Mitchell obviously injured, Edwards I assume not considered ready just yet. Not surprised to see Campbell start. Plenty of attacking options on the bench. Must admit I've never been convinced by either Gillesphey or REG so both need to step it up today. Thought Anderson would be serving a suspension today and thought we might have seen Taylor on the bench.2

That's a very decent bench.
Can understand Berry benched to perhaps come on as an impact sub?
TC's pace coming on could be a game changer later on, perhaps given more of a free role, like against Rotherham.
Godders and Mr Cheat Code himself present new challenges to tiring defenders.1 -

Surprised by this, can only assume NJ wants someone who is better with the ball at his feet today

I stand corrected. Quite right.FishCostaFortune said:I don’t think Anderson is a lucky boy to be on the bench in front of Taylor.
This is nothing to do with who played better midweek. However the only way Taylor gets on the pitch is if Coventry is injured.
Otherwise Docherty and Campbell will cover more yards then Coventry, and will play at a higher tempo, so it’s more likely both of them may need to replaced.
Anderson can do that role, Taylor can’t. We are joint top in the league without playing a double pivot, it’s not going to change now because Taylor had one good game against Cambridge.0 -
Whenever REG played well last season I said he looked like a promotion player. He's a better footballer with the ball than Mitchell; he's getting a chance and rightly sofenaddick said:Surprised by this, can only assume NJ wants someone who is better with the ball at his feet today4 -
Mitchell dropped out in the pre warm up pre team made public.0

I imagine you're looking forward to the day we start REG and Zach Mitchell in a league game!Leuth said:

Presumably Anderson misses the next BSM game, as the disciplinary stuff doesn't cross competitions. I thought REG did well on Tuesday, but share your concerns re Gillesphey, especially when he's alongside Small. Pleased for Kanu, as he worked his socks off against Cambridge.LargeAddick said:Mitchell obviously injured, Edwards I assume not considered ready just yet. Not surprised to see Campbell start.

Not a fan of that overall, midfield will be very industrious but when Berry is tired/out of form then there's no ideal replacement for him, as we're still lacking a proper attacking midfielder.0

Even so surely Mitchell would replace Potts on the bench?fenaddick said:Surprised by this, can only assume NJ wants someone who is better with the ball at his feet today0 -
Go on tell us - was someone sitting in your seat when you arrived? :-)Briston_Addick said:

Think that must be to do with Potts being left footedLargeAddick said:

REG to me suits the wide CB role better than A Mitchell anyway, as in that position ideally you want someone who's better on the ball, rather than a pure stopper.2

Think Seth was suggesting above that Mitchell got injured in the warm up?0

I wouldn't take too much notice of League positions in this early season.ozaddick said:I think Blackpool are a better team than 19th in the league. They've had twice as many shots on target than us, but conceded four times as many.
Blackpool may be 19th after a poor start, but they've sacked their manager and replaced him with Steve Bruce, who has made a big impact aleady in the past couple of games.
I wouldn't underestimate Blackpool.

Looking forward to seeing Alan Campbell and glad that Kanu is starting.

Surprisingly enough we don't have much company back here most weeks, just my brother and his son ... assuming they turn up.Fortune 82nd Minute said:

Glad to see REG starting, like his pace, think he'll help RAMSAY out a lot more getting forward than Mitchell.

Alfie May dropped to the bench for Birmingham - third choice behind Dykes and Stansfield now?4

Totally different playerAberystwythAddick said:Got to be really disheartening for Terry Taylor, deserves to be on the bench at least. After midweek you think he would’ve done enough to get in over Karoy2 -
Wrong side of the pitch for that, surely?CL_Phantom said:Glad to see REG starting, like his pace, think he'll help small out a lot more getting forward than Mitchell.

I like the fact that these days we can chop and change things a bit without causing too much harm.Oggy Red said:That's a very decent bench.

On the one hand a settled side, playing the same starting XI each week breeds confidence and familiarity amongst the players ... but gives the oppo a bloody good idea if what's coming.
A bit of rotation shakes things up, keeps our players on their toes so they don't become complacent, certainly keeps the other mob on their toes because they won't know who they're going to be up against and means we can shuffle up our impact players off the bench.
The days of 14/15 players playing out the season with little change barring injury are long gone; it's now 20/22 players and tactical subbing.
In Merlin Jones the Magician we trust.1
