I’m all for changing the team and rotating but changes to the forwards, midfield and defenders all at the same time?

You can change the teams whilst keeping some continuity.

Worried about midfield and feel like there’ll be a massive void between evans/onien and Stewart.

I couldn’t agree more

Two injuries has precipitated 5 (I believe) changes? How does that work out

Do Neil, Embleton and Pritchard really need a rest this early in the campaign? Pritchard has barely played

seems like change for the sake of change to keep people happy to me
 
A little bit of a strange team, not gonna lie. AOB probably the standout one, I just don't think he offers enough in behind the striker, especially when we have Embleton & Pritchard. I only really see him as a replacement for Stewart at this point.

I get that we need to rotate at times but are Neil & Embleton really more fatigued than McGeady, for example? Maybe they are, obviously I don't know that.

I really like Evans anyway, I'm excited to see Huggins & Broadhead. It's just I'd rather an actual AM than AOB. That's not to say he won't play well tonight, I just like a bit of guile in the middle and think Embleton & Neil have been superb this season; and that Pritchard is definitely a 10 too.
 
I think LJ has earned a reprieve this season in relation to his starting line up.
It's a good chance for some of the fringe players to stake a claim, rest the first team and if needed can bring them on later.

4-2-3-1 with O'Brien behind Stewart.
 
That isn’t the team I was expecting.

It will be interesting to see what the formation and tactics are going to be.
