I can’t see where the goals are going to come from with that team

How does Fred keep getting starts. I just don’t get it.

Good to see Hendo finally available, and also Westy back.

But Fink still not available is a downer.

Is interesting to see Allen benched as a lot of the attack seemed to go through him and his crosses in midweek. Could have been fooled to think he was playing left wing!

Junior, McCleary both injured.

Fink injured

Who would take his place out of interest? Tilley? Who’s not shown much so far?

Of course Junior is injured. Of course he is.

After 6 months of poor form?

How about an academy player. It’s almost a joke now.

absolutely pathetic, another injury and zero strikers on the bench , buy some attacking players this is embarrassing, part of me hopes we lose, if management team think this is acceptable then they all deserved to be sacked

I read the transfers thread, and apparently this is the best squad we’ve ever had.

Let’s see what Hendo can do, can he be the new Morley?

Taylor Allen offered the most threat in the last game and he’s on the bench…

That’s why.

Although also I’d imagine he’s absolutely knackered after carrying most of the team up and down the pitch.

Yeh, I don’t get that either.

So is Lowry on the left? What is the formation?

our formationn is 3-4-3

and it will never change

Id probably CBM over Leahy. But, with injuries, its probably best we have.

Hes been on the left every game. He tucks in though.

Maybe Udoh on the left wing and nobody up front?

Because he isnt as good as Harvie at LB

For me it’ll always be the JJ derby.

Can’t help but think him and Casey were bought with a back 3 in mind. Odd that he can’t be accommodated after being superb first half at least last week. Sure Harvie could play further forward as well as anyone else has done.
