    He also fairly regularly tells RLB what he should be doing. Things like "You played 4-4-2 in the last game but obviously you'll need to change that for the next game, what are your thoughts on that?"

    Im abit disappointed Mundles not at least able to make the bench. He's been out a long time now from what was meant to be a 6 week max injury

    Thanks for the reply gents. Odd that he has a recruitment bad agenda as every transfer window reminds me how much better that side of the club is these days compared to any of the other ownerships, where quite frankly it was for the most part ****ing ****e with the odd good buy in there. We are now mostly good with the odd ****e buy!

    As for telling gim what he should be doing. Not sure why managers don't ask reporters what experience they have that makes then know more. Make him look a tit everytime he asks daft questions and he will.stop!

    The club said it was 8 weeks. They said this around 22nd November, so it's still to timescales

    Middle of January, properly skint, weather is ****, opposition are ****, I'm full of cold...its a swerve for me tomorrow. Used to be a special trophy but not anymore, i'd rather have a run in the league cup where I'd be able to afford both the semis and a final showpiece at Wembley, on the off chance we got that far.

    Its a decent chance for the fringe players and returning players to get some much needed time on the pitch however.

    3-1 home win. Looming forward to seeing Samed, hopefully he gets a decent chunk of minutes

    I never want us to lose a game, but if we must, lose this one.

    All about the league this year.


    I think we win 1-0

    Sheff United have made about 7 changes tonight, they’ve got the right idea. Shame that we’ll only make 3 or 4, I don’t think it’s worth the risk personally

    I am old fashioned, strongest team with a couple of fringe players , if two goal ahead then give minutes to more fringe players. League and cup double. Promotion and a place in a European competition, to improve the quality of our Sumer signings.

    Wouldn't mind having a bit of a wildcard like Finn Geragusian on the bench instead of Ba/Benette who will be away this window anyway imo.

    Have I missed something what the hells going on with the ticketing. Went to try and buy a couple and only three blocks in the corner open and only seats at the back left. Are the club deliberately discouraging people from going. Thought we had upped our game with marketing etc. This is bloody silly

    Its crazy. I'm going to wait and see what blocks they open tomorrow but can see loads just saying sod it and not bothering. Games like this they should really be trying to attract young fans and families and people who cant afford season tickets. Genuinely shocked

    Right, so only 2 or 3 changes then? Ideally I'd like to rest Neil, Jobe, Wilson and Mepham but with the paucity of options in CM I think Neil will play.

    Moore
    Hume O'Nien Hjelde Alese
    Neil Jones
    Roberts Aleksic Aouchiche
    Mayenda​

    Subs: Patterson, Mepham, Cirkin, Jobe, Samed, Rigg, Connolly, Isidor, Ogunsuyi

    RLB has said not many changes. Fingers crossed for no injuries
