Not sure why Williams is on the bench if he's not fit enough to start, if he is then we should be lining up with 3 in midfield. Happy that Piazon isn't here.

[RichTea94]

Piazon probably isn't there because there's 5 loans in the starting XI already.

4-4-2, or 4-3-3 with Vydra playing behind Sa? I feel we played better with the latter (although that was with HRK and a different midfield).

[ROWY]

McShane ?
Injured I guess

[ROWY]

Pleased that Fernandez is starting, I think he and Norwood compliment each other - both can find a player with a pass and are clever player - unlike Williams

Williams looked pretty inaffective over the last two games. Fernandez had something about him against Huddersfield.

LOL at BBCRB advertising a new series of the tellytubbys before a football match.

Not enthused by the line up. The back 5 is obviously fine, although I'm not keen on Clarke's chopping and changing at left back. Either stick with Obita, or give Taylor a proper run of three or four games on the bounce.

So we're either sticking with the shitty 4-4-2 that was dire against Huddersfield first half, with slightly different personnel, or we're going with a 4-3-3 come 4-2-4 that's light in midfield and hasn't really worked effectively since before Charlton.

I hope this is a blip and I know we've injuries, but I'm getting nervous that maybe the run from Brentford to Boro was the blip and Clarke is returning to last season's fare. He did a really good job over the summer with recruitment, but I'd really rather not get my optimism burnt twice by the same manager within twelve months.

@ the crowd.

[sandman]

Hector does realise that he's allowed to challenge Jones in the air?

It's a 4-2-3-1 with John left, Blackman right, and Vydra behind Sa.

Ps. Calm down

I think Vydra's playing pretty much up there, so 4-4-2, IMO. Not going to get the best out of Blackman, but hopefully he's on fire enough it doesn't matter.

[marlowuk]

He was caught offside earlier so maybe he's playing the lone (or even loan?) striker role? We are going to miss McShane's aerial prowess today I fear!

Just going by Charles Watts' observations who is at the game.

I will go with Ians radio choice

Birmingham, the only team we can overhaul today, are ahead, 0 - 2, at Fulham!

[sandman]

:lol: @ the crowd.

And they're getting restless, need to start imposing ourselves on this game.

[genome]

Watching the stream it does look like a front two. Bit of a shit match so far. Blackman just popped up on the left wing, are him and John switching?

[CountryRoyal]

Birmingham, the only team we can overhaul today, are ahead, 0 - 2, at Fulham!

That's because Fullham, who put 4 past us, aren't very good.

Like us.

Or like Huddersfield, who we couldn't beat at home, got thumped 0 - 3 at home to Leeds today?
