    Good to see so many changes. Get some minutes in their legs, while protecting the regular starters. I see LND has been given a night off too.

    Good man management from the gaffa

    Just noticed he isn't on the bench either. Thought he would have got some minutes tonight.

    I see the league cup ain't a priority. That's quite a bit weaker than I would have liked but will get behind the ones on the pitch and hope we can get through.

    League has to take priority, cos we do not have a big first team squad

    Nice little bit on Barry Bannan there, the main man obviously. Please tell me Hinchcliffe isn't on comms :emoticon-0127-lipss

    I hope this doesn't turn into a Barry Bannan love in again

    It's ludicrous how such a player is constantly built up to be a genius ...

    ... the bloke is playing in the third division and no one seems desperate to prise him away from Wednesday.

    Part of me is curious to see Roberts up front, I know he's no target man, but had pace, skill and can finish.

    Could be an interesting option

    Have they mentioned we aren't in the same ****ing league as them anymore? They are building this as a battle of the L1 giants ffs.

    I'd have no problem with that, I thought Neil would try him instead of Diamond in pre-season.

    Sohna is a player I like the look. He looks like a player who glides around the game like a Roller, but u23 is no guide to how he might show up. Very young and inexperienced, and I cant expect him to control a game like this, but I would like to see him get on the ball and get his head up. He might have a bright future, but a lot of learning and experience yet to gain.

    Looks a very tidy player, a bit sideways and backwards passes at times but Id be sending him out on loan for 3 months to L2 to see how he does. Our best u21 players shouldn't be playing for our u21s (if that makes sense).

    Looks like a fluid 3/4/3/ formation or a straight 4 /4 /2 to me a decent second string , O/9 and Diamond being the ones to watch, we need them to answer their critics, they are both capable, but recent displays need to be improved on. A goal or two would help. OaU

    Looks like we will cop it like the pre season friendlies, should have had another striker in by now, unless they make changes as well. get through though and a big home draw hopefully.
