    Smells about right to me but it was much harder than normal to say what formation we were playing as we had so much of the ball in their defensive third, given the extra man.

    Looks like it's going to be close to a sell out.......

    Lower School end open as well with a Friends and Family offer to members and ST holders, up to 6 tickets for £10 each....... not much room left there either.....

    Brilliant.....

    Our formation seems to be very fluid. I agree that the “default” seems to be 4-3-3 but there is much movement.

    When attacking the wing-backs move up and a holding midfielder drops back. When defending they press by zones. It is a well drilled fluid formation with very good team work.

    It will take a much better expert than me to analyse it! :)

    Apparently they have the best away form in the league.
    Went to their place for my 60th with my lads. Lost!
    COYRsssss!

    Good to see Stan (Laurel) proudly at the front. ‘Gent’ with the scarf has stuffed his coat pockets with hotel jams, bread rolls and soaps too - clever chap.

    Yes, Sinton was saying exactly that. The camera focus was on our attack with Laird well forward down the right. You couldn't see it on the stream but Sinton was praising the work Field was doing apparently, covering behind him and Paal when they got forward.

    I'd lime to see that but as this is the 3rd game in a week maybe one or two will need resting. Think Beale said Robert's will be back in the squad.

    Roberts at most, should be on the bench.
    We could play with 10 as Laird is 2 players, in one!

    But it is very difficult to see the full formation on the stream. The commentators do their best, but seems quite fluid and they have difficulties themselves on how to describe it.

    I guess that this is excellent for us. If it is difficult to explain how we play, then it is nigh on impossible to prepare how to deal with it.

    I will call it our “fluid formation”. :)

    Ffs I hope not, just worsens the team in my eyes. Willock might be on bench

    Doubt Willock will be involved, saving him for Brum next Friday........

    Likely Steff will be rested with Richards or Amos coming in.......... and possibly Dozzell for Tim 5 Vowels...... neither changes will weaken the side

    Can't remember when we were this spoilt for choice.........

    Wasnt Steff rested for Luton? If he is rested tomorrow I think Dozzell is his most natural replacement.
