    Duplicate. Charles and Downes midfield!

    So Holgate FB, Charles midfield, still no room for Alcaraz…

    Sorry but that's another ludicrous team selection. Holgate at RB. No Charly. If we don't win he has to go.

    I mean, it’s better, but it’s still not the thing it should be…

    I'm not so sure. That could easily be Charles at right back and kwp at left back. With bednarek playing on the wing.

    At least Charly and Edozie are on the bench

    I agree that Holgate at RB looks like the probable tactic. But I guess it could be a back three, with KWP and Fraser as WBs.

    Marginally better. Still ****ing stupid to leave out Charly.

    Happy with that team, prefer Charly in, but can’t overly complain at this.

    Until Charly learns to play a position and not just charge around all over the place fouling people, I suspect that might happen. Let’s not forget how poor he was to start the season. And I’m a fan of Charly.

    It's Holgate at RB. Martin said he could play RB when we signed him.

    Oooh, hadn’t thought of them as Wing Backs, I initially thought of back three, but then thought id imagine he played Holgate RB.

    Not sure a back 3 would help us defensively, as more people to get in one another’s way, although id imagine one of the back three could step into midfield…

    Brilliant bench for this level (would be even better if Aribo and Mara weren't there).

    Shame that half of them aren't starting!

    Yep, this is my view, don’t think Charly has earned his place yet. Still think he will come good, but he needs more discipline.

    Stuie, Edozie and Charly should sll be in the team. Smallbone again f*cks sake.

    Also, we have a right back in reserve. Why play a sh*t cb there?

    Got to be a back 3. Surely?

    Do we think that the city of Southampton is some sort of Bermuda triangle where managers loose their **** and start trying to put a square plug in a round hole? I also think that maybe the coaches all sit around the table and say

    "Guys, there is this round thing that has been rotating and moving stuff around for centuries and centuries. Shall we try an reinvent it?"
