Jake Rooney not making the bench is always baffling to me. 

Same here. He'd be straight on the pitch at CB for me if he was there.

Davies and Roberts on for Fozzy and Hourihane at half-time please. Push Sibbo further forward and play Knight alongside White in the middle.

Terrible defending. WTF is going on?!

Nice one Didzy! Straight back at them!

Something needs to be changed sooner rather than later, this is ducking awful!

What's the point in a linesman if you're just going to ignore him?!

Although, saying that, far too casual by Fozzy... shouldn't have been a decision to make in the first place.

McGoldrick the coolest man in the building again. Get in!

I'd go with:

                 Wildsmith
Smith  Forsyth  Cashin  Roberts
          Knight  Hourihane
 Mendez-Laing  Sibley  Dobbin
               McGoldrick

I'd still like to see what Sibbo could do in a more advanced role at this level for a few games in a row. COYR

Well this hasn't been great so far... Plenty of possession but not particularly doing much with it!

I'd give Collins another 15mins to do something then change it. Doesn't score enough for a centre-forward. McGoldrick with Sibbo or Knight behind would be more effective in this game IMO.

Well what do I know?... I should bad mouth players more often... Nice finish JC ?

Not liking the look of this ref... getting no decisions going our way so far!

Probably one for the U21s. Need some more options at that level after our time in admin left the youth sides pretty decimated.

Have this guy and Sibbo ever been seen in the same room?

Olosunde would be decent back up. Had a good season with Rotherham a few years back. Very quick!

Still need an option up front... and preferably one that offers something slightly different to what we've already got. If I've got the rules correct (and we get a RB on a free), we're allowed 1 more loan player in a matchday squad. A few suggestions that have got pace (I watch a lot of academy football!) and would possibly be available for loan: Mateo Joseph from Leeds, Divin Mubama from West Ham, Reyes Cleary from West Brom (watch out for this lad, he seems to be a bit of a goal machine!). One of those would do nicely.

Thought someone said he had signed for a club abroad..

Indeed. He's gone to play for Hatta out in the Arab Emirates.

... mad decision...

How about Tyler Walker from Cov, local lad, 26 years old and out of contract in the Summer. Had a poor time of it in recent seasons but did score 14 in 29 for Lincoln in league one in the 19/20 season.

Good suggestion! Definitely the sort of age we should be looking at... and there doesn't seem to be many like that that would be available either on a free or for loan. We've already got JC and McGoldrick to take the 'experienced striker' roles.

GET IN THERE MENDEZ-LAING! WHAT A TURNAROUND.

Their CB Smith looks like a right **** need to score to shut him up.

Never mind shutting him up, we could do with signing him at the end of the season! Contract coming to an end and I didn't realise he was only 26... seems like he's been playing for Vale forever!

Also, it's starting to show how big a player Cashin is for us.

Time for some changes... Collins and Springett on to freshen it up please.

Barks not having one of his better games so far!

I know the pitch isn't great, but we need to mix it up a bit more than just going long every time!

Could do with a couple of changes... It's all getting a bit scrappy!

Wouldn't mind seeing JC and the new lad get some game time. Drop McGoldrick (that's McGoldrick, not McCauldrick Charlie Palmer!) slightly further back... his composure on the ball could calm it down a bit in the middle.

New contracts for three of the youngsters:

 

Jack Thompson is the big one. Future England no1 right there if he carries on the same trajectory.
