    Strongest bench in the history of league 1, no doubt about it. Surprised Matete not starting, mind.

    I'm surprised Matete isn't starting. He's going to so why delay it, not like he hasn't been playing regularly.

    So is Winchester playing as a third centre half and Gooch as a wing back?

    Pritchard coming back is significant imo ...

    ... I think we'll go for it, that side is easily good enough.

    Cowardly selection. Pathetic really from the remaining coaches

    Disappointed with that like. Was hoping for at least 2 of Roberts, Matete, Clarke or Defoe to start.

    Don’t want to dampen the mood but not replacing Flanagan and then having to play winchester at CB is a bit crap.

    As is the caretaker essentially saying to the lads that lost 6-0 to give it another go

    very conservative opening 11.
    Looks way too narrow up top
    No idea if that’s a four at the back.. or Winniesta is part of a 3? time will tell

    TBF, do that and fail to win convincingly and you've just written your own 'goodbye' letter.

    Three points is what matters, not indulging the mood of the supporters.

    I'd love to go crazy, with the selection, but we need to win ...

    ... and that team would've been perfectly acceptable a fortnight back tbf.

    I do agree with smug, just a bit disappointing is all.

    The irony isn’t lost on me that the opposition include a centre back we sold to them when we don’t have enough center backs to start let some for sub cover

    Does anybody know where Arbie is? No CB on bench is a risk so I assume it means injured again as he had made the bench a few times no?
