    When you see two teams like that it shows the amount of progress that's been made in such a short time. Fantastic.

    I would say team 2 would lose but only because Dallas & Roofe remind me last season, whereas O'Kane & Hernandez were our most successful pairing last season.

    I agree though this shows just how much progress has been made. There is a problem for Tommy though as he finds his best team, there is obvious first teamers, but the skill of a good manager is finding the best 11 to play as a team

    when you see them 2 sides it makes you realise how strong a squad we have now,the likes of Mowatt wouldn't get in any of them.

    I agree 100% m8,Byram had 2-3 good games a season and is no where near,the other 2 would be closer,but if offered a swap,I woundn't take it.

    Not sure what hapened to above post (Null?)
    Wow both teams more than capable of challenging for top six/auto's.
    When you look at them,as w.c.dukenfieldesq said,what a difference from the last decade or so.
    I'm HAPPY<p data-redactor=

    Football at the top level is a squad game the skill now will be man management keeping everyone onside.

    Interested to hear from those that see him more but should pablo an automatic starter? Last couple of televised games he's seemed a bit of a passenger. Against forest I didn't know he was on the pitch for the first fifteen minutes.

    Yes most definitely.

    You can't always see on TV but it's the positions he and Siaz have been taking up and their movement in between the lines which has transformed how we play.

    Was always wary of whether a DoF and Head Coach can actually work but watching this it's made me more of a convert to the idea. Like the idea that TC was out on the training ground Thursday morning and fresh in on Friday morning then having to do this.

    Agree mate but when some of last seasons players are given extended contracts you have to think that they know the club want them. Rumour has it that we have a tight, happy dressing room with players like Dallas wanting to be hwre even though hes a bnech warmer ...

    Dallas is a paddy and as we know fom Eire and olof the national occupation is wage thief so of course he is happy to be paid for sitting on his arse.


    Dont let them say he is a different sort of paddy we know they are all the same.

    I have to be honest when TC played Hernandez and Siaz together I thought it wouldn't work and we'd be found out defensively.

    It seems so far that TC is a good coach and not afraid to back his formations which is very pleasing after watching the one dimensional stuff we played last season.

    I have a sneaky feeling Pablo will be replaced by Pavel on the left with Pablo on the benchto replace Samu if he has a bad game. Would love to see Lassoga & Grot in tandem up top it would scare the crap out of defences if we dare do it.

    With O'Kane returning from International duty with a hamstring injury wonder if Klich will get the nod before Viera

    iv looked at those 2 teams and I'm really struggling to put together a decent first 11 plus too many foreigners who are going to start quibbing when they don't get games after choosing to move to Yorkshire. Cant see nothing but trouble ahead <yikes>
