    I know we are short of LWB, but I am getting frustrated with Chambers. A young man full of potential but not doing anything for us at the moment

    I'd rather see

    Mannion 
    Ramsay Jones Bell Chambers
    Docherty Carey Rankin-Costello 
    Fevrier Dykes Campbell

    Than the 352 we'll actually line up in

    Both my parents are at the game today, my mum with her season ticket and my dad with the rest of the unwashed in the away end. 

    We better get a result or she won’t hear the end of it. 😓

    Must say, pitch is looking good from the CATV perspective...

    Love the trees in their Spring Green foliage behind the Jimmy Seed stand.
    It really is a pleasant Valley landscape.

    So has Small fallen out of favour recently then? They apparently are paying him a decent wedge up there.

    I wouldn't say not doing anything. We have a better shape with a naturally left sided player even if his performances have been unspectacular.

    Is he going to be dressing up as well?

    TC starting upfront again. Like that has worked before.. ..🙄

    And we have 3 strikers on the bench.

    And people wonder why we are 3rd bottom for goals scored. And wonder why we dont win games if we concede first.
    We were far better going forward against Watford with TC on the pitch than we were the game before with Kelman alongside Dykes.

    Might be 4-3-3/4-2-3-1, in which case the moan can change to “why are we only playing a one striker”.
    We scored at Watford once a proper second striker came on......and he scored within a minute.

    Have a dig at me all you like (and you @Herminator) but we've played 41 games this season mainly playing the same way & the only time TC looks threatening is later on in games when he is out wide.


    Interestingly, Kelman is third in the table of goals scored and minutes on the pitch, so there is certainly more than a grain of truth in what Golfie is saying.

    Nothing screams "gentry" more than a t-shirt and plastic bowler hat.

    TC created chances earlier in the game that we missed and had a good first half.

    Perhaps we should be playing TC and Godden, rather than dropping TC. But then Godden probably isn’t fully fit.

    Blimey that's some away kit. I thought they had their training bibs on.

    Preston's kit is a bit bright, a dayglo lime/yellow (can't tell from this distance) with what looks like dark blue shorts.

    We're dressed pwoper.

    From what I have read he has received some mistaken racial abuse online and that may have affected him.

    If we play today anything like we did last season then it will be the 433 shape in possession and 352 defensively, it remains to be seen if we're capable of running that hybrid shape at this level

    A good start from TC there…

    Ooh! Very nearly a goal of the season contender inside 60 secs!

    TC being lazy down the left getting past defenders, put in a decent cross that was headed clear but the shot from the edge of the box just cleared the bar.

    First time volley from Doc, just over the bar, close to a dream start...

    Correction, he naturally drifts out wide, puts a decent cross in and Doc almost converts on the volley

    Great work and ball in from TC, no one there. Out to Doc with a brilliant Volley just over

    Preston should have done better with that shot.
