When will this run of bad luck and 'nearly' games end? Could this (finally) be the one? It will certainly be a bit more difficult as WLS reports:
Resting Grant Hall meant Lynch played and, by all accounts, had another bad case of the 'lynch-gates' for the second goal. Would it have been better to stick with Hall?
Anyway, McClaren has to make a decision on who will replace Freeman and, with our weakened squad, it is not easy. He could go for BOS, even though he is right-footed; or he could introduce Manning as a left-footed but more defensive player; or he could have Eze play there (risky as that will leave nobody assisting Bidwell in defence). My guess at the line-up to start is:
Lumley
Furlong Leistner Hall Bidwell
Wszolek Luongo Cousins Manning
Wells Hemed
It was scored while they were down to 10 men, with Freeman having gone off after Steve McClaren had made all three substitutions.
“He’s got a hip flexor (problem) and it’s hopefully not too bad,” Rangers manager McClaren explained.
“It will be tough to recover him in three days but it’s hopefully not too serious.”
Grant Hall was rested for the game but is expected to return for the Boro match.
The defender had played four games in a row, making a sudden and emphatic return to action after a long-term knee problem.
