All I'm wanting from Hay in this game is an extra man in midfield, someone who is able to pick up the ball between the lines and move it forward. This is what we have been lacking in the two games IMO. 433 perfect for this. I personally would drop Lewis and move Stensness into midfield with Bell then either one of McCowatt, Just, or Stamenic into the pocket. Can still have our fullbacks attack in a 4 across the back we just need one of the midfielders to sit when we attack. I have a lot of sympathy for Wood who must've thought the days of Hudson ball were behind him. The man is the only outlet we have and all we have been doing in the previous two games is pumping it long and hoping someone wins the flick on off him. Bring on Wednesday..
Alternatively more midfield cover might give Lewis the chance to hit his stride? We know he’s a quality player. Stamenic is a young guy who hasn’t been playing much. Did fly into some tackles in his second run out though which was good from my point of view!
Just and McCowwatt in the front 3? Or use McCowatt as impact and start Waine?
Or won’t change tactics and personal outside the keeper and injury change?
As for Lewis being a "quality player"? Maybe at small town level but he has had at least 2 hours, not including friendlies, of very recent football to show some international "quality". For me he has shown none.
No matter for his supporters, as the coach has shown he has no idea what "quality" is, so Lewis will likely not be replaced.
As for Stamenic... This is the Olympics, not some neighbourhood kiddie game where everyone gets a turn. Training is over. It's time to perform.
