    For my money we didn't do a lot wrong against Cardiff we just really needed an early goal as that would have scuppered their game plan but that wasn't to be. This will be a similar game and I feel like an early goal again would change the complexion of the game as I think these will try and stay compact behind the ball and try and hit us on the break.
    That said I believe we will get an early break through and think it will open the game up for us as these chase it so will go 0-3 and hopefully a striker to score (has to happen one day)

    I listened to the What The Falk podcast, the Sheff Wed supporter when asked for his predictions said he would give 2, his heart wanted a 1-0 win to them, his head was telling him we will win 4-0, doesnt sound like they have any confidence at all

    Dilemma for TM on who starts, cases can be made for several players, I would like to see Rusyn and Adil starting, but I can see why others may want Dack or Pritchard or Roberts starting.

    Think Jobe may be rested this game if Ekwah is fit.

    Decisions, decisions and all good ones

    Great thread @RTB. Thanks again for your efforts.

    No clue about the lineup but would be surprised if AA doesn’t start.
    Return to winning ways 0-3.

    Another great thread RTB. After a bit of thought on this one, I wouldn't mind seeing both Rusyn and Adil start for this one coming in for Burstow and Pritchard. If Ekwah is fit I wouldn't rush him straight back in and keep him on the bench.

    My team would be

    Patterson
    Hume. Ballard. O'Nien. Huggins
    Neil. Jobe
    Roberts. Aouchiche. Clarke
    Rusyn

    Mowbray likes all the young players but knows they're still learning on the job. I think he'll start with a little more experience with Roberts and Dack who'd have made a difference against Cardiff imo.

    Ba and Jobe are great lads but ran out of ideas on Sunday imo.

    Guy walks into a pub with his dog. Orders a beer and says to the barman “I’ve got no money but I’ll show you something better. My dog can speak.” Barman says “Right then, make it talk”

    So the guy says to the dog “You’ve been out to the pub, and had 8 pints of beer, four double whiskys, and a pina colada. How do you feel in the morning?” The dog says “ruff!”

    Barman says “Nah, I’m not having that. Get out!”
    Guy says “No, no, it can talk, give us another chance”

    So this time he says to the dog “You’re teeing off and your ball doesn’t hit the fairway, the green, the bunker or the water. Where is it?”. The dog says “ruff!”

    Barman says “Right, that’s it! Out the pair of you!”
    The guy says “Honestly it can talk, one more chance please”

    So the guy says to the dog “right, this is our last chance before we get chucked out so pay attention. World Cup 1986 in Mexico, who was in goal for Scotland?” The dog says “ruff!”

    The barman has had enough and chucks them both out the pub. The guy & his dog are sat on the pavement outside and the dog turns and says to him “Sorry, I f***ed that up, it was Jim Leighton wasn’t it?”

    Hopefully Dack is available. He'd have made a huge difference on Sunday.
