    on the right where he looks more dangerous
    happy with that tbh both looked best there. glad we’re not risking Roberts with Sheff Utd to come

    Swapping Rigg out hardly a big call tho unless we wanted him to play in crutches ;)

    there’s nobody else to swap for Rigg. Was always going to be AA or Aleksic. That’s not a big call, just a necessary one.

    Either way it’s a kinda exciting team

    Chances for the lads coming in. Looking forward to seeing what they can do. Good luck to them both :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Thought he'd make a few changes.

    Anyone know why Poveda didn't keep his place on the bench?

    Good spot. Feeling like a pointless signing

    That is an attacking front four. Hoping for a good performance from the lads and please, no slow start!

    I’d imagine he’s injured again if Trey is on there.

    or they decided if Roberts is on the bench we don’t need another right winger on there

    Not sure who plays wide out of Aleksic or Aouchiche. Either way, I think we need a very disciplined performance from Jobe in the middle today, taking more of the defensive responsibility that they don't necessarily offer.

    Maybe. Possible he was included on Boxing Day as a last resort, but they'd prefer him to have more training sessions?

    Great thread as usual @RTB, and a great read through, as usual.
    It's become a bit of a match day ritual for me now....read the whole thread leading up to the game rather than dipping in and out over a few days.

    I'm going for a 3 - 1 win to the lads.
    Jobe and Isidor with one each
    Would love to see Trey come off the bench and get one.

    Ha'Way me Bonny Lads.

    Possibility of both I suppose. If Roberts has a tight hammy, I would rather he drop out of the squad and make sure he's ok for the next match rather than take up a place on the bench

    said this before im not confident and this is more so to be an over invested emotional fan

    got to trust the gaffer and the lads
