    Wow, didn't see that coming. Aleksic or Watson? Just play both.

    What's your alternative <laugh>

    Isidor, Le Fée and Roberts doesn't look too rancid to me.

    That's certainly interesting. Don't like the look of the midfield without Jobe.

    Why not, in for a penny in for a pound.

    If we are suprised, Norwich won't know what to think.

    Then Roberts, le Fee and Isidor to.come of the bench second half!

    Looking forward to tonight.

    Glad the serb is in, hopefully he can show what he's about. He's looked half decent the times we've seen him.

    Wonder if Mepham is going to go after that rat Sainz after what happened at our place.

    Well it's a chance for a few to show what they are made of. Let's see what aleksic can do a lot have wanted him to start so here's his chance. No problem with Watson I'm sure the lad will give it his all. Stay in the game and Roberts le Fee and isador to come on.

    There isn’t one mate, we go with what we’ve got

    A little bit of quality on there but it’s poor overall, need it a lot stronger in the POs

    It'll be interesting to see how we get on, don't think we've won a game without Jobe this season

    Gan on RLB lad, you show em <cheers>

    I like he has picked a team nobody predicted, has given Aleksic his chance as many ask for, and the team and bench is not what folk wanted <cheers><cheers> Made me chuckle anyway.

    Pleased he has shown trust in Watson. 18 year olds dont throw the towel in on footy in my experience. Good chance for him to show the fans his head is still here, hope he takes it. I look forward to the reaction on his first mistake though :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Browne has a big chance tonight

    I like the teamsheet and people saying bench is honking like we can control it (we’ve got Roberts, le fee and Isidor to make an impact)

    Mayenda in for Isidor. Capable
    Hjelde in for Jobe and Browne into midfield. Both capable
    Watson in for Mundle. Definitely capable

    only unknown is aleksic atm, but someone on Twitter said it’s like a cup team and others saying how poor it is

    we’ve rotated some very good players in

    Personally wouldnt have played Watson however I would love him to prove me wrong. Bonus would be him getting the winner.
