapman
I would love to see Ellis start this week. He’s a young player of our own, his performances alongside Michael O’Connor were good and I think working alongside Liam Bridcutt would be brilliant for his development. I’m not sure he will start, but he’s the choice I’d make.
Ellis came of age for me earlier in the season with a series of decent performances but he’s been marginilised of late for one reason or another. I don’t know why, I wish I did, but I’m sure he’s one we would like to keep as a club. If our new focus is on player development, then in Ellis we have one who could net us money in the future. If we’re nuturing our own talent, it makes sense to start playing our young players ahead of the likes of Conor Coventry, however good Conor will be in the future.
Ellis would be my choice; I won’t put a poll out as I’d be copying the Echo and I don’t want to do that. However, I’m interested in your comments, which you can put below. Can I ask one thing though please? My comments section has been getting a bit heated of late, a few misoginistic comments have been floating around and although I’ve not see all out about and foul language, I would like to see a bit more respect towards each other, even those who you veheemently disagree with.
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.
