...but no Ward (in the squad) or Wilson or Fornah (starting) so we may struggle to create or defend against any breakaways.

[DCFC1388]

For such a big game that is a very weak bench with not much in terms of game changers

I think Wilson may be hardest done to in that line-up, but he's a good option to bring on against tired legs,  as is Weston. 

Ward and Washington both injured.

Can’t see where the goals are going to come from today. Play it wide, whip it across to errr…

Unfortunately, can’t see Collins getting any free headers today.

You have to play a man in form. It’s the “Soft Underbelly” we have to sort out .

[S8TY]

Agree , Collins doesn't open up space like Washington does and if Collins is not having a good game very little in way of different striker options off of the bench

Boring looking team full of old men

made it more palatable....😉

[Jimbo Ram]

Fornah in for Smith for me, midfield seems too similar and lacking in pace. We will see.

[S8TY]

Lets turn PP into  cauldron today and make some noise!!..... get behind the lads and lets get off to a flyer!! 👏

[rammieib]

9 of the 11 are Rosenoir signings (or academy), almost like that bloke knew what he was doing.

All the front six are Rosenoir signings.

This may not be a pretty football day.

Obvious why he’s gone Collins, but the bigger issue issue that midfield. Knife through butter out of possession. Fornah for Smith would’ve made sense.

Just hope that Collins remembers to take up the position that provided his 3 goals in the Wolves game. 👍🏻👍🏻🐏

It’s what we’ve got, and they’re not exactly pensionable age…

Wildsmith - 27

Nyambe - 25

Nelson - 30

Cashin - 22

Forsyth - 34

Smith - 32

Hourihane - 32

Bird - 23

Barkhuizen - 30

NML - 31

Collins - 32

Average age of 28 ish for the starting side? Maybe the experience will count for something and then there’s young options on the bench if needed. I’ll wait and see how it goes before passing judgement 🤷🏻‍♂️
