    I would have liked to see Neufville there. His pace would have given us an extra dimension and perhaps would link better with Halliday.

    Hope you’re right buddy, but that line up looks weak

    McIntyre is twice the defender of Byrne. Strange lineup all round.

    We haven’t won a league game that Neil Byrne has featured in either this season. There's a reason some have dread when his name appears.

    If you put McIntyre in the side then you are either playing him on the right which is the wrong side for him or you play Wright on the right which is not his best role. McIntyre also got done for pace against Doncaster.

    Very worried about the "passing" from the back.

    Really hope Power and Metcalfe are available for the ball otherwise the crowd will get neck-ache by half time.

    I will happily take a point today - just hope the activity behind the scenes is in full flow (both out and in) so we can add some real options from the bench. Looking a bit creaky today, but will never underestimate the GA factor
