    Think we would be more suited to switching back to a back 4 in this one

    Patto
    Hume ballard o9 huggins
    Ekwah neil
    Roberts pritchard clarke
    Jobe

    Dont like pritchard starting 2 games in a short space of time however we absolutely cant drop him with the way he has played last 2 games. I like Jobe up top with Pritchard in behind, Jobe will run in behind to give Pritch the space he needs to do the damage

    Harsh on Seelt but dont see the point in starting 5 defenders against this lot

    Be a tough game and as others have said a point wouldn't be the worst outcome

    Think so too.

    Just looked and a win would turn out away form round significantly. No wins in 5 currently.

    Could go

    ...................patto

    .......seelt.....Ballard.....09

    Hume............................Huggins

    ................Neil.......Jobe


    Roberts............Rusyn........Clarke

    Like a hybrid 343? Harsh on Pritchard, but gets us right up the pitch?

    Agreed. Match them with a 4 2 3 1 and beat them on quality.

    And would get us above West Brom for a day at least but adds pressure onto them. Considering the table two weeks ago getting above or level with West Brom is significant progress

    Fluid Clocky, it was like quicksilver.
    Every time I worked out our formation it changed again. Coupled with players changing roles it was the most enjoyable match I have watched in years.
    I always watch the full 90 again, win loose or draw, and I was still struggling to understand it even with the pause button :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    I really appreciate how clever Mike Dodds was on Tuesday and how bitter Farke is for the comments he made post match

    Tough game today. That being said, I really fancy us to get the 3 points (and a clean sheet). Going 0-2 win for the lads. Think we could all do with a good result!

    Yeah, about time we got an away win on the board. Sheff Wed was the last one

    Scored 2 goals in the last 5 away games (2 draws, 3 defeats)

    Time to fix that blip

    Ba up front and Pritchard behind him? If we are going down that route I would rather Rusyn imo

    Pritchard is on a roll, like to see him score today ...

    ... a bit like DHL, his deliveries seem to be improving.

    Ba is so hot and cold that he will probably be brilliant today

    I guess it’s going to be quite fluid. Which I like.

    it’s very odd tho that Dodds, English, proctor and murty have been on the pitch for 15 mins whilst the lads get changed. Is that normal?
