    I assume McGuiness was suspended on Saturday, I think he’ll be one of the first names on the sheet this term.
    I lile you, you are a good poster but there is a matchday thread.

    Who would you drop in order to start Ralls?

    Ralls looked way off the pace when he came on against Norwich.

    I didn’t say I would….but he is our captain….and Morrison obviously likes him,

    I think McGuiness will be an improvement on the suspended Ng. I'm not so sure Ralls should start considering how effective last week's midfield combination proved to be. I'm hoping Etete plays some part today but I'm guessing it might be from the bench.

    We agree yep I liked last weeks team and would only change due to the suspension.

    I don’t see a place for Ralls if I’m honest, although a big fan of his generally I feel he might have been one to have let go.

    He said the Villa lad had to train a few weeks with the team to know how we play so I’m assuming it’s the same sign Etete.

    Nelson must be favourite to take over from Ng with McGuinness taking his place on the bench and do any of last week’s midfield deserve to be dropped for Ralls to come in? Wouldn’t be surprised to see Harris start instead of Watters mind. Presumably, Philogene and Etete will come into the squad, so it may be Whyte and Tanner, or possibly Sang, to drop out.

    Maybe Watters last chance, I think he will be alright and will score today, knowing that Etete is ready to take over.

    You were putting forward a suggestion that Ralls might start. Ralls didn't start against Norwich, therefore, for him to be be in the starting eleven would require one of the midfield players, who did start in our first match, dropping to the bench.
    So, who do you think would be the unfortunate midfielder to have to make way for Ralls? (I feel I'm repeating myself here )

    Ralls looked way off the pace when he came on last week when you'd have thought fresh legs time to shine.
    Very much doubt he'll start unless somebody has picked up an injury.

    Etete off the bench would seem a good ploy IMHO.
    If things aren't going our way and a different approach needed, I'm sure he would relish the chance to shine.
    Similarly if we are winning, give him some minutes.

    McGuinness seems the best option.

    It was just an observation….I hardly know all our players names yet….never mind if they’re any good or not ! I’ll leave it to the manager, he sees them every day

    Would consider Ng as a better full-back personally, certainly don't think he's right at centre-back so I have no clue what Morison is thinking, does he have no faith in the others available?

    Denham over McGuinness on the bench.

    Tanner and Whyte the two to miss out as Philogene and Etete make the bench.

    Expected O'Dowda in over Sang, a little surprised with that one.

    I keep mis-reading it and confusing myself. Getting old is no fun.

    Yes. O'dowda I thought looked good last week.
    May have a knock who knows.

    Just looked again, just as bad as you!

    I'm so confused. Why are people saying O'Dowda's not playing when he's clearly on the team sheet?

    I just kept re-reading what a couple of posters said about O'Dowda/Sang and I must have stared at the team sheet a number of times.
