    As it will be a bunch of lads not used to playing as a team normally I will go sensible and just go 1-3 to the cuddlies. Mundle, Rusyn and Triantis.

    And as always cheers RTB.

    We have a problem of our own making here.

    Ba and Mundle have both done enough to merit a place and are close to the first team imo.

    If not for them we could have gone with a front two of Rusyn and Mayenda with a winger/midfield supporting.

    Mayenda would probably benefit from another game, in quick succession, but Rusyn needs a chance to prove himself.

    Ok let's go 45 minutes each <laugh>

    Not really failed to score in 8 of the last 9 games, 6 straight defeats no goals scored, should have left at the end of last season if he had Browne would still be with us. One dimensional dull ****e he played, the vast majority are over the moon tonight also got tired of listening to the BS he came out with.
    Changes the complexity of tomorrow we may even shoot, on the back of him going there has been a decent uptake on ticket sales for tomorrow

    Fair enough. 4 days into the new season, after having all summer to sort themselves out, isn't bizarre.

    Think the name Peter Ridsdale might be the reason

    Random unrelated tidbit.

    Flew from Edinburgh last year and decided to drive up the A68 because I've only ever done the coast road. In Northumberland and closeish to the border we drove through the village of Ridsdale, couldn't help but think how could a nob like that have ancestors who came from a lovely place like this.

    Brilliant quote...

    RLB: CHANGES TO BE MADE

    Regis Le Bris has confirmed that the starting eleven for the Preston game will be different to the lineup that started against Cardiff on Saturday. Le Bris said that everyone involved will have a big role to play over the course of the campaign.

    IMPORTANT GAME
    "There was a difference between the first and second game they played together, from Eldense to Bradford. I hope the third one will be better because they need time to build the references to play together and later in the season, they can take another step. The fact that it is a competitive game will be helpful for the players, I think. With a season of 46 games, many of these players are going to be involved. There are five, six, seven players in the team who are going to have a huge importance to the squad. So it's an important game for us, for them, the club.”

    CONFIDENT
    “Yes, I am confident with all of them. If they have a good mindset, they are talented with different kind of profiles. If they want to improve, they are involved in the squad project, many things could happen really. In my career I've observed many evolutions that are incredible. I believe in development and improvement and sometimes it's crazy what they can become.”

    Perhaps more, some of our fringe players will run their socks off and be tiring after an hour ...

    ... so will Preston so the perfect time to get him on, he should be able to last half an hour.

    Does this go to penalties at full time if it's level.?

    I like that, no faffing about. Get these early rounds sorted and we all move on.

    There is a very slim chance he will make the bench but most likely will be available in the next week. He was very unfit when he signed
