    Sticking with the same two target men, and central midfield system that saw us out classed to a team near the bottom full of injuries. What can go wrong against one of the best teams in the league?

    I read the formation as 4-3-3 McCartan playing an attacking midfield role.

    Wow what a bench. Is he hoping the pitch is going to dry out to Brazil like standards in the second half?

    Think we must be nearing how Stuart understands his players attributes and how they understand what he is after. This is just the game to test what positive impact he has had on the squad in the short time he has spent with them. Doubt he can really get much more from them.

    Let’s hope it works, but like the team I’m shot of any confidence in us getting results at the moment. Still no Devitt, which is interesting.

    This pitch is a complete embarrassment. How much was spent on it a year ago?

    We’ve said it before kick off that Akpan is not the man we want in a scrap, on heavy ground or actually in any circumstances. He’ll be off even earlier today with conditions heavy.

    The pitch is nothing short of embarrassing. Must be sorted in the summer


    Might suit us against a decent side though

    Look at the size of their number six, Canavan.

    I'm presuming the state of the pitch is why Middleton isn't in the squad at all? But then again, Connelly starts, and Zeli and Pritchard are on the bench. As is DMH.
    Probably worked out he's not good enough.

    Just hoof it and let them chase after it. The ball can bounce in any way or indeed not bounce and run at all!
