Is Junior injured?

Let’s see if those players who haven’t been in form like Fred and Leahy find form with a different manager.

Players not selected: Stuart Moore / Anders Hagelskjaer / Declan Skura / Niall Huggins / Alex Lowry / James Tilley / Magnus Westergaard / Armando Junior Quitirna / Jaiden Bartolo

For what it’s worth, i dont rate Leathy, neither. I think Grimmer has been bang out of form for a while, as has Fred. But it’s a new dawn, let’s get behind them.

Certainly looks like a solid enough back 4. But in front of that it could be almost anything beyond Leahy sitting.

Interesting choices that I’m looking forward to seeing in action.

Isn’t Fred our top scorer?

I’d be very surprised if this is a back four. He normally goes with a back three.

Expect Allen to be LCB and Harvie LWB.

If it’s not working I think he will change it quickly

I’m slightly more concerned about the absence of Junior Quitirna than the two you mention.

He is. Youth career with Chelsea where he was a natural born goalscorer. Turns 20 next month. Really hope to see him as one of the finishers.

Preferably finishing Northampton off.

Pleased with the lineup. Feels to me like the right players have been dropped out of the squad (Danes, Lowry, Tilley, Quitirna). Relatively unchanged starting eleven feels right given the limited opportunity to work with the players that Duff has had. Pleased he’s started Henderson who looks sharp and incisive. Positive about today.

This feels so different already, have we already had more shots on target than Dodds 27 games???

We stopped killing the tempo by wanking around at the back.
