    Chance for Pembele. Delighted with that. Up against Summerville is a hell of an ask mind, but go on lad, lets see if you might be what I think you are.

    As for the formation, not for me I am afraid. We will cede too much posession with that formation and likely get pressed high. What do I know though - haway the lads

    Good to get him minutes so he can used to the pace of the league

    Then a good preseason n hopefully he will start showing the potential/ability he showed a couple yrs a go

    Delighted no burstow in the squad

    They have 4 quick talented forward players so I think he’s going for numbers ti stay in the game and hit them with Clarkes speed. The trouble is new formations sometimes make you look like strangers.

    No Burstow is great. Needs to be binned off and never seen in red and white again.

    I know what you mean mate. But honestly, this lad was unreal a couple of year ago pre injury and I dare say would be 1st choice for PSG but for that. He might not be the same player, or might be over egging him, but tonight is a cracking chance to see the level he could be. Fingers crossed.

    Listening to Total Sport on the radio on the way home from work, if I was Gabbiadini I would slit my wrists now!

    Burstow is class. I don’t know what everyone is on about.

    Sorry, had to give the lad a bit of support.

    I'm happy with all of that, pretty much what we were expecting I think.

    We'll create a few chances, especially if we break well, and there's nothing wrong with balls over the top.

    Hopefully Leeds will have one of their games when they try too hard and overplay it ...

    ... but, above all, a couple of goals for our away support win, lose or draw.

    Imagine coming to a club on loan, big chance for you to play big boys football and you have 4 different coaches across the season. It has probably been rough. That said, he hasnt looked very good, but even then not the worst of our new forwards for me. I think his time is up here, but hope he has another loan next season in this league to see what he might bring, just somewhere else.

    I think he needs a move to a European league where its less physical and he can work on the all round aspects of his game

    The barcode hint reveal is very MLS. Bruce has his fingerprints all over it

    I can see a draw tonight, with Sunderland getting a penalty. Just a premonition.
