Be interesting to see where Robertson plays tonight, been described as a "number 8" but looks like he may be in that 10 slot unless there's a change of shape? Turnbull could be playing there of course

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

Well, now.

Alnwick - Kpakio, McGuinness, Bagan, Giles - Rinhomota, Robertson, Turnbull - Conte, Colwill, Kanga

Subs: Turner, Lawlor, Gbadehan, MFW, King, Tanner, Evans, Reindorf

[Hilts]

I would have preferred King instead of Rino otherwise happy with that on the basis that Ashford must be injured if not even on the bench.

[bluebirds17]

Why is Rinomhota starting ahead of King?

I can only assume it's due to fitness but it's honestly frustrating. Rinomhota isn't good enough for us and should be moved on.

Other than that happy with the side.

[Loramski]

Well, now.

Alnwick - Kpakio, McGuinness, Bagan, Giles - Rinhomota, Robertson, Turnbull - Conte, Colwill, Kanga

Subs: Turner, Lawlor, Gbadehan, MFW, King, Tanner, Evans, Reindorf

I'm assuming Kanga won't play the 90 minutes so Reindorf should get a run-out, that'll be interesting.

[PontBlue]

I agree that King should be in ahead of Rinomhota otherwise I'm looking forward to watch this City team play which I haven't been able to say about the first team for ages.

[Rjk]

would prefer to see Colwill at 10 rather than the wing

[az city]

Anyone got an assessment of the strength of the Rovers team?

David Turnbull injured in the warm up, Eli King in according to Glen Williams

[BlueArmy 86]

Yeah king got turnbull

Let’s see how Robertson and kanga get on

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

David Turnbull injured in the warm up, Eli King in according to Glen Williams

Bulut making a defensive change before we've even kicked off.

[Rjk]

so who's playing where?

Looks like Robertson in the 10 with King & Rinomhota behind him

[PontBlue]

Hopefully kanga isn't seriously hurt

[life on mars]

Phew raining stopped.

We have better pace about us tonight.

Few more willing runners .

The apps are showing 26 minutes played on not one attack on goal! Really?

[fugsyphil]

What are they actually trying to achieve tactically so far this season

[Sparticus_Mills]

What is plan exactly? We just seem to pass it around and hope for the best, there never seems to be a style or system in place with Bulut

[life on mars]

What are they actually trying to achieve tactically so far this season

Pass it to open up the field .

[ToTaL ITK]

There is no plan there hasn't been one for the last decade

[PontBlue]

I'd bring on Evans for rinomhota at half time. Drop Robertson back alongside king and move colwill into the 10
