TEAM 18:45 - Feb 14 with 2844 views | SitfcB | Just why is the team released to the public dead on an hour before KO? The clubs exchange with the ref etc about an hour and a half before KO don’t they? Who made up the hour rule?? [Post edited 14 Feb 2023 18:46]

TEAM on 18:48 - Feb 14 with 2340 views | TalkingBlues | Well, I predicted the shape right and I thought he might go a bit unorthodox, but I didn’t think it would be THAT unorthodox! Oh well, let’s see how they get on, definitely not the team I would have picked. |  |

TEAM on 18:52 - Feb 14 with 2126 views | belgablue | No CMs on the bench again - bit of a worrying situation. Team looks strong though. COYB! |  |

Let’s all wait until Frimmers gives his opinion..The team selected includes Burns , Walton and Morsy all of whom have received criticism. |  | |  |
TEAM on 18:54 - Feb 14 with 2043 views | Stewart27 | Hmmmmm Players who score and generally play well in that front 3/4 seem to get dropped for the next game quite easily. Not sure what the thinking is but I feel this has played a bit of a part in our poor form. |  | |  |

Luongo noticeably absent. Could do without him and Evans being injured. Attackers off the bench is madness for L1. 0-0 it is then. |  |

He changes it every game. How can we get consistency in performance and results when he makes 4/5 changes every game. It smacks of trying to keep everyone happy. Wait for 60 minutes when we make 4 changes. Predictable. |  | |  |

Am I due a whoosh? What’s unorthodox about it? |  | |  |
TEAM on 18:59 - Feb 14 with 1883 views | DinDjarin | Surprised Burns gets another run out, thought Jackson may have had a start on right. |  | |  |
TEAM on 19:02 - Feb 14 with 1758 views | StochesStotasBlewe | Like that. Need to start and maintain a high tempo. Great options from the bench. Broadhead went off with a knock on Saturday so not surprised he’s not starting. COYFB. |  |

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

TEAM on 19:02 - Feb 14 with 1755 views | Samuelowen88 | Be good to see us stick with a CB pairing for a run of games. The offense side is fine, but cant but feel keeping a settled CB paring will help us. |  |

Definitely - not ideal having 3 CMs crocked and the extra one brought in to cover also being crocked. I'm confident tonight. |  |

I'm pretty sure McKenna's selections aren't based on keeping people happy, you'd kind of think his approach is beyond that of the Under 11s. |  | |  |

Well, the Woolf has had 2 or 3 awful games on the trot and yet still gets the nod in the central CB spot, Aluko and Harness starting ahead of Chaplin and Broadhead is very dubious IMO, we’re swapping goals up top for people who haven’t got many goals, plus who is going to take penalties and free kicks? Aluko has a great eye for playing people through behind the defence, but he has Ladapo playing who is a hold up man so who’s on the end of a defence splitting ball? Let’s see what happens, but looks a completely unbalanced team to me up top, but Rovers are woeful so let’s see how it goes. |  |

Midfield situation is a big worry because this is all a big ask for Humphreys and we will soon enough miss Morsy for a couple of games too. It's classic Town that we sign three central midfielders and all, plus another key one in Evans, sustain complicated injuries. |  |

I think he is (trying to keep everyone happy, that is) And I think it’s having a detrimental effect on results. Mystifying. |  |

Odd that nobody was complaining about the rotation at the start of the season when we were winning regularly. I do find the idea that this is an attempt to keep players happy, rather than being decisions based on fitness and tactical approach, to be a rather baseless theory. |  |

Rotation and predictable subs on 19:22 - Feb 14 with 1331 views | Dyland | Great when everyone (including coaches) is on top of it.... COYFB Edit: also great when you're flat track bullies. Some seem oblivious to the fact other teams/players aren't total jelly heads... [Post edited 14 Feb 2023 19:26]

Luongo is beginning to look like another Camara! With Evans apparently wandering around in a leg brace, implying he’s going to be out for a while, central midfield could be a problem if we pick up any more injuries there. |  | |  |
