Fasten those seatbelts

What u know about godden strops

Can only imagine the fan backlash if rumour was Simms or Palmer having the strops

It was mainly around having the captaincy taken off him, felt it could have been dealt with better

Then he saw the twitter slatings from everyone and yea, hence hes Mr Mardy at the mo

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

I trust Robins but I don’t get starting Andrews and Tavares

Wayne Andrews?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Tavares starts.

teams fine other than that.

told you not totally crazy

 

[jordan210]

 

[skybluecam]

Oh my fucking god Tavares is starting

 

[Tommo1993]

*Psycho music plays*

 

[ptr]

Is what it is. Have to trust him.

Buzzing for Tavares to be fair. Hope he has a blinder.

 

[TomRad85]

What a weird team... most fuming about Wilson tbh

That's really not that odd as a starting line-up. What an overreaction.

 

[Grendel]

Wilson?

 

[Matt smith]

How is Ben Wilson starting this game

 

[Frostie]

Swapping keeper is odd to say the least.

 

[David O'Day]

Apart from Wilson and Tavares is that so hilarious

It’s not, apart from the keeper

 

[AiS86]

Is that meltdown worthy? No Sakamoto at all and Wilson in is a bit of a surprise, but fine with that otherwise

 

[covcity4life]

Ok time to reveal that tavares is starting!

I have now established my credentials as a ITK

 

[jim20]

Is Sakamoto injured?

 

[covcity4life]

Tavares playing is great news btw. Too many people written him off as dohshite without seeing him. That don't mean he is the real deal either btw. But today we get a good look at exactly what he is. Can tell better than sub cameos

So I'm excited personally. If he is half decent it means our squad gets a little stronger till end of season

 

[HadjiChippo]

Not that crazy tbf, still fancy us to win this.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Better than i thought it would be

However, Wilson? Why?

 

[Ian1779]

Wonder what the thought process on Wilson is? Maybe Collins is carrying an injury?

 

[AiS86]

Is Sakamoto injured?

Illness

 

[skybluecam]

Why has Collins been dropped? Baffling.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

How is Ben Wilson starting this game

Collins could have been ill or had a knock.

 

[Tommo1993]

Could turn out to be the best front 3…

 

[Matt smith]

I’m more worried about Wilson than tavares

I genuinely think fab could do ok today

what’s Collins done wrong?

 

[TomRad85]

Good for Tavares, if he's still here he needs to play there when Sakamoto can't. But Wilson I just don't get, he's a heart attack waiting to happen.

Collins could have been ill or had a knock.

That would be fair enough of course

 

[Ian1779]

If there has been illness in the camp it would explain Saka out and Wilson in

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Congratulations to Fabio Tavares for his second career EFL start!

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Warming Tavares up for Maidstone...

 

[procdoc]

Better than i thought it would be

However, Wilson? Why?

Maybe Collins has a knock or is unwell. Can’t be fatigue keepers don’t exactly run their bollocks off!

 

[PVA]

I was less than impressed with Collins the other night, did not expect him to beg dropped though!

Tavares is a total shock though. Can only assume he's been impressing in training, but then why not give him some more minutes off the bench first?

 

[AiS86]

After one of his saves, looked like Collins had hurt his hand/wrist, think might have had it trodden on in a save before, guess work of course
