Move Gooch across and drop Hume for me. I don’t get what people see in Hime. He is out of position far too often.
Monty's post-match rant or rave is most anticipated and always geometrically proportional to the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat.
I'd keep Gelhardt in too he played really well against Hull and scored, can't ask for much more. I was a bit on the fence before that. Agreed about Pritchard too, he was class in league one but hasn't impressed much this season, whether it's because of injuries or not I don't know. Got nowt from his set pieces either, something to think about for the transfer window maybe. Could do with a specialist.
This could be another 4-4 if we defend like we did on Friday. Pritchard for me just ahead of a midfield 2 with either Amad or Roberts on the right, not both. Cirkin if he’s fit also as Gooch was ripped to pieces all game. Hume didn’t have a top game but he is still our best right back imo.
Also on the subject of Hume, it can’t help when you have 2 right winger swapping positions in front of you all game which is what Amad and Roberts were doing. Just my opinion like
I’d be looking at Scott twine, not got in Burnley’s team much and definitely won’t in the premier league
Cracking thread as always RTB. Thanks for your efforts. Another game I'm looking forward to and it's going to be a long day, early start late home. I'm hoping we can tighten up at the back if we do I think we will win this one. Away win for me. Keep the faith lads and lasses.
