    Really disappointed that Connell is out. He’s our heartbeat, & his replacement has massive shoes to fill, whoever it may be.

    Duff has gone with Russell, who’s been unimpressive so far. However Russell has undoubted talent that needs tapping into, & given the opposition, this game could turn into the Russell show. Fingers crossed.




    Doubt it though

    C'mon mate - there's been literally dozens of players who've looked worse than Russell has looked.

    I was hoping Connell would take Chaplin completely out of the game. We usually miss Luca massively. But step up Russell. Hopefully he can show us what he's about.

    We're ******. There's not much dynamism or mobility in Kane and Russell and I fear our midfield will be basically non-existent. If we win this Duff should get a statue.

    I don’t really rate Benson but would see him as a much more appropriate replacement for Luca than Russell. Let’s hope he proves me wrong

    I can't even begin to imagine why it would be tactical? Not even on the bench? Duff has done excellent for us this season, we shouldn't insult him by thinking daft. :D

    Can I start a rumour that we’ve agreed to sell him to Wendys at the end of the season and can’t play him.

    Not a hope in hell without Connell. Zero chance.

    I suppose the bigger question is when will Connell be back? He needs to be fully fit for the play offs.

    Agree...think our midfield needs the impetus that Connell brings. L I keep Kane but not the quickest and needs a bit off fizz (like Russell) in their game...hope we are wrong.

    Hope he's just had a dodgy kebab, an injury this close to the end of the season is disastrous!

    We really missed him and JR is no replacement.

    Didn't think he had a bad game to be honest.

    Feared the worst when I saw the team sheet before the game. Luca is so key for us and even though Russell didn’t do too badly, he’s no Connell.

    I’m intrigued to see what Russell will be like next season after having a pre season with us.
