First time I recall being disappointed with Bailey not starting.

Bailey destroyed them, he should be starting. Still I think they have made a handful of changes too. We will see, I suppose.

Not quite sure what his thinking is with that selection. Only 1 other game before a huge break and would have thought he’d have gone full strength. Was going to stick a tenner on for us to win but don’t think I’ll bother now.

I don't think we can judge the line up until we see how they play under this manager. Under Gerrard this would be a disaster. I'm going to play the wait and see game.

What is the point of playing Olsen in this? He doesn’t exactly need to be match fit

That midfield is lacking width.

It's ok. We have the advantage of playing against Maguire

That’s a very disappointing team considering we’ve one game left for two months.  Ah well always next year.

Way too weak at the back, leaving out our senior World Cup players and Mings. 7,500 have travelled up, it's Man Ure and it's only one of 2 cups we can win this season. Very disappointing especially as Yanited have gone with a strong team.

Disappointed with that line up. We’ll be lucky to keep them out but it depends how he’s set them up. Like has been said, can’t see the point of an under strength side with such a lengthy break coming up.

He will use this to learn who his players are when it matters. If he can make that team compete tonight, then he is very very good

I guess he wants to see the whole squad in a competitive environment before the break, but it looks very experimental and not that progressive. Why not, for example, play Archer if you want to be experimental?
