    It’s only normal to want to see your favourite players/tactics/substitutions …

    … but there’s only one neck on the block.

    For all we know Le Fèe wants to continue there and RLB agrees for the moment. Perhaps Mepham has said he won’t sign permanently.

    Why would you start with Mundle, when he has been out for nearly 4 months, I would ease him in, not saying you are wrong, mind. I would agree with the Rigg part.

    Just based on the comment RLB made in his press conference....Mundle is ready. If he can come off the bench,he can start ,even if only for the first half.

    I am happy with the team personally. Not sure the last performance warranted anyone dropping out personally.

    The idea of freshening up is understandable, but so is consistency. Players build relationships in the positions, often in pairs and threes. Freshening up can be disruptive.

    I dont think Rigg needs dropping either. His contribution to the teamwork is still high, even if the glory taking contributions arent. When others arent able to do the hard yards, he is often doing it. The best teams have always earned the right to olay football by having the best intensity and workrate first, Rigg epitomises our efforts in that respect. Along with Hume, Neil, ONien and Jobe he sets a standard early in games that creates a platform. For me anyway.

    Hoping we see a strong and professional performance today. Keep the ball, make them chase and harry, then pick the time to go forward. I think we have overplayed the ball over the top a bit recently. With Isidor it is a great option, but we just need to use it more carefully for me. Fancy Jobe for a goal today, no idea why, but maybe he is due one. Isidor as well. A comy 2-0 would be really welcome and maybe 20 mins in for Mundle. Wouldnt mind another look at Aleksic too, I am starting to get quite excited by his cameos.

    Same team again

    I think that puts to bed what anybody here says about minutes and fatigue

    the data and fitness in our club clearly see the data and are able to identify if players are red zoning

    I'd have potentially started Mundle and Mayenda. Still happy though.

    Rigg has a decent effort blocked after being set-up by Enzo Le Fee
