    What's your thoughts on Hume mate? I really like him and think he has the attributes to be a very decent player tbh.

    Big fan, he will be class in the next couple of yrs. Honestly feel if he gets a run in the team he will be a top championship rb by next season. Good defensively, strong, good pace and is decent on the ball. Gooch has done well but hume will offer us more as an all round rb

    I'm not sure Neil needs a rest he's performing on a par with Evans and I think he can crack on, good development for him.

    I would like to see Hume and Cirkin back starting and obviously Stewart up front is a big plus.

    Here's a thought. Can we go 2 up top with Stewart and Simms?

    I know 442 is out of fashion, but it would put us on the front foot, give the striker some help with closing down and overloads out wide?

    Looks like he wants to. And get Roberts, Amad and Clarke in the team. No mention of Pritchard though

    Ballard
    Cirkin

    I'd definitely get 2 'proper' full backs in there.

    Going to assume that Batth, Embo and Pritchard are all out. Id go:

    Patterson
    Huggins Ballard O'Nien Cirkin
    Evans Ba Michut
    Diallo Stewart Roberts
    I reckon Mowbray will go:

    Patterson
    Gooch Ballard O'Nien Alese
    Evans Neil
    Diallo Stewart Simms Clarke​

    I’d have Neil in for Matete, otherwise would give that a crack.

    Leaves a decent bench to pick from: Gooch, Wright, Alese, Huggins, Matete, Ba, Clarke, Jewson

    I'd start Matete but he's obviously took a **** in Mowbrays knicker draw or summat.

    Messi, Mbappe, Greizman, but imagine signing Messi on loan for the rest of the season you would not be able to move at the wheatsheaf never mind the SOL, anyway in the real world Ross and Simms up front of course, shame about Elliott, but we have plenty in midfield to beat Blackburn in front of 46,000+

    As these things “even themselves up”, I expect a 2-0 with them whinging about a penalty they should’ve had an us scoring an offside goal.

    Has there been any word on Batth and how bad his calf injury is?

    Be a massive blow if he is out for me. Near enough player of year so far imo.
