Let's say all known injuries rule people out for WSW. What would people's preferred lineups be? I thought Lewis had his best game against CCM so would give him another run here. With Davila playing up top but dropping between the lines and rotating with the other 10s. I'd move Payne over playing McGing purely because he's more up to speed and the drop off to Fenton isn't as marked.
9 Kiwis in that starting lineup. One bright side.
Though suspect Muratovic starts ahead of Waine. I thought he was improved against CCM on earlier games, first touch a bit better, and got into some threatening areas. Maybe a bit more relaxed (less nervous?) as was really a lost cause already when he came on.
Putting Payne into CB makes sense. He played there for ES prior Nix.
And yes lets hope Devlin is okay to go. Almost the biggest loss if he is out. Which is a nice compliment for a 2nd year player.
Who knows an underdog, fighting, nothing to lose attitude, with fresh faces, may just be the change the team needs. Keep it tight, hang in there as long as possible, and always a chance. Optimistic view.
