    I hope the players aren't going out there with their heads full of overly complicated instructions that sound great on paper but end up confusing things.

    One of these days we might see Hemir and Rusyn start together, good to see Hemir start and he's clearly impressing in training, still baffles me how the club doesn't see what Rusyn offers though.

    we might aswell not turn up and just sit in the academy until the season is over way the fans are going on, hopefully the players turn up with a better mind set

    Well it’s not the lineup I would have selected but I’m not a manager/head pack.

    Gary Bennett reckons Style is on the right which seems a bit odd.

    Anyway, just hoping for a much improved performance. That’s all I ask.

    That's what I thought. Styles left, Jobe right, Mundle and Hemir up top. Not particularly keen on that set up though.

    Rusyn left and Hemir through the middle was such an obvious option in the absence of Clarke so of course we play a defensive midfielder wide left

    There's a colonel of truth in that. He's a top ranking player.

    Only good thing with that line-up is Norwich won't have a clue what shape we are playing either!

    Hope Hemir steps up and takes his chance instead of plodding around 2 yards off the pace

    Hopefully he's set it up 4-2-3-1 with Styles and Neil protecting the defense. Just seems a bit lop sided again

    When I was a kid a bunch of lads would gather with a ball, the 2 best players would take turns choosing a player until we had 2 equal teams. No formations just get out there and go for it. Looks like that old system has not died.
