I suspect Mowbray will bench at least one of them.

He's playing it at the moment but I would suggest he's not ideally suited to the position. He'd go better playing along side another striker in a 4-4-2 formation. Just my opinion of course.

Anybody who guesses the correct starting line up is wasted on here. I can't see it being the same as Saturdays and next Friday's will be different again.. Can we afford to pay Ayala for a game yet ?

Nyambe won't be playing too close to the centre halves just because he feels like it. He's playing there because he's been told to play there. Most modern full backs play too close to the centre halves in my opinion but what do I know. Regarding JRC - was he the one that waved a foot at that cross that Smith should have scored from ?

He's been asked to do too much. Right Back, auxillary Right Wing, Centre Half cover. We just need two full backs to defend properly and let the attacking players do their stuff.

I can't see more than a handful starting Sat, Tues, Fri this week.

Or right back.

It's over for Rhodes at our level. There should be no room for sentiment in football. That's if you want to win things that is.

Cue Britt Assombolonga rumours. He seems to be another one on the way out.

Sorry, you're wrong there. The lad can play in the last third. Corry's never been there.

He'd be an improvement over what we've got at the moment, that's for sure. My issue is - has he been found out at Sheff Utd and that's his only way of playing ? I'm impressed by the way he's kept them plugging away although they were dead and buried by Xmas and their squad is pretty poor.

Yes, a nice ball to the left back - who should have been a couple of yards wider out if I'm being picky. He made it easier for Buckley but harder for himself. I like players who can spread the play effectively though. The ref got in a decent position and then allowed himself to be unsighted by other players. You can't give what you don't see. Although some refs would have done !

Much as I'd like to play the same team - Sat, Millwall - Tue, Swansea - Fri, Brentford means that changes are inevitable. The only good thing is there isn't any travelling involved.

Come on matey, the ball to Gallagher was worth the £10 fee alone. Speed of thought and a lovely touch. If that had been a certain midfield player not far from here ?

The run for the Dack " trip " was a great piece of play. It deserved a goal.

And we scored first with a lucky deflection. . That makes a big difference. Lucky goals are better than ordinary goals in one respect, you start to think " This is going to be our day for once ".

I'll remember him as the guy who wasted 3 seasons and £12 million in the process if he goes in Summer.

Having a target man who is prepared to turn a bad pass into a good pass with pure willingness to chase balls down is a massive asset in every team. That's one of the things that made Bellamy and Speedie such difficult opponents. Size isn't everything in a striker. I don't think Armstrong is as keen to chase lost causes as Dolan is. Dolan's got a trick or two on the ball, Armstrong is just pure pace.

I like the lad but he was playing in the first half wasn't he ?

If they'd have played a bit more instead of just watching they wouldn't be taken in so easily.

Two draws would do me in our next two games, keep the little bit of momentum going.

I think it's vital that we pick up some points out of the next four games. If we were to lose all those we would be in a run of 1 win and 10 losses in 11 games. Confidence would be on the floor by then so even beating the weaker teams would be a big ask. Getting something from Swansea on Tuesday would be a good start.

If he is going it's handy having two teams chasing him. The fee may go up. I wonder if he really was injured yesterday or just " his head wasn't in the right place ". For me although he's a better bet than Rhodes was because of his pace I still don't think he'll make the step up. If you're playing with one up front he's not the answer and that's how Brighton play at the moment. As a wide player he's average championship level.

He's on loan as far as I know.

You made a strange choice if you're trying to understand football. Any team that Mowbray organises is not going to be much of an example to go by.
