    I'm watching the Southampton game and they're still playing. Although it's still 2-1

    BBC showing it as a 3-1-4-2 with Anderson and Leaburn up top and diamond of Coventry, Olafe and Fullah.

    Not expecting anything from today but glad we are least trying something different upfront 
    Yes, I think it would be unfair to lay a criticism at Jones re; that selection.  He’s trying something that on paper looks sensible, and not relying on the likes of Docherty and TC 
    100% mate as I said not expecting anything today I just hope whatever happening we don’t go back to the same old next week when it really counts. You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. TC on the last 15 mins might be a different player

    Sky have also gone with that. Back three all over the place as well.

  • If NJ is bemoaning having both Kanu and Mbick out on loan wasn't it him who said he wanted a smaller squad and presumably allowed both to go out on loan.

    I think Campbell's role in the second Boro goal might have been the straw that broke the camels back, plus one of Campbell's most nondescript performances last season was at this ground. On the plus side, some energy in midfield with Anderson and lets hope Fuller settles quickly, he took a while to do that on Tuesday.

    Yes, I think it was the irony of it...

    Wasn't that decision made on the anticipation of Godden's return ?

    Apter should be starting for me. Only given 12 minutes on Tuesday and immediately created a goal. Gives us a real threat from the right. We’ve lost five on the bounce and this guy could help us get a result. Jones clueless.

    Unfortunately it's still the same defence. 3-0 to Birmingham.

    Was going to like this until the last sentence.

    Commentators assuming Fullah at wingback. This is a very big ask and means he is ahead of TC, Rousillon and Costello who all have played in that position.
    Very big ask.

    He’s trying something different again so hopefully it puts the nonsense that he’s stubborn to bed.

    Unfortunately I don’t think the result will be any better.

    Jones explained in midweek that Apter isn't starting, because we dont have a natural option at Left Wing-Back

    Whether you want to believe that or not, is up to you - But it makes sense

    Hopefully 3-5-2 (ish) as Gillesphey is shocking in a two. Nice to see Anderson in again he was really good against this mob last season and it ended up being the turning point of the season. Return to winning ways today! 
  • We're winning 1-2 today...

    Just noticed that not only has Beadle dropped out of the starting line up he isn’t even in the squad

    I reckon there’s a chance that if we can manage three early goals today we come away with a point….
