    We seem keen to use Jobello as much as we can; let’s hope he actually turns up. He just looks too weak and/or lacking confidence when attacking with the ball. Hopefully today is the day he finds his feet. McCallum looks very confident. Game is open, which should suit us.

    Frantic start. They are employing a very high press, but we seem to be keeping our composure, albeit the final ball is to an isolated Godden. Our players all have the wrong boots on, everyone is falling over. We need to impose ourselves soon, before there pressure fives them a goal. Hiwulas...

    As with most games this season, I’m feeling confident. After a very poor opening 20 minutes against Blackpool (and 90 against Oxford), we were back to our best for the rest of the game. As long as we don’t sit back, so we play offensively and at a quick tempo we’ll do well. Team wise, I’d go...

    We haven’t tried a routine specifically yet, as she’s only two weeks old and we’re still in finding our feet phase. But the plan is for her to have a set routine and even now we follow a rough plan. And she tends to wake up at similar times, the 2/3am one is the worst! Breastfeeding is still an...

    Started the second half well - as long as we continue to play football at a quick tempo we’ll win.

    The two goals definitely change the feeling somewhat. Even so, while we look vulnerable defensively, we’ve actually moved the ball around quite well at times, but the key is our tempo. When we play it around quickly and players move for each other we look threatening and Blackpool look...

    Is anyone else’s freezing or is it my connection?

    Does this system ever work properly?! Watching in silence is shit!

    We’re being exposed down the flanks again - Oxford exploited it and now every team will. I get it’s early and it isn’t a knee jerk, but I’d be tempted to revert back to 4-2-31, we have the players for it.

    Commentary is ahead. Anyone know how to fix it?

    Cheers. As it stands I’m using a Chrome extension (setupvpn) and linked the laptop via Apple TV, and it seems to be working so far.....

    Kelly is a clear loss, but Walsh is a more than adequate replacement. Footballing wise he’ll be as good, just not as much leadership or experience as Kelly. Slightly disappointed not to see O’Hare, and worried about creativity and controlling the game. But O’Hare and Kasteener could be game...

    Cheers - although I hope it isn't long term, as I have a season ticket! As in screen mirroring from iPad to the TV via Apple TV? Yea I have issues logging in too - it is a shocking system I have to say. I know this is a basic question, but how do you know the VPN is working? On the iPad I just...

    Right, I need some help with this today. It looks like I am going to miss the game in person as my partner is (understandably) a little wary re being on her own with a 9 day old baby who has decided to become very fussy the last 2 days! Last time I tried this for a Saturday game, I couldn't...

    I appreciate it does sound harsh based on his stats, but again (and it’s a genuine question) can you remember him doing much in games? A CM in a three cant be a passenger for chunks of the game. And again, before anyone misinterprets, I like Westbrooke but if Walsh is as good as reported...

    I agree re Westbrookes attributes and I mentioned that in my original post. In fact I even championed him last season. I like players who recycle the ball and aren’t necessarily spectacular. I even liked Clingan.... However, if we have someone on the bench who can recycle the ball well and add...

    As per my previous post; that’s an impressive stat but can you remember him in any of the games so far? You can’t get away with relying on scoring/assisting and then doing not much else when playing in a midfield three. I like Westbrooke, he has good attributes and will improve but if Walsh is...

    I agree re O’Hare’s runs from midfield, but he’s almost the victim of his own flexibility as he can play out wide whereas the other CM’s can’t. I’ve always liked Hiwula and I accept he’s had a poor start - however I’d still put him ahead of Jobello as we at least know Hiwula can perform (and...

    MR likes to stick with a winning team (which I respect), but last week we didn’t win and were absolutely nowhere near the levels we need to be, so he has a justified reason for changing the team. I’d play: Marosi Dabo Hyam McFadzean Mason Walsh Kelly Shipley O’Hare Godden Hiwula Harsh on...
