So what is the likely team? Balcombe Connolly Quansah Gibbons Anderson Coutts McCormick Bogarde Sinclair Loft Collins Bring Coburn on once Lofty has softened them up a bit! Drop Coburn for Loft? Really? Also not sure we’ll revert to a back 3 or 5 with Gibson still missing. I reckon the same back 4 as last week. Evans in for Finley with Ward playing in Finley’s position allowing Evans to play further forward. Same as last week up top with Sinclair and Collins wide of Coburn. The interesting selection for me will be whether Bogarde replaces Coutts.

Assuming JB was being honest yesterday then I doubt Evans will have recovered sufficiently to start tomorrow, although on present form McCormick could possibly be the better option.

Whilst Coburn has done nothing wrong and of late seems to be fighting a losing battle and getting no service, it would be good to see Loft discover the form of earlier in the season and have all 3 firing

We need to do something to shake things up. All the possession and passing but zero real chances of note

If you take no risk then you gain nothing. Yes, i agree with what you say but, as with Bodin and Hoskins, we certainly had the rewards. Sometimes, if you wish to win, you have to take a chance and i can understand why Barton has tried, it may yet work out, you never know as many managers tend not to be totally honest about progress and this is also not a bad idea. Id agree that sometimes its worth taking a risk, as its a chance to get players in that wouldnt normally drop this low. My issue is having too many in the squad all at once. Causes constant disruption, so very rare to play the same team back-to-back and get some settled rhythm going Completely agree also not great to have a truly bonded team. I am actually nervous about today. Not been like this since the nearly season.

Hoping we see a different set up today and maybe some more direct play. No point in high possession with no end product. Come on JB, swallow your pride and be more direct, at least until we have fit players who suit that kind of game
