    When Jones isn’t in the side we are noticeably weaker. Still should have enough to beat these mind. Good to see O’Brien back.

    Jones on the bench!!!!!

    That has to do with his missus being close to dropping

    I'm supportive of Jones on bench. Just back from a hammy injury, good idea to keep him fresh for final half hour to run at tired legs.

    He'll have greater impact coming on for final half hour than Gooch would have, and Gooch gets a chance to show why he should still be first choice ahead of him.

    I have no issue with this. I think he was almost non existent second half last week - not a dig at him as he was kicked from pillar to post with minimal protection from the ref . Bring him on second half for fresh legs.

    Hope he doesn't go off the boil like Gooch did
    Gooch was on cracking form scoring loads. Had his first bairn and took him ages to get back to form.

    Plenty of energy in midfield there.

    AOB and Wyke from the start. Big chance for Gooch.

    Jones will cause carnage as a sub against tiring legs.

    Haway lads! Get into em!

    Fine with the team. Johnson not overloading Jones/Humes comeback from injury and getting more match fitness into the likes of O’Brien. 3rd game in 8 days and just had a pretty intense one on Monday so rotation is a luxury this squad has. Challenging game but no excuses not to win, let’s focus on our job and see what happens elsewhere after the game, haway lads

    I don't think Jones has a solid 90 minutes in him after his layoff. And the last thing we want is another setback for him.

    LJ had a choice today of 60 mins of Jones and 30 mins of Gooch, or 60 mins of Gooch and 30 mins of Jones. Whilst the former seems more attractive, you've got to think Jones will have tonnes of impact on the final third of the game, at a time when we would otherwise start to slow down.

    Can have everything going through McGeady for first 60, then Jones for final 30.

    It's hard to predict what LJ will do - even I could guess Parky's team every week <laugh>

    Surely Jones is on the bench as its a lot easier to get to the hospital from there than if playing

    No way is Power playing in a 3. 442 or LJ's 4222 with Power at RB

    AOB seems to get the best out of Wyke. Does a lot of the dirty work.
    Hopefully see Charlie back on the score sheet today

    Yep. We need big Charles to get back in the goals. We need him firing to get in the top two
