I think, however, we will start 3-5-2 and play the same side as last week but with Donohue or Khan instead of Mellis. Not a bad side at all but at home against Morecambe I would love to see the 4-4-2 formation used in the second half at Newport.
How can you not start with Khan over McDonald?. He changed the game at Newport and was full of running.
McDonald and Donahue together is far to defensive for me especially when you consider the opposition and also add Bishop into the mix. The fact is we are blessed in midfield and the different combinations give us loads of options but against Morcambe we need to be on the front foot from the off. If we sit back they will park the bus and become even harder to break down. Quick close passing on the floor with nothing over head height should do it.
Actually think at the moment central midfield looks like our weakest area in terms of real quality, though we do have decent depth. Bit concerned that we won’t be comfortable enough on the ball in there with Mellis out, are Macca and Bishop capable of going and getting the ball off the defenders and get us playing or will it be rushed? That opinion on midfield quality is formed having seen next to nothing of Donohue though and he could, and will hopefully be a top player for us so could change that outlook.
Completely agree that Khan has to start and a quick start is the key for this one. Should get the win.

Are you surprised with those two in the centre of the park and your exciting left winger on the right

tbf Sweeney was poor last week so made sense to start Preston but he's not had a good game.

Manager is an ex defender - not good
Opposition will now know to go for us right from the start.
Whatever happened to our best defensive record from last season with the same players?!
