At least this is a much more positive line up.
Hopefully the two youngest lads can step up.

RDZ prefers Goodnight at #10. I expect Adingra on the right and JP on the left (I could be wrong).

I'm not saying they weren't. Of course course our European group stage campaign was excellent. However it came at a price, constant rotation leading up to the games and then the tired lacklustre performances in the league and injuries.
Good for RDZ playing the kids. Give them some experience with the pressure off. We might look a bit more energetic too.

Let's be realistic about O'Mahoney and Offiah today please.
They're in the team precisely because there isn't much to play for this season. In other words, they're playing because we have the metaphorical space to allow developing players to make mistakes and learn from them. RDZ and the coaching team will watch them today and use what they learn to turn them into better players.
Of course we're all hoping to see a proper Roy of the Rovers match-dominating game from them, but let's remember to give them the space to make mistakes.

I'm not saying it wasn't a great experience. It was. Memories to last forever. I'm trying to say that the reality of playing in it has caught up with us. Outside of the Europa League, this hasn't been an as enjoyable season compared to last year.

Bugger that. Connolly and Ferguson both scored on their full premier league debuts. O'Mahoney ticks all the boxes for a sensational start to his career. Teenager? Yep. Irish? Yep. Scores for fun in the reserves/U 21s? Yep.
I will be FUMING if O'Mahoney doesn't get at least one goal. Scratch that he should get at least a hat trick. It's only bournmeouth after all....*

Can't help but think there should be a UK-based 'Broadcaster Of Last Resort' that could (horrible word) monetise those games that UK-based broadcasters don't want to pick up on for whatever reason. Game's being broadcast elsewhere in the world, why not here? What gives?

Not a bad start - thankfully a team on the same level as us at last
I really like Barco. There's definitely something special about him, and it's not just the Gucci tracksuit.

I always find it frustrating that I pay so much to Sky/TNT etc and still can’t watch all the games. Feels like a ripoff

Oof. Dunk takes a driven ball straight his gentleman's parts.

Some loose passing but we're showing more ambition so far.
Offiah had a couple of chances to go on a run forward so far, looks a little nervous to commit to them - understandable on his debut.

What a difference it makes to have Gilmour back controlling the tempo in midfield - a great help that will be to Barco too ( glad to see he’s kept his starting place).
Worry though about the amount of injuries we are continuing to sustain so not a bad idea throwing a load of youngsters in now until the end of the season. - nothing to lose now but lots of experience to gain.
