Gunthrie Starting...

 

Let's see what he can do from the off instead of 10-15 minutes from the bench.

 

Even wide right he offers more than DMH, Clarke in for Pritchard hardly a surprise not unhappy with that starting 11.

 

Maybe Stuart is thinking if all our strikers are on at once we must score!

 

I'm bemused by that team selection.

 

It is obvious Hosannah is injured, Donaldson can't play 4 games in a row and folk on here were complaining about DMH on Tuesday. Perhaps Samuels is capable of putting crosses onto the heads of the strikers?

 

Simple game no need to overthink things. Just need a defence that's solid and well drilled and an attack that knows where the goals are. Midfield to link back to front and shoot on site when the chance arises. And a plan (or two)! Optimistic of us getting 3 points today.

 

You should really make more with the break in the weather and get some more cars cleaned before leeds gets locked down.

 

It's going to be an interesting game.

They are a fairly settled team playing a set formation with a manager who's there for the long haul assuming there isn't a run of terrible results.

We're none of those things and especially the weekly "formation lottery" will kill us I fear. Why we can't just stick to one formation with occasional tweaking is beyond me.

 

This chopping and changing of the line up every week needs to stop and stop now!

 

The club is an embarrassment languishing in the lower half of basement league.
Even when fans are allowed back into VP I fear many will have found other means of ‘entertainment’ on a Saturday afternoon and we’ll see crowd levels at 5000 again like the dark days of the early 90’s

 

Can’t tell what shape we’re meant to be playing here and I’m not sure the players can either.
All over the place so far.

 

Between the lines were are getting hammered.

 

It's like they've got 2 extra players when it's in midfield!

 

For all this tinkering he does, why does he never do it during the game. The midfield is just being over run

 

They have. They play 3-5-2 so they will have. That's why 4-3-3 with Clarke and 3 forwards in the team won't work against a packed midfield. Watt and Cooke have no hope of getting forward as they're running all over trying to cover for four forward focused players.

 

French is absolute dog sh!t

 

Lovely corner that. Samuels misses a sitter.

Looks like we’ve found another one.

 

Looking a bit better though

 

He also didnt know middleton had sign from rangers
