We've obviously found it hard to get any control of the midfield recently, so it's nice to see Bodin has been installed as a ball winner.

 

[Grumpy Git]

Who is this Browne chap on the bench?

Injured after the game?

 

[unification]

It needed a shake up but this does have shades of ‘KR’s last match against Bristol Rovers’ about it.

Happy to see Goodwin get a start and for Bennett to come back too. He’s been a sound signing.

There’s a lot riding on this. A hell of a lot.

 

[windmill]

OK Des. Putting the boot in. Let's see what happens. Browne in the squad....get in there!

 

[bazzer9461]

Who is this Browne chap on the bench?

The bloke with crutches you mean?

 

[Jster]

Yeah, I'm in the "give Des time" camp, and I still would be if we lost today, but I'd find it a difficult case to argue for sure. Losing to Bolton, even badly, is one thing, losing to Vale quite another.

 

[dickwalton1964]

Or Fin Stevens.

Let’s be honest, Des has been desperate to get his ex pupil Long back in the team. If I was Fin Stevens I’d be on the first train back to Brentford and two fingers to Des. Sam Long is a liability.

 

[bazzer9461]

Mental when you look at it like this..

Players missing from the squad:

Jordan Thorniley
Stephan Negru
Fin Stevens
Marcus McGuane
Oisin Smyth
Jay Matete
Kyle Edwards
Tyler Burey

Well I doubt we will ever see Burey or Matete. Again

 

[BrockBuster]

So, two players included in the starting line up who have given up on the manager. The mixed messages keep on coming. Cumming is one lucky boy, should never be in this starting line up. Long too.

Long has been better than Stevens based on recent form (albeit low bar for them both).

 

[bazzer9461]

Robinson stayed about 20 games past his sell-by-date. The chuckle brothers won't act until it gets so toxic it's untenable.

That many

Problem is Stevens has proven himself to be on par with Sam Long or marginally better.

 

[Scotchegg]

We've dropped one of @Leysboy Des Outers only to bring another one of @Leysboy Des Outers in! Meanwhile the biggest @Leysboy Des Outers has kept his place!

Of course, it could all just be a load of B*****s!!

 

[Chippy]

Well I doubt we will ever see Burey or Matete. Again

Seems that way, and just when we needed decent January recruitment to give our squad and season the boost it required. Doesn’t look good on those who decided to recruit them.

Interesting team today, presume we’re playing 4-1-5? Hope it works, we need 3 points big time.

COYY

Totally agree mate

 

[Wallop]

Bit off topic but just watched Coventry City outplay Wolves at Molineux to go through to the FA Cup Semis - whilst we were poor at their place, I think they might just be rather good.

 

[Carpy]

For a side that concede a lot of goals that sure is a bold selection

Their third goal was a well taken goal

 

[chuckbert]

lol. So much for my predictions of Mcguane and Leigh goals …

 

[battman]

Rodrigues lucky to keep his place in the squad, let alone the starting XI. Expecting much better from him and the team as a whole today.

 

[uptheus]

I like Goodwin starting

But should have started with both him and Harris up front.
