jas0999 added 19:14 - Sep 9 Reasonable team. Personally don't like Douglas/Skuse in the middle, but away from home it's reasonable. Just hope we attack from the off.

juniorblue added 19:31 - Sep 9 prebbs007 you are already complaining and the game hasn't even started. Might not be my choice of team, but let's get behind them. Come on Town!

Surco72 added 19:32 - Sep 9 Hopefully the game won't be out of reach when we bring the more creative players on , personally don't think Dougls or Bru are better than Bish and would like to see a natural left sided player on left rather than forward . Up the Town

bluebare added 19:35 - Sep 9 why oh why oh why Douglas should not be in this team ever again with the other talent youth and pace available

BlueNomad added 19:36 - Sep 9 Prebbs is the most negative poster on this site. I think his credibility as a critic finishes with each comment. No doubt he will use his favourite word when he is challenged and call me an "idiot".

battyblue added 19:41 - Sep 9 Mccarthy will never change same style same old favourites same defence which has been shipping goals for eighteen months why bring in creative talent and park them on the bench.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 19:52 - Sep 9 Bit negative, perhaps, but not surprised. Hope we do make good use of some of our reasonably exciting new talent at some point. Would be a waste not to, surely. COYB!

prebbs007 added 20:01 - Sep 9 Well done Pragmatic. Another intelligent comment !!! The man just mystifies me with his selections. Why have all that creativity sitting on the bench ? Why bring them in to continue to play people out of position (chambers smith Sears) and last seasons failures Douglas etc. I don't get it. BUT I really hope I'm wrong !!!

OldClactonBlue added 20:58 - Sep 9 Negative,lacks the requisite quality, Bishop should always start. And the team he has picked has been dreadful!
