    O'Nien is good at CB and he won't get into our midfield again ...

    ... perhaps that's the plan.

    The BBC reckon it's a back 3 (3-4-3)

    Playing it safe, or convinced that the players arent the problem but the preparation was ?

    Bench is amazing though

    Conservative indeed. However, I'm 100% behind those selected, and those who have made the selections.

    Second half will be interesting, that's for sure.

    Ha'way me bonny lads !!!

    Neil and Embleton don't get half the stick Gooch does but there's only been one of the three working and running ...

    ... if Gooch is taking the ball wide he needs players steaming into the box.

    Otherwise he has to check back and wait for support, if he crosses to no one it looks even worse.

    There wasn’t this many in their seats 30 mins before KO even in the PL days.

    Looks right to me. Winchester aa a right back earlier in the season was ok. Does show, in my opinion, we didnt get the window right though. We needed a RB and a CB back in. Pleased to see Pritchard back, he is the main man for us. Very surprised Gooch plays as we were trying to offload him on Monday. Personally hope he has a blinder.

    It's a reflection on the other players that Gooch is picked year after year, season after season ...

    Gooch starting is a strange one, had his bags packed Monday and Matete in for Evans seemed a no brainier. 5 signings on the bench looks like the caretaker doesn’t want to accept responsibility for picking today’s side.

    Anyway, gives the lads from last Saturday a chance to put things right.

    4-0 HTL

    Mike Dodds could possibly become the caretaker manager with the biggest win in history ...

    ... and no I don't believe in jinxes <laugh>

    Whatever you think of him, he'll put in a good shift ...

    ... no matter how many positions he's asked to play in today <laugh>
