Unless we have injuries that’s bobbins

That's a line up asking for a 4-3 win, or a 3-0 loss. Yikes.

Midfield looks flimsy as fuck.

4-0 Bolton

Dalby. Kenny 2. Rodrigues

Hope I’m wrong but I don’t think we will get anything with that line up,must be sickness or injuries.or has he picked one team for today and the missing ones for monday

Johnston next to Conway 

Looks about as weak as we could be.

Has to be injuries to midfielders to not have EE or Simons on the bench - if that’s the case though, I don’t understand why you don’t put the extra centre back in and make it more solid there. 5 at the back with Sheehan and RR in front would look a lot less fragile.

Let’s see if we can outscore them

They might surprise us, but we look far too lightweight to get anything today. Sadly can’t see anything other than a comfortable home win.

EE and XS must both be injured.

Compared to my team, that does suggestuggest Sheehan and Rodrigues as a two and then McAtee, Kenny and Gale in behind

No central midfielder on the bench either. Not a lot of mobility to change things up at all. 

The lack of Erhahon and Simons is odd. Got to be injury related 

Definitely needed some steel in the Middle. We have Sheehan who’s probably knackered along with a guy that’s got no bite or tackling ability whatsoever.

Oh who's that on the bench? it's Ritchie.

I think i remember being slaughtered on here for suggesting be included anywhere near the first team.

Funny that.

 

post match interview will be interesting. I hope he has just not given up today before we start. Thats a awful team period

Kyle Dempsey misses out due to family reasons.

Has he been fighting with his dad again?

Madness or genius?

I have no idea what to make of that selection.

Long ball tactic today miss out the midfield.

Given Dempsey, Erhahon and Simons are out it's no surprise he's there.

All out attack today. Could be fun

Well considering they haven’t played for nearly two weeks it seems strange to leave the likes of EE, XS and Forino out so surely it can only be some kind of illness or injury. Really pleased to see young Richie in the squad though and whatever happens I hope he gets chance for a run out.

Would make sense if he wasn't a no10.

No Ehrahon or Simons in squad at all, bit weird unless injured?

Bizarre. 

Probably injured, but doesn't look good from a midfield perspective.

Ok he's next up in the fit players all our other 10s are already playing.

It's hardly football genius understanding of the game that one of our better B team lads is on the bench when a bunch of other players in his position are out.

Agree with most very weak midfield bit worried about today now

Shit or bust

Don't get me wrong I hope Ritchie has a great game if he gets on and really challenges the 1st team.

But he'd be nowhere near the squad without the gang of players out for various reasons.

Dempsey, forss, ACD, CBT, Simons, Erhahon that's at least 6 ahead of him in the pecking order.

Indeed

He's got a spot in the eighteen he wouldn't otherwise have got because of an injury crisis (assuming injury is the reason we're so short) 

But many a young player gets their break in similar circumstances, so if he gets some minutes let's hope he makes the most of it
