What striker did he buy to play as the ‘1’ though? I’m not saying Still isn’t at fault, he’s been incredibly average for sure, but it was clear the way he wants to play involves having a physical (and capable) striker and he’s been given Damion fcking Downs and a cripple.

I don’t like the 3/5 at the back, but we looked even worse with a 4.

Maybe Fellows is being rested, plus intrigued to see what Scienza can do from the start in the Championship. Not surprised to see Azaz out, he’s been mediocre since he joined. Expecting a low key, low scoring game. They’re average but don’t concede many.

Not sure there can be too many complaints from folk about that team, fair play to Still. Baz, THB, Stephens all dropped as people have been clamouring for. Downes possibly hard done by after Liverpool but he’s been shite this season. Down to the players now then to put in an appropriate performance

Did you miss Newcastle away last season?

I wouldn’t start either as well if I was in charge, but the fact is Stephens is captain and he is going to play most weeks. THB has been by far our worst CB this season. I think it’s negligible with the GK’s either way - Bazunu does some things better, McCarthy does others. They’re both shite and it’s embarrassing that they’re our GK options.

THB has been much worse than Stephens. Neither of our Goalkeepers are any good.

Cynic in me wonders if he’s playing down the performance so the usual suspects can all come back in on Saturday.

Wood has been our best defender this season by far (not a high bar tbf), he deserves to play. Stephens will no doubt be back but I’d love to see Quarshie back in instead of THB.

Let’s hope McCarthy puts in a very good display tomorrow, so he can keep his spot from there.

I think you’ll find that Maggie the Tea lady is ultimately the tactical genius.

No I don’t think that. If you read what I posted, you’d see that I’ve said I think the job appears too big for him. The point I’m making is I don’t think appointing another manager miraculously fixes everything and makes us promotion candidates. The club is rotten to the core.

I don’t think it’s that simple with the state we’re in as a club at the moment.

He also wouldn’t have his assistant manager with him (current Sheff Weds manager) who according to some of their fans was the brains behind the operation.
