    Today marks Tony Mowbray’s 50th game in charge at SAFC, apparently . . . . let’s make it one to celebrate, lads :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I reckon it’s a back three the way they’ve released the team sheet.

    Hasn’t Gooch been struggling with a knock? Could just be that.

    Suprised no Gooch, maybe not recovered from his knock.

    Bench is starting to look very strong

    ballard O’Nien and Hume. Clarke and Cirkin.

    Think we will switch between in and out of possession, because Coventry have two handfuls up front, so Hume will help the CBs out.

    Just a thought triggered by the way we listed the team differently to normal.

    I'd say the exact opposite mind.

    3 centre backs ( 2 we haven't really seen and 1 that is leaving).
    1 versatile full back who's never been fit enough to nail down a first team place in 2 years.
    3 midfielders (embo never shown much at this level, Pritchard looks to be off and a 16 year old).
    1 striker (who Mowbray doesn't really fancy yet).

    I'm starting to get nervous about this season, the whole squad balance is off.
