Lati hate is OTT.

True; he’s had zero minutes and has zero acceleration. But he’s a decent enough CB at this level and he won’t lack commitment either.

I am more worried about Woolf next to him.

Rest of the team isn’t that weak other than missing a natural winger. Wonder if we’ll see Wright left and Simms up top at some point.

I’d take a draw now to be honest

I should think they play together in practice games with Kitch & Bobby on the other side.

Not the same though in training, as we saw at Wrexham

We can still get a point out of this

Is the point to Doug about our squad depth?

I for one am pleased Joel is getting a game. It will be very hard for him and going to be a tough game defensively . Just have to hope our goalscoring threat means we score more than Southampton or the same.

RoysterE17 · Saturday at 11:40 AM

This game has now turnt into a we must outscore them because that defence is wank

You’re more worried about the one who has promotion and premier league experience?

Lati isn’t a bad player. My concern is his lack of game time and starting alongside someone he’s never played with before

Today he's facing probably the fastest forward in the Championship, he hasn't got the pace (not that Thomas or Pitching would have kept up either), we'll get caught every time over the top.

I would be very surprised if that wasn't the case. Obvious thing to do.

Don’t think we will play with a high line to be honest, more of a low block potentially?

jordan210 · Saturday at 11:41 AM

If Lati gets sent off today I will Personally drive him to a league 1 club in Jan

Have we ever done that with a back 4?

skybluecam · Saturday at 11:42 AM

Lati finding himself starting in a back 4 for the runaway league leaders

He’s a championship standard defender, people make out he’s disabled or something

God knows!

covcity4life · Saturday at 11:43 AM

Need to get myself one of these cov Christmas jumpers on sky right now

Bristol sky blue · Saturday at 11:43 AM

3-3 draw I reckon with atrocious goals at both ends. Point would be a great result though. Wright to get a couple today, he has been unlucky recently.

procdoc · Saturday at 11:44 AM

Are we the main game on Sky?

It’s not nonsense in relation to the seasonal flue vaccine or COVID…

Yes it is. Post your medical qualifications or shut the fuck up about your mental illness on the match thread FFS. Literally can’t even spell flu and think you can outsmart the medical community. JFC.

SleepyGinger · Saturday at 11:44 AM

It wasn’t that long ago Lati was getting selected over Thomas and Kitching

As a general point, Premier League experience doesn’t automatically equate to a player being good.

I think Woolf has not looked match sharp or comfortable when I’ve seen him so far.

Not saying he’s a bad player, but he’s also coming in pretty cold and possibly under confident too.

quinn1971 · Saturday at 11:44 AM

Our back 4 v their back 3 nothing in it we match up more or less the same everywhere else, still very winable

He isn’t

Disagree. Although I don’t hate him, Latibeaudiere is poor.

The problem is he doesn’t suit playing a high line in a back 4 at all.

procdoc · Saturday at 11:45 AM

Positionally I worry about Rudoni on the left

Yes skysports football.

Marty · Saturday at 11:45 AM

What minute will we see the Lati flop? I'm going 10 minutes, no free kick, Armstrong scores.

procdoc · Saturday at 11:46 AM

So why has he played most of his career in the championship then?

We have 2 centre halves on the bench most weeks and 3 when you include Perry.

How many can you credibly keep happy ?

Oh great

StrettoBoy · Saturday at 11:47 AM

I just hope that Lati is match fit, given that he hasn't played for us for a while.

Having Lati and Wolfenden as our CBs shouldn't be disastrous but clearly it's a downgrade on Thomas and Kitching. I wonder if Grimes will be told to concentrate more on the defensive side of his game today.

We must try and concede no more than one and score at least two

Sky_Blue_Daz · Saturday at 11:49 AM

still top
