Start Seri and Morton with Christie in front of Coyle.Watched them today, very pacey when they turn the ball over... Gnonto, Summerville, James...
Is this a game for Vinaigre, who's going to help Coyle...?.. IMO Morton has to start in the middle with Seri
Well bobs never wrong so….
Going to have to play well, but fingers crossed we do…and ****ing hammer them
NaturallyA 93rd minute winner from an own goal for a 1-0 win would do me fine against Leeds.
