Golly.

[Sexual Ealing]

That’s a lot of changes. Not sure at all about it.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Is that the Bree that used to play for us? We should be beating that team comfortably, and I think we will.

Surprised Mings didn't start.

[Dave]

Good to see Southampton's fourth-choice goalkeeper getting another run out.

[devilla]

I know we've got the Leipzig game next but I'd prefer to have seen Mings keep his place. Cash not starting presumably also because of the Leipzig game but again I think he deserves to start.

It'll be interesting to see how Duran does with his start.

[Dave]

Is that the Bree that used to play for us?

Yup

Hmmm I get managing the squad with Tuesday coming up.  But it seems like he’s treating it like we are playing a minnow in a cup tie.

[Deano's Mullet]

I'm suddenly not as confident as I was about half an hour ago

[kippaxvilla2]

Oh and konsa at right back always works.

[Percy McCarthy]

Oh and konsa at right back always works.

Not always, but more often than not. Not a common pick in this type of fixture though, he usually saves it for the toughest defensive games.

As well Leipzig we’ve got Forest next week. Unai was always going to make a number of changes for one of the games. Makes sense that it’s this one.

[manic-road]

Whole back four changed, don't mind seeing Duran up front.

Agreed, strong bench too.
