For me Jimmy is in the starting eleven ahead of anyone else on the right side. I liked the look of our 4-3-3 at Old Trafford. I'm assuming Struijk will sit out due to concussion protocols. So Junior get's the start. I prefer Aaronson over Harrison in this set up. If Roca is fit I would not mind seeing him in that spot. But Brenden can help us transition to the attack when we win possession.
Yeah, this'll do, looks good on paper without Firpo written on it.

First of 3 wins on the bounce with that.
Not dependent on Google, the www or 'stats' - Just a guy that puts his eyes to full use on the beautiful game :geek: ...That Ayling goal and "You couldn't script it :lol: " - Dirty Leeds B@stard.
Must dash.

I would play the same back four, with the same reservations with Firpo, just would not want to break up the Wobber, Koch pairing. Happy to go with the midfield also, but I would change the front line. Summerville on the left, Rutter on the right, and Gnonto through the middle. I think their pace could cause all sorts of problems. Would have Sini and Bamford on the bench to revert back if things did not work out.

Aiming at the head of the first defender does have a hint of genius attached. The law of averages suggests that one of these targeted defenders will have the proverbial 50 pence head. The odds would be better if I was that defender.

Ye our delivery would be much better if that first defender moved to the penalty spot for us.

Rat boy?

Are you driving or going by train little old man?

Just came back from Sheffield by train, hundreds of police at the station and surrounding areas. I know it's to be expected but taxi driver told me intel indicates something really big about to kick off so you try and behave yourself :roflmao:

:bear:
I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.

Using the NHS pain threshold 1-10 barometer.

What is the general level of confidence in getting a result today.

I am hovering around a 6.

I'd have started Aaronson for Harrison but basically the obvious line up.

Looks a bit weak for me in midfield. And firpo is going to be a liability.

Agree. Hoping the crowd can be a big help today but it's gonna be tough. Scum won't want to drop anymore points to us that's for sure. The bench looks weak and I think that'll be a crucial factor today.

A potentially rejuvenated Sancho against Firpo is a catastrophe on paper. Hopefully he will justify the confidence a few have in his ability.
