That's a rather bizarre lineup. If you go 1 nil down in the first 20 mins, you don't have much chance to get back into the game unless you're gonna be hauling people off before half time.
Absolutely no logic in changing the back 3 that finished the last match in order to put REG in midfield. The new defence needs to be settled so they can build some understanding. Just bring in Louis Watson and drop Dobbo and Bakinson a bit deeper. At least there’d be some vague chance of linking the midfield to attack that way. It’s not as if we’re likely to nick a goal by a set piece is it?
Please not Ness. For as bad as Jones has been the last two, he is still better than Ness who should be loaned to a non league side now. On the bright side, Albie has played well the last two for Blackpool so he is due to have a monumental disaster of a game per usual.
Hmm trying not to be too negative looking at that line up..but geez, 6 defenders and two defensive midfielders playing further up...is this normal? Do things like this happen at other clubs?
Given the seriousness of our predicament, and lack of options, would really like to see Fraser back in the mix (not normally his biggest fan)

I'll keep saying it... Ness would not be starting games for any other team in this league.
Embarrassing line up. Instantly don’t want him having the job after that team selection
Since Wednesday I've been saying give him a few games, but this is a bit of a head scratcher. I know he was a defender by trade but did he never cross the half way line & see there is another penalty area ?
Anyway, still think we'll win. The winner will be a clearance from Ness that sails over the head of their keeper & into an empty net.
Love Curtis's pre match interview, he has the ability to make bad news positive by introducing some good stuff, but at least he has a positive outlook, as opposed to the dour negativity from the other guy..good luck Curtis...
If we concede early then this could be a rout....It's going to be one way traffic with no "out" ball, so the only option is to try to keep a clean sheet...plan B might mean wholesale changes!
I don't think the lineup looks that bad tbh. REG, Assimwe, Gilleshpey, t.Watson, bakinson all capable of attacking runs, if they make some runs and get crosses in May and ladapo could score.

Bringing some positivity into the squad this week is crucial, I imagine he's good at that.

Noted. Will be quoted when he scores the winner today. :-)

Too many defenders when we're clearly trying for a clean sheet, this is disgusting and I will not stand for it.
