4-1-3-2 it appears. The best of the formations he's gone with. Let's hope it works.

[Richard]

Liking the formation but not the defence !

[VancouverLion]

Elphick 

[Ian.]

It looks good to me, strong bench too. Come on, we can do this.

[supertom]

Glad to see Jedinak back. How fit he is remains to be seen, but we have missed him big time.

[London Villan]

No Baker??

[john e]

well we cant argue the midfield is lightweight with all those warriors in there

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Elphick 

Oh fuck, I missed that. For once I thought Bruce wouldn't do anything stupid. I overestimated him (again).

[eamonn]

Gardner for Jedinak when he begins to tire and we're defending a goal lead on 74'.

[devilla]

Elphick instead of Baker??

[LukeJames]

No width, 4 midfielders who are jack of all trade, just another episode of Bruce rolling the dice and hoping.

[PeterWithe]

Elphick instead of Baker??

Him and Bjarni must be fantastic in training to get a start after their recent performances.

[Nev]

Still not sure about those 3 in midfield but with Jedinak it may different. It's certainly very hairy which may be a good description for the things at the back with Elphick in. Nailed on to drop a clanger.

Ha ha, me too!
