I'll wait and see how the game goes but on the face of it Im not happy with that selection. His job is to manage us in 3 competitions and try to do as well as possible in each. Not sort of slop around in one and try to do just enough to avoid relegation and sack off the other two.

You'd love The Castle by Kafka

So’s Val.

a mix of abce,with some added despair in as well

Good luck to the young lads out there today. Hopefully they can make an impression.

I was very close Find it insane that Joseph isn't on the bench though (unless its an injury... he didn't play for U21s in midweek & I assumed he would be at least on the bench today)

Hahahaha genuinely made me chuckle and I couldn't explain to everyone sat here 🤣

d)

It feels like a statement selection from the manager - but I'm not sure what the statement is. a). Sign me some damn players, look what I am reduced to b). I'm throwing in the towel, but I need you to sack me so I can collect two and a half years of compensation c). we are in genuine danger in the league and cannot afford the distraction of a cup run d). I'm untouchable, I do what I want e). I'm putting the academy prospects in the shop window in the hope that someone buys them rather than our first teamers alternative answers on a postcard???

Four from their starting line up v Stoke but even so they have experience. Toth will be busy!

Thanks. Seemed really odd to put a proven liability at LWB and play an actual LWB out of position.

I can’t recall a weaker first 11. We’ve fielded better reserve teams in the past. At least Toth should get plenty of match practice. I’m just glad I didn’t trudge up to my sons to watch the game now. The teams we were fielding in the old 3rd division would put six past that team.

Their manager said they were going full strength earlier in the week

Holy crap. I'll reserve judgement but..........

Just checked and their fans are saying they’ve put out a much stronger team than they all thought they would

Have Hull made a load of changes as well?

i can understand val resting a few but **** me i dont think we`de score a goal if we played for a week with that forward line,one can only hope hull are putting out a similar line up and are disinterested the wonder kid tyjon on the bench🙂

That or the same 3-4-2-1 we played last week

All fart no poo. Again.

Trying to work out the system. Maybe 3-4-3 with Powell and Diamini either side of Henriksson? Not expecting anything today but some positive performances from the youngsters would be something to take from the game

That forward line is hilarious... Hope the young lads can surprise us (as they have many times this season).

Wait Powel, Henrikson and Dlamini is our front 3? God help us

I am not sure I have ever seen as big a no confidence vote as that xi and squad and Riberio and Pickering! Really both of them need to go this window as clearly have absolutely no future with us. Will be interesting if it really is De Neve at LWB and Powell further forward or the other way round.

Must be up there for poorest quality starting 11 that we’ve ever fielded

He is,, although did win PL2 player of the month in October playing further forward
