    Hoping for the 3 points will gladly take the 1
    I think Monday evening took a lot out of the team and we could see a bit of rotation today
    These next two games could really test the squad

    90mts not 10 or15 mts

    keep saying it he gives all very limited game time no wonder he has not scored.
    Humphrys has not exactly set the world alight with goals.

    I think he'd score more than Humphrys but we'd get less points overall.

    Were not winning this
    Bryne at the back
    Wright and Kav as 10s
    Sarc and Neufville on the bench

    lose Baldwin, Sarc and Pointon from the starting 11 and we look like a mid table side

    Could be a case of keeping it tight until 70 mins and then going for it.

    Only way this team looks remotely dangerous is if Humphrys is on the wing and Kav is up front. But we’re not gonna do that because our back line is incapable of playing it on the deck and they need Humphrys up front so they can hoof it to him all game

    Suspected Byrne would be in for Tilt as its a lot to ask Tilt to go from not playing to 2 games in a few days, it also means Wright can go back to the centre where he is at his best. Not surprised that Sarcevic is given a break but Kavanagh in for him instead of Lapslie is a little bit of a surprise. Big opportunity for Kavanagh to show what he can do in the right sided 10.

    Seen what you’ve done @NorthernMonkey@NorthernMonkey youve wished Baldwin away and Byrne has spawned in his place:confounded:

    Also, have we not learned from the Kav experiment playing as a 10 last time. I’d rather Neufville have stared further forward instead.

    The best we will get is a draw with the team selection.
