Six defenders and two holding midfielders. Never mind parking the bus, that's a whole depot!

And if there was any injury niggle it is a good chance to rest him for nearly 2 weeks till our next league match.

It was, but we lost.

Similar vs Arsenal as well.

Just feels very low on creativity imo, sort of team that would get penned in and concede.

We know DF is play for a draw away but fine line between that and defeat.

Hopefully hold firm and then we also have pacey and tricky options on the bench in James, Okafor, Gnonto and Buananotte.

A tough match but would be great if we can get a point or more.

BBC has it as 343.

Cjay is waiting till the result before deciding what formation it is that we are playing. If we get anything he will declare it to be the magic 532 formation rather than giving Farke any credit. If we lose then it will be the knives out for Farke and blaming him from straying from the 532.

Hm definitely good for a draw if we play well but I fear a siege with this line up and that rarely goes well for us
