Flint sub after a few good performances when others have struggled. A strange one.

Assume we’re actually going to keep it on the floor then

Collins injured??
Prefer Flint to Morrison ....given 100% every game

The next 90 mins will be telling...

Gkad to see the skipper back (I know many won't agree) and Keiron Davies, too!

Good luck to all involved and bring home some positive news!

Nothing between morrison and flint possibly flint has been better of the 2 but maybe resting and flint has been the one at the end of matches clapping fans and beating his chest very suprised how poor morrison was playing to be honest easily passed by speedy forwards and looked very disinterestedbut got no problem wirh seeing humin the side he must be fit.

When the training photos came out this week Morrison was one of the happiest faces on there,make of it what you like!
Good bet for a goal today.

That's Giles at wingback isn't it

Collins injured??

Yes. Hand injury.

Good luck today guys.
Players being played in their correct positions will be a big difference today.
Onwards and upwards bring the points home.
Due a goal or 2 in first half.

That's Giles at wingback isn't it

Just trying to work it out, looks like that to me if not mguness right back mozz nelson and ng leftback

4-3-3 formation?

I know he’s everyone’s scapegoat but I am delighted to see Bacuna back in the middle of the park. As a winger I understand the criticism he gets, but in the middle of the park he was a great performer under Harris.

Personally I dont rate Ciaron Brown or Mark Harris.

Neither do I.

Both possibly going in January window!

Both not strong enough to be Championship regulars. Not selling Brown was another ridiculous decision by McCarthy when the club has four other centre backs.

The team today is the best we can do and unfortunately defeat number nine is on its way. We can change the manager all we like but our team is poor and I don't buy this we are under performing. The team are poor. And we really could be record breaking for all the wrong reasons. A draw today would be a great achievement.

Agree with you Annis. Both league 1 players at best

This is probably the best team available to morison, not far off anyway. Guessing its a back 3 with NG and Giles as wingbacks?

Good to see bacuna back in his strongest position. Need a massive performance today. Id be happy with a draw just to stop the rot and morison can build from there with a few players coming back from injury.

Couln't pick a better team today with what we have available

whatever it is its not working is it ??

How about seeing if our so called league one players are given time to develop before we bin them.

Can you imagine this forum and crowd with a young coach with a footballing philosophy playbook. He'll get slaughtered by the modern day fast food fan base after a few bad results.

Irony is most on here said over the last week that we need to be patient with Morison and the team.

Knew that would never happen.

Until we have a team devoid of Vaulks, Bacuna, Ng and Nelson who were atrocious today then we’ll never out a team capable of competing in this division.
Creditable comeback or not.
