Possibly going with three at the back again tonight . Hard to tell by the lineup - it could be a 4-4-2 with Matthews pushed forward to right midfield either.

It’s probably the latter.

Subs: Zaluska, Wanyama, Miku, McGeouch, Hooper.

I’d guess 3-5-2. 4 natural full backs in the team but we might not play with any conventional full backs. Strong side anyway.

783

Why is Anthony Watt not in the squad? What is Lennon’s problem with the youngster? He’s our best striker.

784

3 at the back alright but Ambrose surprisingly not one of them.

785

Indeed. Must have felt it would be useful to have Mulgrew back there to bring the ball out.

I expect Charlie to keep firing in the crosses from his left centre back overlapping and underlapping role.

787

Lassad marginally off there. We’ve started with a bit of purpose though.

788

Broad Black Brimmer and Sean South very audible. :clap:

789

Oh my what a fucking hit Adam.

790

Ah lovely. What a goal. :clap:

791

Andy Walker is clueless. “He drives forward, there’s nothing on at all so why not have a go…” He had Lassad inside.

792

Another poor touch by Lassad. In fairness he got back to put it out for a corner but he’s mixed some good link up play with a few careless touches.

793

More of the same there.

794

Some great retro singing tonight. Donati just getting sung there.

795

I’ve seen Messi and Ronaldo and Robbie Keane have off days and now I’m afraid I’ve seen Sammy have one.

796

One’s called Ronald, one’s called Frank :lol:

797

One of the best ever.

Lucky enough to get away with that decision but stopped before the goal so not sure they’d have scored without the whistle.

798

This is a bit of a retro Forster performance too. He’s been glued to his line all game - lucky to get away with that “foul” from the corner and there was a scramble from another freekick at the start of the second half when the ball landed on Wilson’s head around 3 yards out.

799

Their roly poly striker is fairly good - he’s giving Wilson quite a few problems. Reminds me of Philly Hughes of Shelbourne.

800

Awful again by Wilson. Wanyama has been terrible since coming on too - misplaced passes all over the place. Need to get a fucking grip here.
