apart from Collins in goal and Dougall for Halme it’s pretty much our first choice 11 available Though we might have given Mowatt a rest at least
Same, pleased in one aspect as on paper it gives us a better chance of going through but with so many games ahead, resting a few more might have made more sense
If Woodrow is injured then that's probably the team he should have picked on Thursday, with the exception of Halme for one of the suicide twins at centre back.
No not tracking up to Crewe on a Sunday afternoon. Fear a repeat of Altringham I’d have gone to Eastleigh
The good thing about that lineup is that it actually gives us more of an opportunity to bring halme on at centre back
Dangerous game to play when we have a thin squad (at championship level) as it is. Should’ve played the fringe players and some kids.
I think this is a good move. We need every game to learn how to defend better consistently. Watching the Derby game showed that things haven't embedded yet, the defending was naive and ineffective. Reminded me of the ease with which Brentford broke our press and sliced us with good, direct through balls. If Derby had finished better it could have been a thrashing. Learn, practice, implement needs to be the mantra.
Yes I am a bit surprised. However, if he wants to keep developing and working on the full squad - then this is another opportunity. Looks like Woodrow is on his way though - if it is Leeds for 6.5 million then we can't really turn it down can we? This is the way the club survives.
