Right. Let’s get this clear. We are playing an injury ravaged team that Ben Reeves and Frank Nouble can’t get into. Just hold that thought Lee and go for it.

I got the shivers for a moment, thinking you were talking about us!!
Maatsen playing in midfield gives us the pace that we’ve been desperately missing. I can see the logic behind it.
Matthews is obviously the better player compared to Purrington but we’ll have to wait and see how he does as a left back. It could be a good way of getting both of them in the team.
You could always share your own positive view (of the lineup) to help brighten things up
I don’t really have a positive or negative view until I see how it plays. Hopefully it goes well but even if it doesn’t, we have a very strong bench and 5 available subs.
I don’t see any reason to be as glum as people are making out
Fair enough, but it's not a wild accusation for people to call it a defensive lineup, and it's perfectly fine for people to have a negative view of it being defensive when we're playing at home against a side in the form of Plymouth.
Ive found a thing saying 'settings' on my laptop - something like quality settings - it's on auto but there's other possibilities 300p and that sort of thing. What on earth is that?
Looks like a back 5 to match up to them. Don't have a problem with that particularly as it gives us some much needed width.
Not sure wi would have Watson with a back 5 though personally. I think JFC could play the Cullen role and Pratleys best games have come when he has been stepping between midfield and defense. He knows exactly when to come out and when not to. Watson will still be operating in similar areas.
Good to see the pace of Smyth on the bench. Will help massively second half whether we are winning or chasing the game. Hope Morgan gets a run out too.
Crawley suggesting on twitter Maatsen will be playing midfield which would mean Matthews at LB?
Makes no Purrington an even weirder decision. Must be injured.
After listening to Curbs talk about how Plymouth lined up last week against MK Dons I think it will be 5 at the back, with Maatsen and Matthews as wing backs. Although that then leaves a back 3 of Pearce, Pratley & Gunter. Yikes !!
Too many players out of position for my liking, could have put round pegs in those holes but Bowyer does like to keep us guessing and doubt many of us predicted that.
Pretty decent team... What can we moan about this afternoon pre-match?
Subs will be a bit shit too with Oshilaja the only defensive option
TBF as a non moaner but someone who will always speak my mind about all things football tactics I hope we start on the front foot today as we have been for too negative other than 2nd half against Wimbledon.

I always thought it was Anekey and opposition commentators were getting it wrong
Chooks like hens

Crackletastic.
Filmed the interview with the winner already; so hard to pretend you're surprised.
See how it goes I guess
