    I like that team on paper. Might take a while to settle. I know THB has had a dodgey start to the season, but he is more the future than Stephens so I’d have probably given him a bit longer in the starting 11. Likewise difficult decisions at fullback as Sugarawara has been really good, but KWP just too good to leave out, but leaves us a bit unbalanced playing him at LB. On my way to the game. Not a fan of early KOs…COYR!

    Sexy looking team although putting Ugo in for his debut is a bit of a risk imo. Have a feeling he'll either be MotM or get sent off.

    Potentially very exciting team. Just want them to go for it, that's all.

    Did I read somewhere this is exactly what he did at Swansea, results will improve with a slight change in style too, and then he reverts back to his favourites and 'winning tactics'. Maybe it was Swansea fans being bitter, maybe I'm just miserable today?

    There is something I don't trust about the whole setup.

    Martin has made all the right tough decisions. Fair play. We might get stuffed yet but it’s what I would have done. Atmosphere in Northam fanzone is brilliant btw

    Really love that line up, all 4 players deserve to be dropped.

    Good line-up but still don't think we'll get a sniff today

    Think that is probably our best team at the moment, but can’t see much from today. Hopefully don’t get smashed and then Martin changes back for more winnable games

    I hadn’t noticed that, thought he would be on the bench. Think he lacks the physicality to play in the PL, has felt a yard behind the game so far. Bit harsh to write him off this early as it’s his first taste of PL football but unfortunately we need results and can’t afford to carry players if they aren’t performing

    Picked up a slight knock during the international break apparently.

    I like that team too - more protection for the back 4, and plenty attacking options on the bench. COYS.

    Away fans not being in the Northam looks even weirder on TV than in person

    No giant flag today?
