Same starting as last week.

Decent bench as well

 

[Winny the Bish]

Unchanged. Bassette replaces Andrews on the bench.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Who do we think is not making the squad when Sheaf comes back? Allen? Palmer? Kitching?

 

[procdoc]

Tavares must be off as he will struggle to make the bench most weeks now. If we do sign another midfielder and when Rodrigues and Sheaf return who doesn’t make the bench?

 

[ptr]

Binks and Lati going to have to be on it today and stand strong. Armstrong very unpredictable.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Kept Bidwell not jds
Interesting
Hope the defence turn up or we just attack

No sheaf which is a shame

 

[mmttww]

We can change the whole front three for exciting players with a mix of pace, power and height. Slight change from last season! Add one first XI calibre CM and that's a hell of a squad. Cover at RB and we're in dream territory.

Whoever leaves out of Allen and Palmer. Guessing Palmer.

 

[PVA]

That bench

 

[TomRad85]

Ugh Lati... also think Bidwell deserved to be dropped really. Still better than their team though.

Strong team and a game changing bench.

Draw is a good result, a win is a great one. Can’t help but be optimistic with that team.

Sheaf +new CM, and we’re in a ridiculous place.

You reckon the existing defence is 'dream territory' then?

 

[Mr Panda]

Wright is back with the afro. Hopefully he can continue his cornrow form

In fairness Lati was solid last game. I especially remember a one on one attack where he defended really really well, no room for error and he jockeyed and tackled at exactly the right time.

 

[Boicey]

I just want us to come out stoked up and high tempo from the off.

 

[Nick]

Twine also starting for them

 

[chiefdave]

Bassette straight into the squad. Maybe not signed as 'one for the future' as many people thought

 

[Diogenes]

That bench is dripping with talent.

Robins needs to decide who his CB pairing is though.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

We’ll win this by two goals, I’m feeling confident today as always!

The defence just looks considerably more calamitous with him in it. I don't believe that's a coincidence at this point.

We're going to need Binks to be strong today, Armstrong can cause mayhem if given a chance.

You can't keep dropping players after one bad game, you have to grow into the season, tiredness yes

Got to feel for him. Out for months after signing and once he's fit he's right down the pecking order.

Scored a hat trick midweek and loses his place on the bench.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Got to admit, that's one hell of a squad.

Decent run of results and we will be cooking.

 

[skybluecam]

Armstrong will absolutely maul Lati. Will try not to moan about him today but I suspect it will be hard.

Don’t think we are yet at the point where we can sign players for 2 million to play u21s football. He’s for now.

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

The level of talent on the bench today is incredible considering where we've been for seasons and seasons now. We look like we could completely change the front three and still go into games feeling confident of scoring goals. Great to see.

We'll fucking lose now.

That's incredibly harsh

He's been poor in both games. He's not undroppable, it's Jake Bidwell!

Lati has his flaws but his physicality isnt one of them in my opinion

Think he’ll struggle with pace.

I disagree, its just how I see him after more than a season, he's just not very good. I rate the vast majority of our current squad but he does not do it for me at all.

Football is a ruthless game, he simply isn’t good enough for us at this moment in time.
