World Cup Qualification Playoffs - March 2026

I'm of the firm belief that if HH can get the tactics right for the first 20 mins against Czechia then it'll be ours for the taking. I did read some worrying suggestions they might move the venue to some manky commute which suggests they are pretty fearful..

One area we didn't really touch on in the last few days of debate - going back to the second window there was a lot of consensus on here that the pairing of Cullen and Knight was a big part of the problem. Now that we've had two games without Knight, does HH bring him back into the starting lineup or does Molumby keep his spot. I'm inclined to say the latter but curious on everyone's opinion

I mean is this even a question?

Has to be Molumby for me. Taylor if unavailable. Go with the guys that got you there unless it’s an established star, which Knight isn’t. In the squad, off the bench, sure — and in general terms there’s not much between Molumby, Taylor and Knight — they’re all solid Championship level midfielders. But don't mess with a winning formula unless Molumby/Taylor unavailable IMO.

100% Knight doesn’t fit in to the picture at the moment. I’m not sure he and Cullen have ever worked well together and I don’t see Cullen being dropped.

I’m wondering could Azaz and Cullen play together with Ferguson and Parrott up top somehow

I don't think we need to start both Ferguson and Parrott. Parrott has the 9 role nailed down for now, Ferguson could be back in the Brighton reserves by March the way his season has gone so far. I'd hold him back as a better alternative to Idah to come in off the bench if needed.
