Agree , think he needs more games , watch his hamstringI can only presume this match has come too soon for Garbutt.
Don't get me wrong, I think Gabriel has now shown enough to warrant a place in the side, but I can understand Critch's decision to go with Turton even if I don't agree with it.I can't. It's a really poor selection for me. Hopefully we win but the way Turton and Husband played last week should have meant they are lucky to get on the bench.
It's the hour before a Blackpool match. I call it the AVFTT knife sharpening hour.
Meh people are allowed their opinion.It's the hour before a Blackpool match. I call it the AVFTT knife sharpening hour.
Sounds as if you're glad he's dropped Voy.He was dreadful at Donny remember.
Chief culprit!Meh people are allowed their opinion.
Anyway, a win is what we all want in the end. So let's hope it's that come later on.
There will be a few posters with their choppers out for Critch if we lose.Critchley's put his neck on the block with that selection. Lack of trust in Gabriel and Garbutt defensively? Also, no Madine with Yates! Just hope it works out.
Neither glad nor sad. I don't know the reasons - but he was poor in our last league game.Sounds as if you're glad he's dropped Voy.
So was Turton and Husband especially. But not allowed to say that apparently...Neither glad nor sad. I don't know the reasons - but he was poor in our last league game.
Oooerrr I do hope notThere will be a few posters with their choppers out for Critch if we lose.

Of course you're allowed. Jesus!So was Turton and Husband especially. But not allowed to say that apparently...
If we change to 443, then we might win with the extra man!!If this is a 442 we have a chance if for some bizarre reason we’ve changed back to 443 I think we know the result now.
It can work but the players have to realise Yates is not Madine. Start knocking balls up to him in the air and their centre halves will be all over him. He's just not got the physical attributes of Madine. Get the balls into his feet or knocking it into the channels and then he has a chance.Looks like I might be one of the few on this thread that quite likes this. 4-2-3-1, Keshi tucked in behind Yates. Ward dropped presumably because he wants his two in DM more defensively capable.
We don't have the big man up top but we do need another option about us. We have nine games in December, too, so need to be able to start rotating well.
Of course, if we get hammered I'll eat my words!

I trust you mean last saturday and not this coming one.I get that Madine will need to be rested at points, but why not do that on Saturday instead of today. I just hope Yates isn't isolated again and we take a step back.
According to Critchley, no injuries. So your guess is as good as anyone’s.I've been one of Ward's harshest critics but he has definitely been improving of late, dropping him entirely seems a little harsh. Surely it must be injury related.
Yes last Saturday, should have made that clearerI trust you mean last saturday and not this coming one.
We dont need a keeper, they're overratedIf we change to 443, then we might win with the extra man!!
How will he get more games if not even on the bench?Agree , think he needs more games , watch his hamstring
The complete absence of Ward and Garbutt suggests they can't have been right - maybe last minute assessments today.According to Critchley, no injuries. So your guess is as good as anyone’s.
Critchs master stroke mate.If we change to 443, then we might win with the extra man!!
Don't think we do, i know what you mean if we are winning a lot then the odd draw fine, but in the past a lot of draws have killed us.Going to be a tough game this one. After last Tuesdays 2nd half meltdown it appears we either win or lose games so we need to start turning all these narrow defeats into draws if that makes sense.
I’d be happy with a draw and impressed with a win tonight.
