No you have to start with Romeu and then take him off after his yellow card 😉

His strike rate of converting yellow to red or xRC is ridiculously low.

Yeah, I think I'm right in saying he never collected two yellows in one match during his time with us.

Their stand out player looks to be Femi Azeez so we'll need to keep an eye on him.

Who will replce Scienza, we don't have a like gor like so guess a change of plan, more defence and counter.

How did DD get injured?

Scienza a doubt which is a shame. 

Let's hope he turns up!!

I would bring Bragg in for Downes as he was outstanding last Saturday 😊 and bring Romeu on in the second half 😊 If Downs is injured and not available, I would like to see Oyekunle on the bench 😊

I didn't realise they had their own beach, I'm going to take my swimming stuff and make the most of my day trip. 

Don't forget the sun cream

He is, just back from injury, came on and scored the winner on Wednesday against Wednesday

Of course it is, maybe that is why 😉

Seriously I think you take comments a bit too seriously sometimes.  xRC 🤣

This will be an interesting test for Eckert if Leo cannot play tomorrow. You'd expect that at some stage of the season we will be without one or more of Leo, Azaz and Fellows due to injury (or illness), especially when you see the sort of treatment Leo, in particular, is getting from opposition defenders. 

All managers have to deal with injury problems - Alex Neill at Millwall being a prime example. It will be fascinating to see how (or if) Tonda adapts the style of play if he is forced into replacing Leo as well as Downes tomorrow. We do have a big squad so he does have options open to him - let's see how he deals with it!

Robinson is the obvious substitute, and pretty effective to. However it's an intense position to play in. Frazer will probably act as back up.

Of course Dibling would have been perfect, but he is of course busy ..... sitting on the bench.

Correct. He does have the record number of yellow cards, a record which surprisingly he took from MLT.

Leo has brought direct running and rapid ball-carrying, so if he's out and we plan on playing similarly to how we have been, the obvious replacement is Robinson or Fraser. I realise that everyone probably knew this already.

Wildcard: Mas-ski San.

Has he even been on the bench since Tonda took over ?

Think he hurt himself leaping for that header to keep the ball in play vs Leicester.

Possibly sprained neck or back due to that tree he seems to be growing on his head.
