    Hopefully that’s the plan but I would like to seem Aouchiche and Rusyn given a good run to pick up some consistency. I think we should be trying to see what Rusyn is like so it can be factored into the summer plans. Burstow won’t be here next season, so I think it’s time to bench him unless needed.

    Perhaps we need to honour an agreement with Chelsea mate, honestly no idea why he's playing ...

    ... but I'll be shouting my head off watching today as usual.

    For all I can understand the clamour that Aouchiche & Rusyn should be playing I am quite relaxed about that team. Seems a decent set up. And with the aforementioned 2 on the bench they are quite nice speedy players to bring on if needed.

    Hoping the lad does well today but can’t understand this burstow persistence, literally can’t think of one reason he should start. Never bought into the jobe has agreed a certain amount of minutes chat but bloody hell the lad is nearly immune to being dropped. AA very unlucky not to start and don’t get how rusyn never gets a fair run.

    That said congrats to Dan Neil on captaining the lads, good achievement and well deserved after the season he’s had. Haway lads

    And talking of Aouchiche and Rusyn, we need more attacking players to build up understandings and partnerships. Get on the same page and learn the type of service each other likes best. I shouldn’t need to be saying this so late in the season tbf but a fresh start for everyone for a new game.

    Haway lads!

    Hoping Jobe is playing defensive midfield, starting Burstow is a bit odd mind. He offers nothing at all.

    Yeah we've completely failed this season to let players build understandings in attack. Constantly putting different players in the team and playing people out of position where possible. Been no consistency.

    There’s no way Burstow will score a hat trick.

    Can’t believe he didn’t pass that. Shocking.

    Really poor from burstow after initial good work. Didn’t even think about looking up.

    interesting to see Rigg in the 10

    Hope the lad answers it himself but it’s a mystery to me. Why Burstow
