    I thought he'd play O'Brien and I'm pleased.

    Also thought Leadbitter would be there.

    Good bench again and some good options.

    Where’s Dan Neil ffs. Has Parkinson selected the line up today?

    The bench makes the difference. Decent 1st 11 but game changers on the bench if needed. Pity about Dan Neil but his time will come.

    interesting. A little duprised Burge still in nets, but the rest looks good - debut for Vokins, then 4-2-2-2 again, with Luke next to Grant. Interesting and haway yer bastards. get at em

    I think Onien being Grants 'legs' in midfield has the potential to be a very good partnership.

    Not the team I would pick, RTB was a lot closer, but we will see how it goes, no Winchester in the squad is bit of a surprise, as is Burge in goal, he would be my third choice among our keepers on recent form,and there is not much pace in the starting eleven so a tight game on a mud bath is how this looks to me.

    I reckon Winchester was signed before LJ and Speakman got to see O’Nien in training.

    Disappointed Neil isn’t even in the squad after how well he played on Tuesday night.

    It’s getting on my tits tbh. Should have loaned the kid out if he’s got no intention of playing him. If he’s injured I’ll hold my hands up, but no excuse otherwise.

    Disappointed with the starting 11 but look at that bench. With the 5 subs now and knowing that LJ uses all options it's completely a 16 man game. Subs to win the game later on.

    I just hope we get the O’Brien from a couple of weeks ago not the O’Brien since.

    Would have started Jones but he hasn’t played much and actually him and Diamond off the bench is an intriguing prospect.

    Don't think it'll be news to many that I don't like Burge in goal but his problems are confidence based not ability, and there's a chance Johnson can do a Wyke and get his confidence levels up. Seems like he thinks he can.
