    So 3 at the back?

    Clarke and 09 wingbacks?

    Curious how we are going to line up, could be a back 4 with 09 dropping in, could be a back 3 with 09 on the right.

    One thing for certain, if we don't know then Plymouth won't have a clue

    Surpsied he has went with the back 3 again. Started to leak a few goals and opportunities. They will have to be improved to keep a clean sheet

    I reckon as been said before, O'Nien is taking up Gooch's role RWB. I'm not a fan of this system with using non defenders in the positions especially at centre half but it's working up to now and Neil is more experienced than me at these things. Here's to another 3 points!!

    Bath must be carrying a knock, we look much more solid with him in the side

    As Smug said still no Pritchard (or Mcgeady) we are doing this the hard way!

    Not sure if Plymouth have a big lad up front, but Batth is our best header of the ball at the back.

    Not really, Neil might want to play 3 at the back again. Can bring batth on if we are struggling in defence

    IMO the team selection, in games like these, isn't the critical issue ...

    ... it's the attitude and courage of the players.

    Whichever team we put out should be capable of winning providing we play as well as we can and that takes nerve.

    We need to put Plymouth under pressure and take the initiative, do that and they'll wobble.

    Haway the Lads, big match bit win!!!

    Plymouth have set up 3:5:2 so we’re just going head to head.
    Players need to start like they did against Shrewsbury but keep at it for 95 minutes, not 35 minutes then10 at the end

    See Hardie they're main striker is back but Cpt Edwards is missing.
    Wonder if they're taking a big risk with Hardie as he was doubtful for this game.

    He's not fit according to the local press, I doubt he'll last 90 minutes ...

    ... the injury is a thigh strain so it'll hopefully go again.

    Thought we might've gone 4-3-3 today with Batth back in.

    I’m really surprised he’s went with Cirkin and Winchester in a back 3… Can’t believe it actually. Hopefully it’s the correct decision.

    Nervous and excited at the same time, this is an attacking team from a very brave manager, I'm more than happy with the team which could give the lads the confidence boost they need to go out and outplay anybody we come up against from now to the end of the season OaU..

    Apparently it is 4-4-2 with O’Nien left back and Cirkin Center back. Which is mental :D
