Pukki Blinders 96 Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Love the look of that team 😍 A win would obviously be fantastic, but I would certainly not be unhappy with a point. 10 points from Blackburn, Reading, Cardiff and Watford is a superb return. If we can get all 3 point though what a result it will be. Edited December 26, 2020 by Pukki Blinders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 518 Posted December 26, 2020 Yeah. Good selection, dowell as a 10 looks interesting. If not, great bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pukki Blinders 96 Posted December 26, 2020 To think we've still got Hernandez, Placheta, Stiepermann, Idah, Mumba and Byram to come back into the squad is terrifying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 6,023 Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Splendid bench. Shows we're getting our players back. Stiepermann's needed a breather so good to see him out, especially if he has had labyrinthitis. Hope Dowell's got 90 minutes in the tank. I really do not want to see Vrancic in the hole. If he comes on for Dowell, push him 20 yards back and bring the two wide men in a bit. In fact, I'd rather see Rupp come on, and push McLean up instead.

Bill 1,788 Posted December 26, 2020 Just now, lappinitup said: Strong line-up.... And the bench gets stronger by the day. be good to see Rupp and Gibson get some time on the pitch barring some wind induced mistake, I cannot see us losing this s Cantwell, Buendia and McLean all have the ability to crak on in from outside the box hopefully it won't be too many, otherwise Watford might well be sacking the Disco fellow before he has had a chance to try out the managers chair 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted December 26, 2020 That's the front 4 I've been waiting to see. It'd be great to get a full game out of Dowell, but understandable if we don't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 320 Posted December 26, 2020 Don't want to see Rupp or Gibson this evening. Or Quintella just coming back from a lengthy injury. If we see these things will not be going well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
