    Warming in the Chequers with a relaxing Guinness. Let’s hope we haven’t ****ed it up after a few minutes like the Arsenal game.

    Joffy started against Arsenal and was sacrificed due to the red card, I don’t get why he isn’t starting again. Who are the RB and LB?

    Don’t be surprised if Koch plays midfield and we see wing backs.

    Other than that theory then **** knows.

    In his post match interview Marsch said something about it wasn't working with Joffy I think he said ' tried Joffy today and it wasn't working', saw that and thought, he'll not be playing Wednesday

    Joffy just doesn’t have the pace to play as a lone striker.

    Doesn’t matter how many times Alan Smith in commentary says he’s lightening quick because he isn’t.

    I wondered if it was going to be 5-2-3 but Bate playing has thrown me. On paper it looks very unbalanced so it will be very interesting to see how they line up.

    Maybe Raphinha or James as right wing back with Koch in midfield.

    Just guessing as fans here think it will be a back four.

    I like the lineup. Warming to Marsch because he’s had the good sense to drop the liability that is Firpo.

    Optimistic of getting at least a draw now.

    If he bets a result tonight I will be on his side, but the total miss management of Gelhardt I find amazing. The only player in the club who knows where the goal is and without Bamford I find it a joke. We have to play Joffy more, we couldnt start Joffy he got a knock in training, we cant start Joffy he had a false positive, we cant start Joffy he got a dead leg, and then Joffy fit no start, fit nos start, fit Greenwood, starts but replaced because of a red card. Fk off Marsch seems you havent a scooby, unless you do and get a result and then I will apologise.

    check Gelhardts minutes on the pitch to assists and goals stats.

    Don’t agree about Firpo but I like that Jesse mixes it up.
