    That’s one hell of a lot of pace on that bench too!

    I was always expecting us to play three CBs. And, as a consequence, I was always expecting us to only play two of the three CMs (to play all three of them, in addition to three CBs, just leaves us far too short offensively). But I was never expecting PEH to be the one missing out.

    [Oh OK, he's a bit ill. Fine.]

    As for Stephens...

    Ah, Pierre has been ill. Fair enough.

    Just seen Hoj is ill, that explains it. Prowse was ill in pre season: Clearly some biological warfare to gain the captaincy.

    Rule 17: It’s a new season. Everyone starts with a clean slate. Last seasons mistakes stay in last season.

    Yeah that explains Pierre.

    No idea why we've selected a competition winner at cb though.


    Anyway, time to get soaked walking to the ground. UTFS n all that.

    Do we know if Long is fit? Just wondering if Ralph sees Obafemi ahead of him in the pecking order.

    I'm assuming we have Stephens so we can move an extra player into midfield to try and overrun Burnley?

    I think it depends on who impressed in training. Besides, we may need the Long irritation factor next Friday so not a bad idea to save his legs ;-)

    Bit of a blow not having Hoj. Still, not a bad team, and flair off the bench.

    We may struggle in the midfield with the 5 at the back and no PEH, but l am sure however that RH has a plan... :emoticon-0100-smile

    Pumped, in Romsey for a change, now missing my BEIN sports coverage l have in Dubai

    No Hoj is a big blow. Also, very surprised that Stephens is in ahead of Yoshi.
