Swansea City away

[Trinidad Rover]

We’re being shafted by things outside our sphere of control now. That’s a very weak team.

Matter of time before football is suspended again?

Starters are not much better some of em.  The man simply has to go.  Evans and seemingly round pegs square holes again.

Pears

Nyambe
Lenihan
Williams
JRC

Holtby
Trybull
Buckley

Elliott
Armstrong
Brereton

is my best guess going off official and non-official team news

Just one out. Evans preferred over Buckley.  

Would be interesting to know if these players do actually have COVID-19 or if they just have cold symptoms. How can we expect to get through this season if we aren’t testing players regularly enough to rule it out? What if we end up relegated for the sake of the cost of a few tests...

About the weakest I can recall. First XI isn’t much better. Wonder if a national lockdown will include halting football again?

Surely the players in question get tested? That or someone in their household has it.

Another rovers line up that’s full of gaping holes. I’ll be amazed if we don’t concede two at least.

1-0 rovers.

During his self isolation he sat for too long on the sofa and put his back out according to TM?

Have to win today, weve had a crap start and cant feel sorry for ourselves, there is plenty of senior experience there to get a result.

I'd be very happy with a point looking at that line-up. 

All down to whether we can manage to score as many as we concede. As always. 

COYB!!!

thats how much info i have on him,mistaking him for the ?west ham defender who got stabbed in the **** by his sister

[JHRover]

The plan today should be to go and keep it tight. Start from a clean sheet. If we do that and come away with a 0-0 then that will be something and represent progress. If we do that and then score on the counter or off someone's backside in the 95th minute then brilliant.

Going there and trying to outfootball and outscore them is naive and will likely see a tanning.

David Hayes WWF style advertising campaign has won you over then ?

Talks more twaddle than TM on a bad day.

 

Absolutely, I get sucked in everytime. 

What can I say, I love the sport. And like with Rovers I'm an eternal optimist. Always think a humdinger of a scrap will break out and I'll miss it.

Pretty sure I paid for Bellew Cleverley. ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

Yep, folk like me are the reason Eddie drives a Bugati, I'm fully aware of that.

bloody suicidal to go into this game playing 4-3-3 there will be so much space between our midfield and defence the swansea lads will think it`s christmas already

[Tom Stinny]

Why couldn't Harvey Elliot play as a number 10 with the Dolan on the wing. He'd give as much battle as Evans and play a 4231 with holtby and trybul as holders.

 

Anything for Evans out of the team

I think this is the way I would have gone. Dolan for Evans with Elliott playing in the middle.

Ayew is a cert to score with the gapping holes in our defence.

Always looks a cut above championship when I’ve seen him.

Oh so it's better to screw the hospitals and health care instead?

he`s a class act,either kick him off the park or shut him down with man marking,worst thing to do is to give him any space

The RFU have just declared that the season for the 3rd tier and below are now cancelled for this season. That'll mean quite a few clubs will go under.

As for the game, I expect a thrashing with what we've got on the pitch.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Lots of goals. I think we'll lose 5-2.

When we lose Mowbray to mention Covid within 3 seconds in the post match interview.

Surely Douglas has been training all week as this has just surfaced.  Will all his team mates at training not need to isolate?...

[Miker]

The reaction to the lineup on here is much milder than I expected given both Bennett and Evans are starting!!
