Here we go then, the first away match thread of the season.

Oxley, Demetriou, Barrett (c), Sokolik, Coker, McGlashan, Leonard, Atkinson, McLaughlin, Mooney, Cox

Subs: White, Thompson, O'Neill, King, Bridge, Williams, Smith

No Ranger then!
 
That bench terrifies me

Dissapointing no Ranger but not a shock as that's classic PB to big a player up in the press and then not involve him but if he isn't 100% then don't play him as you risk making an injury worse and then he's out for months rather than weeks

Not a bad line up at all on paper but we need to let Leonard boss that midfield and move further forward, leave Atkinson as the defensive anchor
 
Id love to see a win today , but I'm expecting a very tough game and possibly a heavy defeat , which will only increase pressure on PB going into another very tough game on Tuesday.

UTB
 
Hope I'm wrong but I can't see us getting anything today. See Brown is sticking with Mooney, but I assume because there's no other option.
 
Quick question. If we win today , for some will it be inspite of Phil and not because of Phil and if we lose is Phil's fault ?

I have no idea of what the result will be , avoiding defeat would be good , especially away from home.

Well done to those that have gone

I hope you are wrong too BUT I can't see that an attack with Mooney or a midfield with Atkinson will give us much positive momentum.
For the life of me I can't understand why King, Bridge are on bench as they did as well & better than others Tuesday; AND why not have Ranger on the bench unless he is so far from being fit that 10 minutes as a sub would be too much?
 
Great going forward but always going to be dodgy at the moment in midfield or defensively with the tough tackling defensive qualities of Atkinson, Mc Glashen and Mc Laughlin. Need to score early, go two up and bring on as many defenders as we can muster. looking at that side Dont always blame the back four, we need a more sturdy, creative and combative midfield not one that capitulates and drifts away as last two games . Player strengths / character? system? or both
