    Glad Lynch is out, man is a disaster. Some big calls there, leaving out Burge, McGeady, Maguire and Hume. Fair play to him for trying something else because it sure as **** wasnt working recently.

    McGeady Maguire and Watmore on the bench. Wow. Not an inspiring team.
    Have we given up?

    Feel a bit fir Hume but he doesn’t suit a 5 at the back... that said, I’ve only really seen that formation work once fir us!!

    That's horrible. No width at all, we're going to be hammered down the wings unless Gillingham are absolutely bloody awful.

    De Bock and McLaughlin aren't attacking players either so I don't see how that's going to work. Flanagan over Lynch? Righto. Maybe injury related. Finally get O'Nien and Dobson in CM together and it's with that abomination.

    Probably go on to beat them 5-0 but on paper that's a contender for the worst side we've ever put out.

    From the last few performances 2 of those three have given up far too easily.

    That what he is there for
    He is the manager not me
    It’s not the team I would pick
    However I don’t think it will make any difference which team is picked
    It’s the way the inderviduals have to perform
    Work hard and gain the result and get picked next game

    5 at the back .
    Given that c macglaughlin has played at cb a few times we have 4 cb's. I'm getting flashbacks to pulis's stoke. Add in de bock who doesnt inspire the least bit of confidence and that back 5 is utterly shocking. Let's hope the gills are comparatively awful in attack.
    Why on earth leadbooted is getting start is bewildering. He's finished at this level. Even in his prime he was slow and he now pitifully slow. What is the point? I can only assume o9 and dobson will be doing his running for him.
    PP is expecting our creative outlet to be leadbooted it seems.
    That donald is going to let PP loose in the transfer market is very very disturbing.
    That is as slow and toothless a side safc have ever put out.
    Let's hope the gills are worse

    Wing backs :afro:

    They’ll be like Roberto Carlos and Cafu!

    I would rather have Whatmore and that young left back as wingbacks than these two. Especially that muppet at RB.

    Hopefully they surprise us :emoticon-0169-dance

    Think Hume had his card marked when he didn’t track Burton’s scorer for their 2nd. Not that I dislike the lad but he’s still got some learning to do defensively

    There is a strong argument to be made that all those on the bench should be starting! Perhaps Parky wants to be sacked?

    Very defensive :angry:

    It’s a terrible looking team on paper mind, loses then then he’s ****ed for picking that team. Talk about a stick to beat him with, it’ll be like ferking spiked baseball bat...
