*taps nose*

 

[Kosmonaut]

Any stream?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Stockdale, Bruno, Greer, Hughes, Bennett; Holla, Ince; Calderon, Teixeira, Baldock; O'Grady.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Subs: Walton, Rea, Chicksen, McCourt, March, Colunga, Best

 

[RM-Taylor]

Looks a poor team and an even poorer bench.

Why not start Best, instead starting a player who doesn't want to be here, has a deal agreed in principal elsewhere, and we signed a replacement for him yesterday. Baffles me.

 

[AZ Gull]

Surely Calderon will be at RB with Bruno in midfield?

 

[Seagulls1984]

So what happens if o'grady scores a hat- trick

[Stuart Munday]

Strange lineup?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

[glasfryn]

Strange lineup?

Mick's probably perplexed as well

Big Chris O'Grady​

 

[Dick Head]

Strange lineup?

Houewstone out!

 

[jackanada]

I shall have a tactical punt and say Calderon will operate as a right sided defensive midfielder, giving licence to Bruno to go mentally far up the field pretending to be a winger and for ince to do a few more 'giant Micky small' impressions careering up the pitch without ever quite appearing in control of the ball.

 

[severnside gull]

Interesting that the club indicated Bruno playing at right back with Calde giving width in midfield.......that will be a first if true.

Looks like Best must've turned up after all & maybe setting the starting XI with Sunday in mind

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Is this 4-3-3 with three 'holding' midfielders, or 4-4-2 with Calde and Tex playing wide?
