Can someone tell me if we have to watch the match from sunny beaches of Europe, or as it is an International weekend, can we not have to fly away and watch from our UK residences please?
I’d been thinking that we could do with JJ’s presence in the side with Thompson and Scowen injured but I was thinking on the lines of defensive midfield in front of Mawson and Tafazolli. It’ll be a back four, I guess.
Not a good feeling about today. Side lacking in pace across the team. Clearly hit by injuries but haven’t done ourselves any favours with our transfer activity. Needed to bring in another forward. Surely with our fantastic sports and science department as Ainsworth refers to them, they must have had a good idea how long Hanlon was going to be out. Poor management or lack of ambition?
I find 'hit by injuries,' slightly hyperbolic. We've missed key players at key points this season which has cost us, but we've only got one starter out today, and we've managed to put out a team with the likes of Mawson and Sam Vokes in it. We're not that bad off.
It's a bit "Liverpool-esque" this talk about loads of injuries, when the truth is that we're still putting out lineups that are probably 90% of our best strength at any particular time.

I know we had SnoW and ice last time we played in Sheffield but does that owl's eyes have to remind us?
Oh

It’s channel-hopping time, I think @EwanHoosaami .
No need to visit Vipienne today, for the reasons you mention
Apologies. And thank you @eric_plant.
Live scenes in Vipienne
All inside glued to big screens.
JJ starting over Obita, who's on the bench... interesting
Interesting indeed @HolmerBlue.

I haven’t seen the team sheet yet.
No Josh Scowen. Huge miss again.
I struggle to remember a squad with so many key injuries.
Streams up at 2.17 this week. Lovely.
Big Phil reckons McCarthy will be centre mid, and man marking Bannan.
Quite a bit of insight if that pans out true, as can't imagine Gareth would have revealed that?
Absolutely re. Scowen - not optimistic for today at all.
And what the hell did Hanlan do…a couple of weeks back GA was saying everyone bar Thompson was “in contention”…?
Surely Vipienne should be rewarded with a pre-season tour at some point?
Even with the injuries, I wouldn't have Wing anywhere near the 11! He's been dreadful all season.
Blimey that’s not a line-up that fills me with much optimism. Looks desperately short of pace. Come on lads prove me wrong.

Logging on this morning with no expectations or optimis. Hopefully a famous victory to follow.
Or lack of spare squad places, coupled with maximised playing budget much lower than last year due to Championship money dwindling.
We don’t have the resources to be adding lots of high quality Lge1 players on big wages

Was going to post similar.

Those red kits are great aren’t they?
Oh FFS
What?
What in blazes?
38seconds?!
Well we won't be coughing up a lead today! That's one way to make sure
Relying on L2 (at best) standard central midfielders of Wing and Gape is unlikely to end well.
Though the bench options are no better in fairness though just demonstrates the shoddy recruitment job in the summer
A horrible feeling we may hit rock bottom today.
How so?
