They’ll be smarting after getting banged at Rotherham. Games are only easy in this league when you’ve gone out, done the business, and made them easy. Thinking it’ll be easy before you’ve even kicked a ball only ends one way. The lack of first choice defenders could really hurt us.

I agree it’s a risk. To be honest it’s a big risk. The thing with Ayala is when he does go missing it’s usual for months not the odd game. But who do we play in his place ?

Bradford Northern/Bulls rugby league ground.

When I saw him live there was a group of lads from a rugby team sat on the front row. They walked out after about 10 minutes. I’m surprised that a fringe venue shut him down, that’s not what the fringe is all about.

Both lads appear to be injury prone I’m afraid.

3) Rovers 6) Odsal 7) Ibrox. 9) Shrewsbury. 10) QPR.

I see Jerry Sadowicz got banned at the Edinburgh Festival. He’s a very funny but also a very scary comedian. There is nothing he won’t make a joke out of. He’s also the most brilliant magician I’ve ever seen. He’s at “ mind blowing “ level when it comes to card tricks.

Especially when one of the other centre halves is Ayala. Wharton has missed games through injury also.

Do you honestly think players at Championship level just run out and play wherever they feel like playing ? He’ll have been playing exactly where he was told to play by the coaching staff. Anybody who disregarded their explicit instructions would have the hard word. If they ignored that they would be subbed.

You better take you boots tomorrow then.

And then Ayala cries off in the warm up again. We’d have Phillips and Pickering playing there with Pears to come on as sub.

Well if you can get injured in the warm up.

Which time ? It happened more than once.

Reading that we’re lucky to have him. What an apprenticeship he’s had. He sounds like a brilliant bloke. Feet on the ground but with his head in the clouds. A difficult act to pull off. Then there is the elephant in the room - our owners.

I’m unusually confident about this. We’re good enough to get a draw. Wallace v Pickering and Swift v Travis crucial areas of the game.

You’ve got to be really, really good to football your way out of this league.

Watford aren’t that good and Dennis is at Forest having a medical. He’s going to be a big loss.

Exactly. The new Jason Roberts, but very handy at this level.

Watford must be losing one of Dennis or Sarr.

At least 4 wasted seasons.

Me too. I see they rested quite a few tonight.

I’m enjoying the Thomason reign well enough. Like a breath of fresh air.

There are plenty of pluses, as well as the minuses.

Congrats. Your life will never be the same again.

Yeah, I’m trying to forget what ever it was.
