There's a long list of potential teeth-gritters in their squad Jordy Clasie, a bit of a flop at Southampton Bruno Martins Indi, who did alright at Stoke Ibrahim Sadiq, because we seem to bring out the worst in former Danish Superliga players at the moment Sam Westerveld being called up at the last second to play in goal and have a worldie on his debut, drawing comparisons with his dad Ruben van Bommell going Mortal Kombat on somebody, just like his dad in the 2010 World Cup final Wouter Goes, just for the headlines Dave Kwakman, because is there a worse player to score a stoppage time winner against you than someone named Kwakman? Lequincio Zeefuik, because it turns out there is a worse player to score a stoppage time winner against you than somebody named Kwakman
Any team news yet? Out tonight so won’t be able to watch the game but gonna try and listen on the radio (if it’s on)
Nice to see Odobert back so soon. I thought he’d have been out for longer. Werner hat trick incoming tonight. COYS
Bold starting XI from the manager (some to be expected if he wants to get serious squad rotation up and running before mid december) . Several players in that team are going to have to seriously front up tonight.
The craziest thing is even the crowd didn’t give it much of a “go ooonnn”, everyone just knew he’d fluff it.
Unsurprisingly the performance so far is that of a side that’s made 9 changes. It’s not quite Coventry bad (yet) but it’s not great either.
