Harsh to drop Turner, but I'll trust BBM's judgement.
Suppose it was always likely that Trott would go straight into the team.
Agree with the rest of the team.

Strong bench if it's not working, can't wait!

Interesting that Lawlor partners Chambers. Willock needs to prove his worth today too. Hard on Turner but he was never going to be no one was he.

Three changes to our starting lineup - Trott, Chambers and Willock come into the XI!

I see Turner on the bench, no Ainswick or howarth does that mean they are both going?
Thu Aug 07, 2025 6:09 pm
Think Alnwick is 3rd choice at mo and horvath been told can go

No it doesn't.
BBM said after Saturday that Turner was the clear pick for that game with Alnwick as the sub, Horvath just not selected.
So tonight Trott is the pick to start with Turner as the sub.
I expect Horvath to leave but Alnwick will be staying.

Turner should not have been dropped and this sends out the wrong message that it doesn't matter how well you play, the manager will play his own signings in front of you.

Trott has been training for the last few days, before he was even announced.
If he's been doing better in training then he deserves to start.
I'll trust the manager's judgement.

I feel bad for Turner being dropped but BBM has probably spoken to young Turner & explained to him the whys etc. He's still young & there's plenty of time for him.

Totally agree. It was also really brave of BBM picking Turner on Saturday anyway. If Hovarth had played well and then was dropped for the new keeper no one would have sn issue. Turner will play all the cup games.

BBM picks the team based on training, so my guess is that Trott has really impressed him behind the scenes!
Big test for Lawlor tonight, he’ll be under a lot of pressure against a newly promoted side playing their first home game of the season. I reckon they'll go much more direct than we faced on Saturday.

BLUEBIRDS!!!!
Thu Aug 07, 2025 6:25 pm
no surprise Trott is straight into the team. A very important game for him.
Thu Aug 07, 2025 6:26 pm
Fancy a good away win , with a first win game under the belt it best orovide us with a platform to take some risks , get onto the front foot early on , and put down the marker
Thu Aug 07, 2025 6:31 pm
I really can't see Alnwick staying .
Not even making bench.
For his own good time to move on
Thu Aug 07, 2025 6:33 pm
Fingers crossed for another good performance and hopefully a win tonight.
A little surprised Willock got the nod on the left ahead of Robinson, Davies and Ashford, but I guess he must be putting the effort in during training to impress the gaffer.
Thu Aug 07, 2025 6:35 pm
You dont bring in a goalie on loan to put him on bench! Unlucky for Turner but that's football.
Thu Aug 07, 2025 6:35 pm
A little disappointed for Turner, but BBM seems to know Trott well, so will trust his judgement
Willock for Ashford is the right call after Saturday, but Cian will learn from the experience
Come on you Bloooobirds!
Thu Aug 07, 2025 6:43 pm
Easy win coming up.
Too strong a team for them.

We are going to absolutely walk this league
