Wells and Massengo in for Martin and Williams

A very lightweight midfield that's for sure but glad Martin is being rested 

Very lightweight indeed.

Are you using a VPN? If so then try without it as there's no need to engage that tonight. It's working fine for me via browser with no VPN.

That works, thanks!

Getting in the positivity early.

One that's probably going to lose us the game when Massengo plays the midfield is always lost and that iinvariably means the game is ultimately lost,but it seems no other options are available so let's hope tonight's game is the exception to the rule.

[weepywall]

Both teams to score 8/11, easy money that is !!

Williams cannot play 3 games in a week.

Only pay him 2/3 of his wages….

At his age is to be expected…

This woman in the Robins TV Studio is awful she seems to be very nervous

No worries. Just remember for midweek games you don't need to take a trip. Should save you some air fares as well.

1 recognised midfielder - Massengo Is far to light at this level.

Will need to score at least 2 again to take 3 points - team does look attacking enough.

Why Williams, Pring and Wilson not playing I just don’t get.

Scott looks one attacking player to many.

Nige sees them in training so his call but for me 3 better players are sat on the bench and we look open to being hit on the break.

How we set up will be key.

Teams look better to play on the break so will be very imprtant we don’t lose the ball in midfield.

 

Williams not up to playing twice a week. Big game on Sunday coming up and will want him fit. 

[Dan Robin]

Not much confident about tonight's result: I really hope to be proven wrong.

COYR!

I haven’t seen Wilson play yet. Thought he was going to be first choice rb every game. Is there a reason he’s not starting? Just not there yet? 

Injured pre-season...Sykes has come in at RWB and deserves to keep his place....that's the selection policy in the main from Nige.the same that

the same one that went to Preston last season and were brilliant....and should've earned three points bar and injury time equaliser wordy from Riis.

[Gazred]

Scott and Massengo played very well together away at Preston last season against experienced opposite numbers. Hopefully more of that tonight.

 

[Better Red]

‘History’ being the key word.

He is fit now and you can’t keep using that as an excuse now as to why not play him.

If it’s still a problem now - get rid and get someone in who can play 3 in a week.

We can’t afford  passengers with  the size of our squad.

For ref I like him as a player

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

Luton to score from set piece or HNM to concede a penalty from one. Bit of a niche prediction.

[HOZDA]

That's a young, energetic and exciting midfield 4 (including the WBs), with plenty of energy and pace in front. Could really do with a home win today. COYR!

That's not being positive, just reminding people that its how players perform that has a bearing on the result, not OTIB opinion, certainly not before kick-off.  I bet the players would love some of our fans in doing the pre-match team talk.  Jeez....the doom and gloom!!

[Banjo Red]

What's the point of having 2 fit right backs and not use them change the system to a  back four and try something different. 

[Marina's Rolls Royce]

What's the deal with Massengo scapegoatism?

He has it in him to change a game- if he's still genuinely wanting to play for BCFC . He's bigger than his hair but NP is the best judge of whether he's worth a starting place.

True, but I expect Weimann will drop into midfield at times to help out as he did in the League Cup game. Also he'll cover Sykes as he advances. Deeper, more tactical role for Andi in this line up. He's good at it though.

yep when  I heard the line up I thought the same  expect us to defend in 3-5-2 and attack 3-4-3. As long as Weimann stays central he is stil always a threat.

I like both wilson and tanner he won't change the formation.

[Curr Avon]

8 minutes from kick off and the large empty spaces in the stands are giving the appearance of an early round of the Papa John's Trophy.

 

[Lew-T]

Robins TV down, anyone?

‘Try something different’ = We used to when Mr Tombola was in town..

Probably because Sykes has been one our best players this season playing at RWB.
