That game finished 1-1 too

yep and their goal was handball

 

[Rugrat]

Delighted to see Walton in goal. I wouldn't have Best on the bench to be honest and hope we bring the youngster on at some stage

Can't see the point of Best or CMS

True - but as we all know if he was needed CMS would give everything on his last game for us.

Midfield diamond? 4 central midfielders is not ideal. Any danger LuaLua might contribute something? Last chance saloon for him today.

'Resting' Stockers and starting LuLu. Not good in my opinion. Just my view.

Player just came on - something to do with hats it would seem

 

[Juror#13]

Seagull player is talking about the royal baby and Middlesbrough player is talking football

What the **** is that?

If he's seriously thinking of playing Halford at full back against Adomah, god save us.

If it's three at the back again, then who on earth is the right wing back? Lualua??

Ah got it now.

No other option than LuaLua though - last week's creativity is sitting on their bench this week. Should mean Tilley will come on later which is great if he does. Walton playing is ok, see how he gets on. With rumours we are looking at another goalie, maybe Stockers on his way, but I doubt it.

He played Halford at full back away at Reading - if he didn't learn that day never to do it again then he is not the manager to take us forward! Must be a back 3 away

 

[One hot tub one ambition]

Bizarre formation, but nevertheless, it's nice to see Walton starting and Tilley on the bench.

Does send out an odd message regarding Stockdale. To 'rest' for the last game will not do his confidence any good and possibly indicates that CH may well be considering change or would leave be for one, last game. It's a nothing game anyhow, so will find out little on that front.

Agree about Tilley, be great to see him get a run out.

 

[The Wizard]

Looks like 3 at the back again to me, who cares we have nowt to lose anyway as long as we don't get crushed

I've heard worse ideas. Odubaje has made a decent job of converting at Brentford........

Don't see it happening though

Stephens?

C'est la vie.

What a waste for people who went!

?? . Standard practice to rotate goalkeepers especially in an end of season match that has no consequence for either team.
Good to give Walton some game time given he's our #2. DS on the bench anyway.
