Allen starts,
Jones on the bench!

Brilliant news hope jj gets on

Tommo1993 · Dec 3, 2019

MKD are going for it, judging by their team

Corrado · Dec 3, 2019

I’m pretty excited now! Jones on for last 20 minutes to win us the game

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Dec 3, 2019

Very surprised Allen starts. Even more surprised Jones on the bench as he's yet to even play an U23. Didn't think he'd get back before Pask. Trying to work out the formation as looks like a back four. None of the 1st team CB's even on the bench.

Eccles DCM with Allen and O'Hare slightly ahead of him with a three pronged attach of Hiwula left, Baka centre and Kast right?

Kept some talent on the bench in case it goes tits up.

chiefdave · Dec 3, 2019

Seems about right, gives the non-regulars some playing time and a chance to impress.

Great to see Jodi Jones name back on the team sheet. Can't begin to imagine how hard it must have been for him.

SlowerThanPlatt · Dec 3, 2019

Not sure what the plan is with Bremang. Clearly not in Robins immediate or short term plans as he can’t get a place on the bench in the Checkatrade when we’ve got a lack of striking options - a player who’s a first year scholar is preferred.

It's part of the game isn't it - you're always looking for that next bright young thing and sometimes doing that you forgot the previous bright young things you were developing. Will Bapaga end up being under-utilised in the future because the coaching team have spotted someone else in a younger group they want to bring through?

SlowerThanPlatt · Dec 3, 2019

They’ve got their first team playing, including Dean Lewington who it feels like he’s been around forever

PurpleBin · Dec 3, 2019

How much is it for iFollow tonight? A tenner still? Surely cant be more than a ticket for the game?

jordan210 · Dec 3, 2019

Great to see JJ back. will be interesting to see how long he gets. as hasn't played for u21's

Why you suprised Allen plays ? He’s been playing under 23 football & came on at Sunderland this is perfect game time for him he will replace Shipley soon I think

Gonna be difficult for him with Kelly, Walsh, Shipley and Westbrooke already there and Allen yet to come in. Also seems like MR looks to Eccles beyond that before looking at Young. But in games such as this he should be given an opportunity to see if he's anywhere near ready and worth persevering with on a longer basis.

Think he's going to be deployed as a winger

shmmeee · Dec 3, 2019

Don’t care about the result. Hope Jones gets some minutes and him and Allen come through unscathed. Anything else is a bonus.

Reckon he’s just included to be around the team. No chance of coming on

CanadianCCFC · Dec 3, 2019

Loving that team

I was thinking this too, just to get a feel for being in the match day squad. Ease him in. Help with the nerves etc.

I'm going to be a bag of nerves just watching the guy whenever he returns, can't imagine how he must be feeling!

SkyBlueGuy · Dec 3, 2019

Is this game on ifollow? I thought others had suggested that it was?

ccfcway · Dec 3, 2019

would love to see Kastaneer shine tonight

I have always thought he was decent tbh, he played for them against us in 2012. In this day and age a player staying at a club that long is very long indeed

westcountry_skyblue · Dec 3, 2019

TalkSPORT 2 for me PUSB!!!

robbiethemole · Dec 3, 2019

just a thought, we have still only lost 1 away game so far

Yup, £10

chiefdave · Dec 3, 2019

Baka nearly in with a sliding tackle on the keeper.

ccfcway · Dec 3, 2019

2019 football cliché number one ticked "the high press"

cc84cov · Dec 3, 2019

Baka inside the 6 yard box heads wide lol should of scored

BornSlippySkyBlue · Dec 3, 2019

Baka causing problems already

ccfcway · Dec 3, 2019

offside goal for MK, would have been a great goal, starting with their keeper

chiefdave · Dec 3, 2019

Not sure that was offside. Walked straight through us so hopefully will wake them up.

BornSlippySkyBlue · Dec 3, 2019

Good defending there...

Nick · Dec 3, 2019

we look shaky at the back

ccfcway · Dec 3, 2019

decent game so far this, end to end. suspect we wont keep a clean sheet

cc84cov · Dec 3, 2019

Defence looks shaky Mason is all over the place

chiefdave · Dec 3, 2019

Their keeper is quality trying to bring the ball out all the time.

Great_Expectations · Dec 3, 2019

Anyone there/watching - what’s the formation?

Based on the players, it looks a definite back four and potentially 3-3 ahead of it? Or Eccles/Allen as a 2, Kast/O’Hare/Hiwula as a 3 and Baka up front?

Pretty inexperienced back line (even Mason to an extent), but all are good enough individually and you’d have thought Drysdale and Williams would have a good understanding.

Nick · Dec 3, 2019

It looks like the same formation with 1 up front and 1 either side as we started the season with.
