    There's a long list of potential teeth-gritters in their squad

    Jordy Clasie, a bit of a flop at Southampton
    Bruno Martins Indi, who did alright at Stoke
    Ibrahim Sadiq, because we seem to bring out the worst in former Danish Superliga players at the moment
    Sam Westerveld being called up at the last second to play in goal and have a worldie on his debut, drawing comparisons with his dad
    Ruben van Bommell going Mortal Kombat on somebody, just like his dad in the 2010 World Cup final
    Wouter Goes, just for the headlines
    Dave Kwakman, because is there a worse player to score a stoppage time winner against you than someone named Kwakman?
    Lequincio Zeefuik, because it turns out there is a worse player to score a stoppage time winner against you than somebody named Kwakman

    Nice to see Odobert back so soon. I thought he’d have been out for longer. <ok>

    Werner hat trick incoming tonight. COYS

    The back 5 gives me cause for concern. Elsewhere, looks ok.

    COYS!

    Bold starting XI from the manager
    (some to be expected if he wants to get
    serious squad rotation up and running
    before mid december) .

    Several players in that team are going to
    have to seriously front up tonight.

    A Moore goal and Dragusin still on the pitch, would have been the perfect start!

    van Bommell off

    Now there's a sentence we should have heard in the 2010 World Cup final

    BBC and Talksport both have Man Utd on the radio. That’s annoying

    The craziest thing is even the crowd didn’t give it much of a “go ooonnn”, everyone just knew he’d fluff it.

    Unsurprisingly the performance so far is that of a side that’s made 9 changes. It’s not quite Coventry bad (yet) but it’s not great either.
