WTF
LJs massively growing on me but it’s like he’s looked at this board all day and decided to pick a team to fuck off as many people as possible.

No Neil, Embleton and Wright in over Alves and I bet we’ll play narrow the 4-2-2-2 thing he tried last year. Any bets he makes trip subs on the hour...

I’m ok with that team tbh.

Neil sounded leggy in the last game and Embleton wasn’t as prominent as he usually is - taking the young lads out and giving them a break will do them good.

Looks like he’s put a team out that want to win by a few. Really attacking side that.

Think it’ll be 48-0 personally

Thats because Embo was played out of position to play Pritchard, which was a waste of time

Im sure we will win but that’s a bizarre team IMO

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
 
Pritchard, Neil and Embleton all out is very surprising. I was expecting one of them benched max. Maybe the energy exerted at the weekend is a factor, as well as Portsmouth coming up?

IF this team is good enough to win then it looks a great move, key players fresh for a big away game.
 
Fair enough Cirkin and Doyle are injured but no idea why he's felt the need to rest Neil and Embleton. Thought we'd seen the last of O'brien.
 
Don’t agree with that many changes mind, and if you feel you NEED to make that many then I think protecting the keeper and defenders should be up on the list. McGeady needs a bit time out as well.
 
Clearly resting a couple, wouldn’t have started O’Brien but guess he earned a start after a hat trick in the cup
 
I'd rather put O'nien at centre back and have Neil alongside Evans. Bailey Wright is an accident waiting to happen, especially in these conditions.
