I was sure he was one of old managers in the Neil Warnock mould. Couldn't believe he was quite young

Liking Lundstam and Page so far.

Great driving run from Page again, fortunate with the pass but great turn and drive. Defences aren't great

So easy. Thomas needs to be seeing that danger out and blocking any shot.

Nice bit of play there but Braybrooke nit aware. He's struggling to get involved.

A good 10 minutes and importantly got ourselves in front. Watching behind my fingers when we are playing it around the back but so far done it well. Stockport haven't been as aggressive as they should be though. Nice to see some decent link up play from Riis so far. Great finish from Cullen, better when instinctive.

I get the feeling Broad has a bit of a grudge against Robinson. Just listening to him talk about Robinson and its always 'yeah he's done well but....' I don't disagree with him though in regards to the future if these pitches and trends continue.

Interesting if it does end up with Alves at wing back and Thomas left centre back. Would then mean 2 up top. Otherwise it's Cullen out wide which doesn't sound great.

Probably jinx him but like the look of Cox, seems calm and with a solid technique. Wouldn't be surprised to see him open.

I'm no technical coach but Gay is so far across his stumps he looks made for the lbw to around the wicket.

He probably can't leave that one but Duckett fails again. We will see the return of flat pitches over the next few years to stop these medium pacers causing so much trouble

If O'Hora and Lundrstam can bring the calmness and leadership we need then it will make a big difference to us. Probably more likely that Lundstram goes off injured first half. Wouldn't be surprised to see one of Braybrooke or Page dropped to the bench. Neither of them are 10s, but the other options at that position are shite.

Does anyone watch this and think how shit it is And then remember that not only are we in this league, we are ****ing shit in it.

Feel a little bit bad but I don't care what Vardy is up to and who he is playing for. Although I am glad he hasn't gone sheff we'd.

Lundstram better be good, only hope we have. As talented as Braybrooke and Page are, they can't control a midfield. Even more so with the style of play this dickhead wants us to play.

And to think we had a few days of some positivity

Vast majority of people in pre match thread were happy to keep it the same because we'd kept clean sheets

Watching SSN in a pub, I'm assuming we are playing without a goal keeper?

And people wanted our defence to remain unchanged

If O'Hora is fit, I'd be amazed if he didn't start. Thomas has done a steady job but he's not a centre back, kept a clean sheet but it was hardly secure was it. My bigger concern is McFarlane missing out for Thomas. I wouldn't be surprised to see Reid start again, especially whilst Chaplin is out. Bristric porbably gets one final start before Riis takes over. McCarthy Joseph Souttar O'Hora McFarlane Page Braybrooke Burns Reid Alves Bristric Razzioli, Aluko, Thomas, Lundstram, Howell, Watson, Riis Meaning Doyle, Kanga and Cullen miss out on this occasion. I think Martin likes the 2 wing options on the bench to freshen it up.

Didn't find the queues too bad at Portaventura, 50 mins max but we didn't bother big rides generally as we have young kids. Managed to get on Dragon Khan a couple of times as single rider though, literally straight on. Ferrari land was ridiculous though, only opens 5 and hour plus on the big rides.

Back from 10 days in Salou. It's an easy one for us as we've been lots of times over the years but first visit for a few years and it's definitely going downhill a little bit. All the businesses appeared to have been taken over by foreigners, fake football shirt market is massive However, still enjoyed it with young kids, always enjoy Portaventura trips.

Seems to be a bit of rotation with the wide players so wouldn't be surprised if they swap around, although it would be nice to see Alves get a run of starts and build on last night. Don't know where O'Hora and Lundstram are with fitness, but I reckon O'Hora comes straight in. I'd give Bristric another start, and introduce Riis second half. Going to be interesting how we manage 7 subs now, because there is going to be a few missing out.

I hope Page understands and backs himself to progress his career because it must be hard to know Man Utd have come in for you and it not happen. But he seems to have a good attitude and mind-set.

Imagine Souttar plays alongside O'Hora until Jan and see how Kangasniemi gets on in the EFL trophy games and ease him in to replace. Lundstrum, Page and Braybrooke as midfield 3, my worry would be lack of goals, something Page and Braybrooke will need to add to their games. Plenty of rotation options in forward positions, jury out is on their quality in some cases.
