Let's hope Kelly really steps up & shows we can perform without Doyle.

Big chance for Baka.

If he's not up for it today he never will be. Chance to stake his claim and stick one to his old side.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

I’m not sure about kelly and Bayliss in the middle. Glad Davies and Shipley are back in.

 

[CovInEssex]

I think we'll win now

 

[covcity4life]

Happy enough with team. We needed to freshen it up

Hopefully we see a renewed Shipley who now doesn't take his place for granted. I did say at time of wanting him dropped that a break could do him good.

[I was eleven in 87]

I think he needed to make quite a few changes and I’m glad he has gone for it. Fingers crossed it works!!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Nice to see a newly refreshed team with the seemingly undropppable Doyle and JCH not starting. Looking forward to seeing how the new lads do.

Woaoh Kelly in the middle

 

[Nick]

I think Shipley being back in adds to the defensive side which he was referring to about still creating chances. I really hope Chaplin plays right up front with Baka otherwise we all know it is going to be pointless.

If we keep it on the floor and try to work the channels or play it to Baka's feet for Chaplin to play off him it might work.

Not having to cover for Doyle in the middle might help, the only thing I worry about is Kelly's match fitness.

Theirs:



Ginnelly on the bench, gave thompson a torrid time and has been getting a few goals.

I am sure somebody said Cook was suspended?

Check the original posts if you don't believe me. I've never had an issue with the kid bar his poor performances.

Your boy Jch dropped. No surprise you trying to deflect lmao

Baka to take an early yellow by going through their keeper so that they have to bring Chris Dunn on.

From what the Walsall fans have been saying on their forum Cook is suspended in the FA Cup not the league.

Brave selection by Robins. We needed to change it up tbf.

Shame, hopefully Davies can do a job.

I wonder if Osbourne will be any good.

 

[Warwickhunt]

He's made some big calls there. Looking forward to seeing how well it works!

is it too many changes? i would have started Grimmer and bought Dujon after 1/2 time?

 

[Warwickhunt]

Blimey he’s dropped Doyle

he is probably carrying an injury! he has looked laboured in the last few games and i think he needs to take the stress off.

 

[Warwickhunt]

He will bring JCH on after 1/2 time as he plays better when he gets a kick up the arse!

 

[stevefloyd]

My concern is Kelly not being match fit and cannot understand why Robins has not been getting him on in more games but lets hope in our lay off he miraculously appears fit, same with Ogogo...Baka its your time to step up show your old team what they are missing and Shipley, who I think is an honest player needs to perform, bit of a risk sticking Sterling straight back in but at least Robins has been brave with the changes especially dropping Doyle lets hope too many changes doesn't affect us too much

 

[Johhny Blue]

Blimey he’s dropped Doyle

Maybe Doyle dropped himself?

 

[Esoterica]

I just hope that Robins, and the fans, give the players a chance. Half the team hasn't started a league game for 2 months so there's bound to be a bit of rustiness.

Don't supposed anybody else is simply getting a black screen on their ifollow?

No it's on now!

 

[Deleted member 4439]

No it's on now!

Rats, but thanks for confirming!

 

[Nick]

It is a but jumpy though!

Come on then, lets see how this lineup does!

 

[Johnnythespider]

Just seen the line up, glad to see Sterling back and i think Shipley for his faults is a bit stronger defensively than Hiwula. I was expecting changes but not 5, it seems Doyle doesn't pick himself any longer.

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

is it being showed on ifollow?! thought that wasn't allowed for 3pm saturday games?

I hope so, too. However, I fully expect some 'fans' to start moaning the moment their favoutite scapegoat makes a mistake.

Depends.................................

 

[Nick]

Davies header goes wide from a Kelly corner.

 

[Nick]

Thomas with a good run, cant get a shot off but lays it off to Kelly who shoots from range but easy save.

 

[Nick]

Kelly is spraying some good passes out wide to Thomas.

Yep no video or audio ATM

 

[Nick]

Why on earth is Bakayoko challenging their winger in our 18 yard box to block a cross?
