If it’s 3 at the back, it needs to be: McCarthy O’Hora Souttar Kanga Joseph Lundstram Page McFarlane Howell Alves Riis Harsh on Braybrooke, but I’d sooner leave him out than Page, and think Howell and Alves could do more damage deployed as 10s or inside wingers than Page would if he was there.

Thanks guys. Hoping it’s just a case of an extra day or two for them to arrive down here.

Anyone still waiting on the tickets for this?

Yeah, I think there needs to be a degree of ramping him up. He looked shot after about 65 mins the other night. Shouldn’t be pushing him too much too soon. I do get the argument for repeatedly starting him, but I fear I know how that ends currently.

Him and Watson will rotate a lot this season I expect. I think we’ll see Watson start tomorrow, with Will to come on and cause carnage like he did at MK (should have been given longer to do so). Need to be sensible with him.

Souttar, Kanga, the lad from Hibs and Thomas/Aluko to step in if required actually sounds alright. Just hope Okoli and Faes leave.

I like him.

Played relatively well and will benefit from having actual CBs on the pitch who can pass the ball when they have been signed. Aluko has shown his ability to play there to a good standard tonight though. Howell looks a player, Page was excellent last 5 mins aside. Braybrooke tidy. I was very wrong to defend the Cullen signing. He’s shite.

I went to the Cheltenham game. Otchere had a really poor game and the fans cheered when he was finally taken off. Felt for him - looked gutted at full time. Evans was a real threat and arguably the best player on the pitch. He was taking up lots of good positions but his teammates weren’t getting the ball to him. Really tenacious in his pressing and put a shift in defensively.

Potentially unpopular opinion but I like the fact we’re getting money in for the likes of Opoku, Cartwright and Wilson-Brown. Don’t think any of those were going to make it here, so even £500,000 combined (will likely be more) is good business.

Only Reid can be overly criticised from that with what we have in my opinion. Would’ve liked to see the new lad at LB but can understand he's had a knock. No Faes or Mavididi is great. No Page less so. Feel like the squad is still going to change a lot before the end of the window.

Rather he goes there and plays every week than stays here for an odd cup start and 20 mins off the bench in the league.

We’ll always have the first 60 mins of the Bristol Rovers friendly. Go well, legend.

Another excellent signing for the level. Hopefully at most a 2 year contact and nominal fee.

Cheltenham are a great club, with a really supportive fan base. Went to Uni there so go to watch them semi often with mates there, looking forward to seeing his progress. Think it’ll be great for him.
