    Yep that's more or less what he said. He specifically mentioned Chapman and Odour doing well midweek in central positions and deserved their place in the squad, which is fair enough. But nothing was said of Osadebe, so I do wonder why he's got a place over Pointon who's been a standout player for us.

    Just can’t see any reasoning for having Osadebe as sub over Pointon.
    Admittedly he’s looked a bit off it in the last couple of games but Osadebe hasn’t looked on it at all this season.
    Strange decision indeed.

    It is the ultimate head scratcher. I'll eat my words re Taylor Saturday gone but not to have Bobby at least on the bench is a little baffling.

    If that floats your boat. You have no idea why , neither have I , but let’s get a conspiracy going seems to be your first option . Let the manager do his job ?

    I agree he should be on the bench, but in place of one of the centre backs rather than Osadebe. Unfortunately in this formation he doesn't get in ahead of Walker or Gilliead. I would have liked Wilson on the bench too but looks like GA wants to play tighter

    We really going to overly focus on one individual player again?

    He's a first year first teamer, we can blood him in slowly.

    Osedebe is cover for right back/wingback. Bobby P is almost painfully one footed - his left - so if Halliday gets injured and we are under the pump (which hopefully not) you wouldn’t want to rely on Pointon defending at right back.

    Got my sausage sandwich ready for the game. Morrisons own brand, only £1.50 for a pack. Love it

    Looks like their Main stand is around 65% empty!

    Shall we just leave their centre forward all alone in the middle of the pitch? :scream:

    Osadebe can play in more positions

    No wonder they're going down. They're playing Troy Deeney on the wing… looks like our wingbacks will have plenty of space out wide. But we have to exploit that

    You've just missed Tyler Smith being compared to Dennis Bergkamp. Heard it all now!
