    New Baby

    Apologies if this is a little self indulgent, but this morning my partner gave birth to our first child; a little girl. She came two weeks early and with very little warning, so it’s all very surreal at the minute. And obviously incredibly exciting! Any tips on anything baby related would be...

    We are looking comfortable and so I’m naturally worried we’re only one up! If we can up the tempo after HT, even if just for 15 minutes we’ll score again and that will put the game to bed. I’d bring Bapaga and O’Hare on at about 60 and then potentially Bakayoko at 75 if the game is won...

    We look under no pressure at all, which probably worries me more. We have taken our foot off the gas a little though. Still moving it around well, but need more movement from the front three to allow the final killer ball.

    Sick joke, but you’re wrong. They hadn’t when I posted.

    McCallum has started well considering he’s out of position. Mason, Hiwula, Kelly and Shipley seeing lots of the ball. Westbrooke not involved enough yet and Jobello is very hot and cold.

    Gillingham look very long ball and overall poor, but we said that lots last season and still lost a few of those games. Not sure how they haven’t been booked yet either. We keep playing football and up the tempo and goals will come. Also I didn’t realise how Big Evans actually is, shit it’s...

    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...

    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!
