Not sure why Saka has been dropped but so good to see O'Hare back.

Sakamoto dropped. Eccles still picked. FFS.

Good to see Callum back, at least.

You want Sakamoto in the holding role?

O'Hare makes the bench!

Tatsu dropped after playing reasonably well.

And what have I missed with this "I just don't think you understand?" Has Billy Ray Cyrus revealed he's a City fan or something?

it’s the O’Hare chant?

I’m sure we’ll still win but just seems like a flat team sheet to me, especially without Saka in there.

I imagine Robins plan is to utilise him in the second half against tired legs? Seemed to tire after 50 mins at the weekend, as good as he was

Just got here to the hotel and having first pint. We will win tonight, I have no doubt. Just over 5 hours to go. Better pace myself. I think Godden will get on the scoresheet tonight. I would love to think Hadji Wright will come good tonight, fingers crossed.

I think Saka has been rested rather than dropped. Once Allen is back I think we will see Eccles rested more often, needs must at the moment

Tats i don't think its anything to do with performance, its just fresh legs. Same as Eccles if Allen or Kelly were available Eccles would also be on the bench.

Plenty of games coming thick and fast, the squad will be needed.

Totally agree with Latibeudiere coming in for Thomas. Disappointed to see that Sakamota is dropped. I get that he tired in second half, but more reason to give him more game time. Ayari has only shown rare glimpses of quality. Hopefully he can be more impactful. I am not sure O'Hare will get any minutes. Probably enough to have him around the team.

He only played an hour on Saturday why does he need a rest?

Robins said the other night he wanted to rest him but couldn’t - I assume he’ll be benched once two of Sheaf, Allen and Kelly are fully fit.

Think its just to justify him being dropped.

Saka didn't do anything bad but not sure he did anything to make him ubdroppable either. Don't mind see ayari being given a start. He's v talented I think

Not match fit? Not played enough to do a Saturday game and then a midweek one? Still feeling the effects of the Bristol game? Lots of reasons.

I'm hoping it's because Robins has seen what he's capable of so wants him to come on at the business end of the game.

Either that or he's seen something in Ayari in training that we haven't really seen yet ...

Hoping the COH being on the bench thing is just a mentality booster for him. If there’s ANY slight inkling that he’s not ready, I don’t want him on that pitch.

But by the same token, by playing lots of matches in very quick succession creates a much bigger load on the body and risk of injury.

E.g. the best way to get match fit is to do what Robins is doing, if that's even his plan. He might not even come on now though

I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. Clearly our strikers hardly scoring any goals and being unable to hold onto the ball has been the biggest problem. Also having no consistent number 10 is a problem. Eccles has been playing well. Central midfield is not and has not been the problem this season.
