    I had also agreed with Roker report. Ross clearly has little faith in Hume at the minute. I also wanted Dobson with Power but it still should be enough for a win. Decent bench again.

    This is who McLaughlin has to defend today:

    I dont think little faith is the right way to describe it. The lads very young still, im sure Ross is just easing him in how he should be instead of just throwing him in the deep end

    Yeah maybe. I hope though that a left back on loan in the next couple of weeks is a priority as I can't stand shoving right footers over there. Completely limits our attacks down the left.

    Yes i hate that aswell, they is no natural balance in the team. Flanagans left footed but i also have little faith in him.
    To be where we are in the season with only a kid as a natural left back who was 3rd choice last season is a joke.

    I think Maguire will float about behind McNulty in a #10 role.

    3 defenders, 6 midfielders and a striker on the pitch. Sound.

    This is close to the team/system I was hoping for.

    Above all I'm pleased Ozturk is playing, he won't allow Marquis to bully him.

    With that side I'd be surprised if we don't score at least two goals, we just need to go for a second as soon as we get the first.

    The crowd will collectively sigh if we sit back.

    McGeady should play as high up the pitch as possible because he'll occupy two defenders.

    The attacking midfield is the key to the game imo, they all need to graft and take responsibility.

    Haway Lads!!!

    Not much to choose between these two teams, if anything I would say on paper their attack has an edge on ours, but we will see, pleased to see Grigg has been benched, but we need a performance from Maguire to justify his inclusion. The team needs to get the crowd going from the off , and three points on the board will make our start look respectable. I'm going for 3-2, hoping for 3-0, ha-way the lads.
