    If Ballard is fit, I'd prefer to go with - Pembele - Hume - Ballard - Hjelde

    Pembele looks ok going forward but can't defend for toffee.
    Burstow offers absolutely nothing.

    Totally agree mate its more important now than when we are at Wembley, as now is when the true support is needed most

    We are in the clarts defensively tomorrow thats for sure but we aren't facing Real Madrid. We are in there with a fighting shot despite our injuries. I reckon we will nick this. KTF

    In his current role he gets slightly more than his fair share wrong in terms of lineups and tactics so opens himself up to criticism, but there's no doubt the lads have done their best under him. There's been no lack of application and effort just confusion at times.

    I'm keen for him to be replaced as head coach asap but it never occurred to me for a second we should get rid of him, he just needs to go back to his old role. I imagine he'd be happy with that.

    I’d agree. Styles is not a left back so that’s the bit that worries me most of all.
    I don’t dislike the idea of a back 3 with Pembele and Styles as wing backs. I arguably suits our defenders better assuming Ballard is fit.

    We've clearly got issues defensively and they're in ok form, but I we're much better than our recent results suggest.

    2-1 Mundle and a collectors item from Hemir.

    I have a horrid feeling we’ll get battered.

    Hope I’m wrong, just please please please, no burstow, he’s had enough chances by now.

    Up early, the sun is shining.

    We may have injuries but look at what we achieved last year when we were decimated by injuries.

    Problems at the back then sod it let's just go all out attack and score more than we concede.

    4-3 to us.

    Haway me bonny lads

    Yeah that would kill all buzz at 14.00. Play Joke up top and get AA into the team.

    I would genuinely take a point, if it was offered to me now.
