    Looks like a strong attack minded bench too

    Not sure about Gooch and Watmore starting together but otherwise it looks like the change of direction most people want to see, we must put teams to the sword at home, tight games are OK on foreign soil but the SOL needs a lift, fingers crossed. I wonder if McGeady is going to play a more central position.

    he must have watched the replay from saturday and realised how poor Matthews and Power were...

    is that a 1-4-1-4-1 formation?

    I think it's along those lines yeah but it's hard to tell with all those forwards on.

    A bright start and they have an injury already.

    Maybe it'll mirror lots of our early season games where we went behind but ended up winning.

    There a massive side mind the bloke who scored looks about 7 foot.

    Been the case with a number of sides we’ve played this year. On form winning games. Massive second half

    They are proving a bit of a challenge, Plan B and 2 goals required.

    Just need to regroup and keep on pushing for the equalizer....got to keep positive and no heads drop. Plenty of fire power on bench if we need it.

    Not been great but made a few chances. I thought Grigg was pushed a bit wide by Watmore for his chance. Been sporadic bouts of possession but loads of left to right and little penetration. Leadbitter would be getting slated if he was Cattermole as he’s given the ball away with poor passes a few times in dangerous spots too. We’ve probably been slightly better than them at least till they scored

    grigg is too isolated, up against two 6' plus CHs.
    he needs help off Wyke or we use our widemen better.
    their keeper has hardly had a shot to save.

    Playing better. Started well but eventually ran out of steam. Its about even on chances Grigg should have scored and has hit the post from a freekick. They almost scored a header at the end. I think they also hit the post.
