Weird how opinions go, I thought Smith has been well below par as well. So wasteful on the ball.

I disagree.

Ayling and Williams are rather mobile, I'd rather no have El Abd against Wallace or the Portuguse bloke. Then on top of that their left back is rather pacey, so I'd rather not have an unfit Wagstaff against him.

Burns has looked rather good positioning wise, and Fredericks has looked good in left wing back.

I agree with Cotts on this one.

I'm not slating Burns on it, he could well be decent there, but it is a bit weird you must admit. Agreed on not wanting El-Abd on, but we could easily have shifted formation and put Ayling there.

Either way, Burns has done fine so far.

Bit weird to see Burns come on there as it doesn't have anything to do with our lack of squad depth. RWB is one of the few places where we can shift people about; Little (I know he's injured), Ayling and Waggy could all be playing there if needed. I can only assume it's ready for a formation change later on.

Got a feeling we may be going 4-3-3 now then...

Maybe not then. Standard formation, Fredericks on left, Burns on right.

Please don't start on Kodgia already   . Not much he can do so far, his movement looks good enough to me though.

Bryan's deliveries have been relatively poor when in attacking positions so far. Very wasteful from Smith and Pack in the centre as well.

Not worried, it will come together!

Elliotseems like a model pro to me. Maybe the offence wasn't that bad and the ref has mis-seen it.

He's straight into the lineup presumably then (or on the bench), given that the news will come at 2pm.

In that case I shall pipe down.

Uruguay - yes.

Chile and Costa Rica - no (Chile is two wins apiece, and we've never played Costa Rica before).

The last country is one we've lost two high profile matches against in the relatively recent past.

Croatia? Portugal?

EDIT: Must be Croatia, they only came about in 94ish if I remember rightly?

This just looks immature if this isn't true. Can't believe that someone on our side would hear a rumour before someone on their side personally.

Fair play lads, I take it back.

Really hope Burns can bag a goal. Having a top-youngster come through could be our one ray of sunshine for the end of the season.
