That’s probably the strongest team we can put out without CJ. Kaikai, Anderson, Sarkic, Woodburn, Lubala haven’t exactly set the world on fire. Anderson probably the most likely to do something. Williams may get in perhaps as he’s not done much wrong.

Not sure we have won any league game comfortably, but on the other hand apart from Ipswich no one has mullered us

It's about time we bagged a few without reply. I dont think once this season we have gone 3-0 up. We have gone 2-0 up 3 or so times and lost 2 of them.

I want to see lots of shots lets have some quality and some luck, deflected goals, own goals... surely were due some...... 😀

That would be my guess with Anderson & Kemp as the wide players but who knows with Critch.

I hope you're right.
It could be Anderson in midfield and Kemp on the right of the front 3 though.
Tbh as long as Yates gets right up alongside Madine and the ball is played in quicker to them I don't care what anyone claims it is, the lack of link up play across the front is what is causing us to struggle to score goals, not the way we supposedly set up in a base formation.
 
I'm very happy with that team. With that defence it will be a clean sheet.

Anderson and Kemp are attack-minded, and with Yorke and Cole upfront I reckon we'l score three.

Absolutely bizarre. He was immense in the last few games when we were on a winning run. It’s not good enough for Matt Scranton to say Critchley says he’s not injured, follow it up with if that’s the case why isn’t he even on the bench?

Wouldn’t agree with Anderson. He’s got 2 important goals for us this season, the winner against Pompey and Hull to put up 2-1 up

Yes you’re probably right I was being harsh on Anderson, but I did say he was the most likely one to do something, anyway he’s got his chance. Let’s hope this lineup tick & all our doubts are unfounded.
 
Happy with that line up. Looks like the main two up front and subbed the work shy Kai Kai.
If it’s 4-4-2 I fancy we can win this 0-2
 
Hope for a win but I fear the front 2 won't see the ball much. Hope I'm wrong, just can't see Anderson and Kemp working team wise.
 
I don’t recognise any of the Bristol players?
I’m sure there was a time when you knew the opposition teams players and who were really dangerous?

I would like to see a lot more actual journalism from Matt...think he is good in some areas but actually garnering information is a weakness. How about a daily interview with each of the players giving us information about them and what their aspirations are. I would like to ask each of the players what their preferred positions are because at the moment I wouldnt have a scooby where Sarkic, Kai Kai, Anderson, Yates, Kemp, Ward, Robson, Garbutt and Mitchell would actually like to play and where they consider themselves best
 
Let's hope we start off on the front foot, take some chances and shoot early!

Looking forward to this commentary!
 
Just heard the Bristol radio presenter say that Gary Johnson (Torquay Manager) will be weary of a response from Yeovil. I think he was meant to read, wary. Sounds like a clever lad...

What’s happened to The Viking?





Matt Scrafton

@matt_scrafton
If that’s the case what a kick in the teeth for the lad who’s been superb. What has he done that warrants being dropped from the team let alone the squad. Pathetic
Replying to
@southshoresteve
Nothing. Asked Critchley after Shrewsbury and he said he prefers to name players on the bench who can play more than one position. Husband can fill in at CB if needed.
