That team selection is either desperation or a "please sack me now I've had enough " message from MR to Doug.

I really hope that's just an incredibly defensive 433, and the fact I'm saying that's the least shit option says it all. I have no idea what Robins is even trying anymore.
Lets wait and see.Potentially our best front 3 on the pitch.Milan,Saka partnership restored. Eccles to push wright.
4 strongest defenders on,who need to step up and be counted.
All we need now is Sheaf to do the business.

This feels like a Hail Mary from Robins doesn’t it

We got absolutely bullied in the first half v Luton at Wembley, it feels like we're anticipating that but it also feels a bit like be we're going to need better footballers to play our way forward than Lat.

That said, could it be MVE further forward with Lati at right back, Saka in the 10?

float ball in comming
Maybe it would have been better to play Dasilva at least he wouldn't have to jump to head the ball with Freccles taking them, thats all assuming we get that far up the pitch to actually get a corner

MR Clutching at straws I reckon, hoping to scrape a draw.
Simms will be lumbering around trying to hide amongst their defenders, Saka will be booted early doors and crocked and Wright won’t see the point of tracking back at all with 7 defenders behind him.
Lets hope Dovin isn’t going to be bullied into punching everything by their tall muscular players……..

Am I the only one who doesn't mind that line-up?

We can't allow ourselves to get bullied.

Let's wait and see. It might work. We won't know until the game kicks off

Robins isn't an idiot. I trust him.

Most people are expecting us to lose anyway, so whatever side Robins fielded today would have been criticised I'm sure.

I'm looking forward to the game and hopefully we can have a counter to Luton's physicality

Beginner’s guide to match threads

Robins keeps the same team = Robins is clueless, we have been terrible and need changes

Robins changes the team = Robins is clueless, he doesn’t know his best XI

Robins sticks to the same formation & tactics = Robins is too stubborn, why does he refuse to change things when it’s not working

Robins changes the formation & tactics = Robins is clueless, why does he keep changing things

How about we get behind the 11 out there and wait to see how it pans out before wetting the bed just so you can win Internet told you so points. Embarrassing.
It is possible to say wtf is that and still support the team. I'd be surprised if there is anyone not thinking wtf is that!
Hoping it's a 433 with a couple of square pegs rather than the completely dismal second option.

The sideways and backwards passing of the defence and midfield is going to be a sight to behold.

A point would be another building block.
