Loss I think

PNE Hull on Sat is another good fixture for us on Sat, one of them dropping points

It feels like our squad is getting smaller and more tired, this game coming on Friday is not ideal, I'd be delighted with a point.

Bit of a knock, nothing to worry about but not worth the risk

90 mins of playing keep ball vs some part timers and Kelly is starting again? No thanks.

I think we probably lose this whatever we do but stick to a back 4, Eccles and Torp midfield, Wright Simms Palmer front 3.

Anyone know why Bell was 2nd keeper. Where was Collins and Moore? Is Collins ill? Really strange why he isn't playing?

Prepare to be disappointed lads because the wing back system is back and will be for the remainder of the season due to the Tats injury

or it's 90 mins showing he's fit enough to play a part like he did at the end of last season.

We need leadership and a calm head. If he's got Torp alongside him, I can see it working.

As much as we all will be disappointed to hear this - it’s getting to that stage where don’t have much option /fitting square pegs round holes.
Example palmer can’t be trusted wide left or right of that attacking 3 really, especially against better teams.

in robins and team we trust.

We weren't playing badly with it at the start of the season, we just weren't taking our chances and concededing the odd stupid goal.

When Sheaf is fit you can then also use the box with him, Torp, O'Hare and Palmer - that has great potential.

In that case MVE really has to step and use his pace effectively

Im guessing it also means JDS the other side

I'd rather see box than 2 up front against WBA

Yeah, people are editing history a bit. We dominated games, didn't take chances. Different situation now.

Agree with this and Palmer instead of Wright if he isn't fit.

Simms can play the lone role so it doesn't mean we have to play two up top so Palmer and O'Hare can play off him

Thomas Lati Kitching
MVE Eccles Torp Bidwell
O’Hare
Simms Wright

I think some are forgetting how good Bidwell is at getting up there, last season he was always positioned ready in both defence and attack so a switch to a 5 doesnt mean he drops out

I think having played Lati in midfield this season he will make an ideal sweeper and be comfortable bringing the ball into midfield

It might work with a bit better now we've got Torp in there and O'Hare back actually.
