    He’s missing Cambridge as he’s got five yellows.

    What would you do? For me you pick the same team (possibly rotating Watters and Humphrys if he feels like it) and play much the same way, just bringing in Craig for Connell.

    Will Clarke be thinking the same? Or will he change more do we think?

    Considering Benson has disappeared again, and Nwakali didn’t get on last night but Craig did, it seems the obvious choice.

    Craig for Connell.

    I don’t mind who starts in Watters / Humphrys. Both deserve to start but the other will still probably get 30+ minutes so not a big worry.

    I thought Watters was excellent. Held the ball up, chased loose balls, and his movement created space for others. I feel that Humps is much better footballer than Watters, but he's a great weapon to have on the bench. I'd be happy if either of them started next week.

    Minimal changes. Get into a rhythm.

    Agreed. DKD where Phillips plays and Humphrys where DKD was last night.

    I think I’m another in the camp of simply bringing Craig in for Luca.

    Humphrys probably deserves to come into the team but I don’t want to see Russell dropped deeper because of it. Minimal changes from last night I would say.

    Craig for the defensive side of his game.
    Rovrum mate said Cambridge played Hoof ball for the whole game when they played em. Worst game he's ever watched. So may not need a replacement midfielder.
    Also Said we should have won more comfortably last night.

    Absolutely do not play Russell in the holding role.

    Just straight swap for Connell with Craig.

    Anyone else worried it was going to be a red card last night? Blooming terrible challenge. Borderline yellow / red for me.

    Awful challenge he was lucky it was late in the game. Keep it simple Craig in for Connell.

    I wasn't thinking it was a red, but it was one of those where my eyes were on the ref waiting to see what colour he pulled.

    Craig in for Connell, possibly Humphrys in for DKD. I'd like to see Watters and Humphrys together up front.

    Russell hasn’t been called up for Jamaica, selfishly good for us considering we have no Connell.

    Craig in. Russell is a danger near the box so we need to keep him far away from our and near to the opponents box.
