    Fancied a draw before the kick off so not disappointed. Connolly could do with a goal.

    I think if we're keeping the same shape, I would play Aleksic with Browne in Jobe's position. I would be tempted to rest Mundle as well, Isidor wide left and Connelly up front

    I think we could do with another winger in Jan, mundle Roberts and Watson are good options but wouldn’t mind another

    Get the lad in. Rather that and keep the shape TBH. Or get AA back into the fold. He is decent enough to fill in TBH.

    He brought Hjelde on for Isidor, so what I would class as physical on the bench would be either Johnson or maybe Rusyn

    Not really at it all day and probably got a way with one but on the plus side our manager knows how to get points.
    Take it and move on

    Its a tough league. When boys become men we congratulate. Jobe needs to learn quick as today was a foolish boys tackle. Cost us 2 points.
    10 points clear of 7th (playoff place) but only 4 clear of 3rd (automatic)
    Still all to play for and time the bench got a chance to prove squad depth before January window.

    You’ve got to test players to see their skin. He’s played a European competition so I think he’s got bottle like nerves shouldn’t get to him.

    Browne into jobes role and Milan into riggs

    might be even better than we imagine

    positive is when your team isn’t having the best game (which in this division will happen you won’t dominate 46 games) our defence will get them through it 9 times out of 10.

    I still think we look very very promising this season

    If it was any of our opposition they'd be claiming it was unfair ...

    ... at least we have the humility to accept our fate.

    Aleksic is class, it's just going to be is he ready for the championship - RLB will know more than us as to whether he's ready or not - sometimes you just got to throw them in

    He could , but it's so hard just being a bit player atm. Like all players, he needs a run of games. But when do you fit him in when we've Isador and Mayenda. Good option to have tho.

    If anything he’s more suited to that role than Browne. And Browne is more suited to jobes role than he is riggs imo

    Actually looking forward to seeing Aleksic as been said above the lad comes with good pedigree for a 19 year old, we’d never heard of Hume before he got a look in and look at him now, these scenarios are what you build squads for! Roll on Wednesday

    AA played for U21s today, reports seem to show he had a decent game. At least he's got some minutes in his legs and possibly something to prove to RLB.
