    That makes me mildly less worried. Our best hope today for me is high pressing their defence who overplay but they may destroy us in other ways if we fail.

    Rigg, Ba and Mundle nust surely give Burstow some chances ...

    ... the lad really needs to get the spring out of his back.

    I didn't want him to start but think he'll only play 50/60 minutes.

    If it's 0-0 there's a chance we can snatch a win.

    4-3-3 with Rigg, Jobe and Neil as the midfield 3?

    He needs to take his ****ing pipe out and his slippers off as well! Don't know what Aouchiche has to do to start a game

    Would love to know the reasoning behind Burstow starting and Aouchiche being on the bench. We're starting with 10 men.

    I want to see some footage of training where Burstow is banging the goals in, my imagination isn't up to the task.

    Midfield 3 with an average age of about 19. Glad Mundle and Ba are wide that’s our best options at the minute in my opinion, Rusyn should be starting though. Fastest player in our squad benched away at the team who have more possession than anyone else.

    Positives from that team imo:
    - Rigg starting again is huge, he can be a difference maker already
    - delighted that ballard is playing
    - buzzing for neil being captain
    - pace in the wide areas

    Negatives
    - no idea why burstow is starting, been shocking this season n shouldnt be starting ahead of any of our players
