    Our squad is strong, especially when you think that Pritchard, Huggins, Wright and Michut aren't even on the bench

    (Neither are Dajaku or Matete like but I'm not arsed about them)

    Last 20 for Stewart I reckon. Ballard only if we have a lead to defend (or if there is an injury)

    Never like the idea of disrupting the back four unless you have to

    **** it, if we are 5-0 up at HT then play who you like.........

    Quite like the look of it today. Can drop into a 3 man midfield if needed to and play 4321 or keep the 4231 we usually play

    Wanted more changes given the mess of that second half last week. It's 1 change only which is a forced one. Cirkin should be starting, could argue Roberts too.

    I’m interested to see how we go without Pritchard. Clearly he’s our most creative force but his absence might force us to get the ball to Amad and Clarke sooner.

    Would obviously rather he was fit, will just be interesting

    Hopefully we start on the front foot anyway. Bench is super strong.

    Definitely Cirkin. No idea why Huggins isn't even getting in the squad. Not sure what Clarke has done to warrant a recall, he stank the place out when he came on on Monday
    I'd have gone Ba in midfield with Evans, Diallo and Roberts wide. Really hope Stewart gets more than 5 mins at the end

    Just hope we start well, would be nice to be ahead and give Stewart and Ballard some minutes in the second half

    Tactically prichard will be a huge miss. We have no other players who understands the game as a 10 like him.

    no, which is why I hope Embleton has a different role rather than trying to emulate him. Dropping in to make a three and helping spread it wide then getting forward, rather than staying in the hole like Pritchard does so well

    There are a couple of lucky lads starting today. Luckily we tend to lose one win one. I'm expecting a win today against these.
