    Thankyou RTB... Expecting a tough, but entertaining,and exciting game but fancy a rare 2 win start to a season, and maybe early top place.

    I think Jobe will cause more problems from the deeper role and Mayenda will stretch the game

    Mayenda just needs to improve his hold up play, other aspects of his game was ok vs cardiff

    Looking forward to getting back to the SoL, shame it’s an early KO on a Sunday - ****e. Expecting a really tough game and would take a point.

    Aye can see both sides. I thought Mayenda showed enough to get another chance. He was getting shots off and battling away. Couple games and he calms down a bit we may well see a massive uplift from him.

    Exactly, back to back games starting will give him a massive boost as well

    If he has 4 more shots again i reckon he will score 1 of them

    I was encouraged by Mayenda in the Cardiff game, plenty to work on but he got himself into a decent position and fluffed his lines, which is much better than not getting into position in the first place. Looked like he tried to shoot on his left with no backlift and it went wrong.

    Aye you’d hope so. Just a tap in, deflection what ever. He showed enough.

    Because of personal matters this will be my first game for around 5 year, will be my first time of seeing some of our players (other than tv ) looking forward to it,

    Barry Bannan to come out playing the bagpipes and to eat haggis at half time. 7/1 odds.

    Aye, hopefully just a bit nerves and he settles more for the next one.

    What's he had, 8-9 games ?
    Be nice to see him get a goal or two against Wednesday.

    RLB:
    • 1 player in 1 player out, striker in (in a few days - hopefully)
    • Clarke and Ekwah still with us and available to play
    • Poveda trained this week but still not 100% ready
    • I'm looking forward to the game at the SoL
    • When the crowd are behind you it can influence the action on the pitch
    • Right back cover - there are other solutions, we could play with 3 centre backs
    • Mayenda is improving and needs game time to improve and gain experience
    • Jobe is better in midfield (rather than up front)

    Think this will be a tough test for us - hopefully much better attempt than last year but they are on a roll (no pun intended with their manager)

    Can't remember the last time Prutton tipped us to win!!
