    Dabo and Kasteener sitting together. Then Biamou on a different row and Jones on another. They obviously dislike each other. There you go - I’ve given all the negative fans something to get excited about. Re the game - good positive start, dominating possession and playing a quick tempo. Looks...

    Right next to a Biamou and he can’t even get to his seat - everyone is pouncing on him for photos. Pretty sure I sure Grendel in the mix.

    Two changes to the back four isn’t ideal, but we’ve still got more than enough to win. It’s inexperienced and young, but there’s ability there and it’s strong enough for L1. However one of Rose or Hyam will need to talk McCallum through the game; that’s where we’ll most miss McFadzean. Good...

    Sounds good. We’re heading to DigBrew today!

    Parking at St Andrews?

    I usually train and walk, but as my partner could have the baby any time, I’m under strict instructions to drive so I can get away quickly if needed! Which is the best street to park, where you’re guaranteed to be able to get away quickly after the game (or before!)?

    Running

    Just singed up for the Kenilworth Half Marathon next Sunday, albeit I was slightly put off by the free Wasps tickets for all runners!

    Parking at St Andrews?

    Are rounds around St Andrews closed for a period after the game? Or can you get away straight after?

    If he isn’t fit, I’d start O’Hare on the bench and keep the team the same - they deserve it after Tuesday. Unless Westbrooke or Shipley are struggling in which case it’s an easy excuse to drop one and start O’Hare.

    Do we know if Jobello is fit? If not, it should be a straight switch for O’Hare, albeit I initially had Bapaga starting there pre O’Hare, so I hope he still gets some significant game time as he looks a talent. I’d keep everything else the same as my initial post. Although I’m actually...

    our 1-11

    It’s a turn of phrase. I’m well aware he isn’t playing as a ‘winger’. Change wide man to inside forward if you like - my point remains. He makes fantastic runs (from a wide position) to get behind defenders - he’s probably our best player for making those intelligent runs (look back to games...

    our 1-11

    Marosi Dabo Rose McFadzean Mason Allen Kelly O’Hare Jobello Godden Kasteener Wilson Hyam Pask Shipley Hiwula Biamou Jones The starting 11 is harsh on Hiwula most of all (especially as I’ve always been a big advocate), but despite the fact he plays it well, I don’t think he’s a natural wide...

    Transfer Rumour Incoming - Callum O'Hare - Season Loan

    Exciting singing! Sounds like he could easily fit into the midfield three, as part of the three, so no need to adapt to incorporate a 10 role. As others have said, after reading the article I wouldn’t be surprised if he started in place of Jobello (if injured) on Saturday. If not I think MR...

    Exciting loan tomorrow?

    I agree - which is exactly why it would be an anti climax if this protracted signing ends up being a RB!

    Exciting loan tomorrow?

    Be a massive anti climax if so. I appreciate we have no natural RB’s for Saturday, but Dabo’s suspension is only one game and Pask will be back at some point. Whereas a creative midfielder will have more of contributiton to the season overall and fills a hole in the current squad.

    Amazing how opposition fans see things

    I haven’t understood the negativity thus far at all. Bolton rightfully pissed people off, but the overreactions were embarrassing - one game doesn’t make a season. We have good players, some of whom have the ability and/or potential to play higher. We have a good manager, who appears to be...

    Let’s assume the worst and that Jobello is also out, along with Dabo and Kasteneer, and we haven’t bought anyone in by Saturday. I’d keep the formation the same as it’s obviously the preferred option this season and the players appear to be increasingly comfortable with it. I’d also implement...

    That’s the way it should be, but I’m not sure it always is. Plus, I didn’t specify losing, just when things go wrong. I’m sure deep down 95% of fans want us to do well, but being right is more important to some.

    Some posters on here should be utterly embarrassed at some of their previous comments. Can’t stand fans who are gleeful when things go wrong. Fantastic result; full of pride.
