Yes defintely. Just think we might miss his range of passing.

I didn't think he had one. Tbf to Kelly he has contributed with forward balls in a few of our goals, going sideways when they're are no options isn't his fault

His range of passing didn't impress me too much, yes the idea's were there, but he rarely found his target with the through balls and a couple of howlers at the back left us in the shit.

He needs get it and give it to a more creative player.

 

[Pete in Portugal]

He's at the game and doesn't look like he wasn't available for selection.

Tight hamstring apparently.

Some of Meylers distribution and loss of possession last week was awful

I was quite impressed with Meyler. That being said it could just be the new signing shine.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Pleased with that lineup. Strong, but Hiwula still in for Grendel to moan about. Good team all round

Defo the shine m8!

 

[stevefloyd]

Hmmmm if history is to repeat itself there aint gonna be many goals for us

Strong line up on paper, but how physically strong are they are going to be? Seems loads of players have hardly trained this week.

 

[shmmeee]

Strong lineup on paper. Decent bench too.

Maybe they will go at them early and go 3-0 up so they can come off for the toilet?

Get in their faces early on.

Oh shut up Grendel.

He didn’t do anything that was ‘awful’ he wasn’t perfect. But it was a decent performance.

 

[vow]

Does Calvin Andrew still play for them?

Aye, he's starting.

 

[Johnnythespider]

I went to Rochdale in the f.a cup when McAllister was in charge, we got beat and deservedly so. I expect our poor record there to continue, 1 or 2-0 defeat.

 

[Otis]

Oh shut up Grendel.

He always embellishes, exaggerates and over cooks the pudding.

I think 'awful' is a bit ridiculous. 'Rusty' might describe him best.

He did some good stuff and some not so good.

 

[Otis]

Aye, he's starting.

If Nick was manager he'd be finished in the 3rd minute.

 

[vow]

The Offal says 4-2-3-1 for us, but unless Bayliss has morphed into a holding/defensive midfielder it's 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 (with Bright as no.10)!?

It's whatever people on here say it is.

 

[vow]

Chaplin to come on and score the winner 1-0.

Are you trying to start a fight, Otis?! :emoji_purse::emoji_purse::emoji_purse:

I think it’ll be 4231. Either way Bayliss is playing CM with Kelly.

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Pitch looks awful.... gonna cut up very easily.

 

[sylus]

This pie eating keeper will be our downfall today,better defend deep to protect him,oh wait isn't that what we always do,ask yourself why this guy would give a sh't about conceding one or two,

 

[vow]

Indeed, thats a given, but Bayliss hasn't got the discipline to be a holding/defensive midfielder in a 4-2-3-1.

Personally hope he does go 4-4-2 and not a defensive formation.

Fook me, we got Wayne Shaw?!!?

 

[sylus]

Odd Corey can be on the bench,but not in the starting lineup

Nowhere near match fit mate

 

[Nick]

Forgot they had Clough.

Marc McNulty's dad starts for them too.

I'm trying hard to make FFS Stockdale sound right in my head

Stockdale can still do a burge!

 

[Nick]

Come on then, get stuck in early!

 

[CanadianCCFC]
