What on God's green earth would you be doing if you were Ainsworth? What would you be saying?
And who would you play?
Give the 11, or the bulk of them, who did themselves credit vs Watford then disgraced themselves v Blackpool three days later an opportunity to redeem themselves? Make wholesale changes, depending on who can run around on two legs right now? Play the kids in retaliation? Something in between?
In an ideal world, for any number of reasons, I'd be hooking Dieng, Drewe, one/both of Dickie and/or Dunne, Iroegbunam, Dozey, and Lowe. It's thin pickings, but for me I'd start Jojo, Uncle, Balogan (if back from the dead), Chair (if he can manage 60m at least), Richards (if his boot laces are secure), Paal (if not sulking/suffering from the vapours) and Laird (see Paal). Go back to three at the back and play three up. What could possibly go wrong?
Ergo,
Archer Paal Dunne/Dickie/Balogan Laird Kakay Jojo Field Chair/Richards Dykes Martin Armstrong *
* If Gubbins is worth a try, and GA is feeling brave enough, throw him in!
maybe try an Olly and get a few fans in to talk to the players about how much the club means to them/us , the efforts we go too for a game etc
I'd take the emotion out of it and be working all day on defending set pieces and working on team shape without the ball. I think that will have a bigger impact than talking about how much the club means etc
If I was Ainsworth I would be sipping on Grandpas old medicine, while reciting the Lords pray. I would also play The Imperial Death March from Empire Strikes Back on my Casio keyboard.

Line the decks with loblolly men, we're expecting casualties !
I don't have a problem with Tim starting as we haven't got anyone better and he has at least been available all the time. He's clearly far more effective going forward though, so needs to be played high up. If Field's in defence, that leaves the question of who sits deep in midfield, which is a real problem as Johansen is not fit and Dozzell is ineffectual. I think midfield is the weakest area of our team, which is saying something.
Disagree about Dieng, but he obviously won't be dropped, whatever the reasons.
If Gubbins is not considered an option when our defence is averaging 3 goals per game under GA then why has he got a contract? My XI (assuming Laird, JCS & Balogan are still dead) Archer Kakay Gubbins Stef Dunne Paal Field Amos Armstrong Martin Dykes
