Not sure what Thomas and Kitching have done to deserve to come straight in tbh.
Played in the team that was top of the league for a chunk of the season, making easily observable contributions with and without the ball. Both deserved to be dropped to get a msg across. I don't think we win on Mon with Latibeaudiere and Woolfenden. Happy to be proven wrong, but that's my take.
What in your opinion would Lats and Woolf do differently to keep their place? If nothing what message does that send? “They were in the team when we were doing well and that matters but them being in the team when we are doing badly doesn’t” seems like some motivated reasoning. Oxford or not the fact is Kitching and Thomas have been conceding goals regularly that they individually are to blame for for weeks.
It's so difficult because Oxford offered nothing, there were some noticeable differences having those 2 in defense though - they play much slower and safer than Thomas and Kitching, yes that can get us into trouble, but Kitching in particular brings the ball into midfield a lot and hits a little of switches, and the lack of attacking presence from set pieces.What in your opinion would Lats and Woolf do differently to keep their place?

None taken, it's in your benefit to do so.no offence but hope you’re right, should be a cracker
Oh mate, we're not keeping a clean sheet.None taken, it's in your benefit to do so.
On paper it should be a great match at least. Either we turn up and Hellball the thing like against the Blades or, aided and abetted by the power of Hoodoo, the Cov from October suddenly rocks up instead and performs out of their boots, earning a win or at least a high score draw if that doesn't happen.
Or I suppose it could also be an absolute 0-0 snoozefest. But in reality I think that's the least likely result going.

Their two best games were Oxford who offered nothing, and Southampton to which we were backs to the wall defending the box having gone down to 10 men, so they didn't have to worry about movement or pace running in behind.
Played in the team that has dropped so many points since end of Nov. Sending off, giving ball away easily. Neither have been on form for 6/7 weeks.Played in the team that was top of the league for a chunk of the season, making easily observable contributions with and without the ball.

There is no ‘hoodoo’. We’ve just beaten you a few times over the last few years during times where we’ve either been a better side or been in better form. Our historical head to head record has us dead even and you’ve beaten us 3 times since we were promoted back to the Championship.None taken, it's in your benefit to do so.

Sounds legit

Lati and Wolfenden did well in a backs to the wall 10 man rear guard action v Southampton and on Saturday when they had virtually nothing to do.
Monday will be nothing like either of those games and Kitching and Thomas have done well in games which will be more akin to what we can expect v boro.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a mix and match approach with Kitching and Lati starting.
Or Thomas and Woolfenden, which is what I think I would do.
Head turned in the window you mean? Or an inability to handle a pressurised environment?Just can't get past the nagging feeling that there's something more to Thomas's recent petulance

Back to Back clean sheets would be a encouraging. We haven't done that since our pomp in October, where we did 5 on the bounce.
6 wins on the bounce for you in our head to heads wouldn't be surprising IF you were Man City and we were Hartlepool United, but it is given that we've had strength not that dissimilar to each other over the past 3 years.There is no ‘hoodoo’. We’ve just beaten you a few times over the last few years during times where we’ve either been a better side or been in better form.

May be correct.Isn't he staying at the Vilage hotel after losing his driving licence
Wild conspiracy and getting carried away with things is one of the fundamental joys of being a football fan.No idea what, but the sending off at blues and booking at qpr could possibly be down to either.
Or it could just be me reading too much into it
Really? I've seen both Kitching and Thomas there on a few occasions now. Just assumed it's where they stay ahead of a home game.Isn't he staying at the Vilage hotel after losing his driving licence
Surely the media would have picked up on a current professional footballer being convicted of driving offences?Isn't he staying at the Vilage hotel after losing his driving licence
Is Kitching still living in Barnsley?Really? I've seen both Kitching and Thomas there on a few occasions now. Just assumed it's where they stay ahead of a home game.
