Howell holding? 

How much holding do you think we’ll need at home to Burton? 🥴

Enough to probably not play him in a position that he's never played in, in youth or senior football.

😂. He received the ball mainly  deep at the wekeend and looked more accomplished at it than the player who will most likely be selected to play there at the weekend. 🥴

With the amount we turn the ball over, loads!

May aswell stick Sammy Braybrooke and Louis Page in centre back whilst we're at it then

That’s why I’d personally be curious to see how he did - because we can’t turn the ball over much more than we already do  …… and it’s often because of the inability of Skipp to retain it. 

[FoxesWalk]

It’s going to be Thomas, Souttar, Skipp, Bobby Reid, and Cullen starting again

Man of my own heart - Luke Thomas not even on the bench - I already trust you more than Russel

Surely to god, not a start for BRCR !

 

How can it be justified? He's fluffed his chances when they have come. 
 

In Bristric, we now have an actual number 9, who after another full week of training, should be integrated enough to start.

 

At the very worst, BDCR could drop to the 10 position, assuming Chaplin won't start, or be fit enough to do so.

McFarlane(realistically Thomas)

 

Skipp

Howell

They will most likely sit in deep so feel like Howell and Alves give us the technical ability/creativity, Burns and Watson later on if we get ahead to get in behind and support the full backs

[Corky]

Is it looking like a 30k+ crowd? Last season was grim with many virtually empty blocks. A close to full ground would be a boost.

[GrobyLCFC31]

These are absolutely on the floor 

No excuses!
Need to kickstart our season a win and convincing performance to go with it!

Looking at the tickets left a available on the website, should be well over 30k there

We know how this plays out 85% possession, 33 shots at goal and Burton have one shot and nick it 1-0 😂

a Martin team would never have 33 shots let's be real.

[ozvaldo]

Must win. 
 

So we’ll draw 0-0.

McCarthy and Thomas need to out of the squad full stop 

[kingfox]

Should have enough to beat them, their squad is looking very thin.

 

But if the spine of our team looks like this on Saturday…

 

Okoli - Souttar

Skipp

BDCR

 

Then I can very much see this ending up as another frustrating draw.

Football's just a racket for senior players to shift the blame for their poor performances onto younger players.

 

17 year old Krubally was Burton's best player in their last game, who is most likely who is being referenced by this. This attitude just sickens me.

 

Similar to Begovic talking about our relegation on that podcast, first thing he mentions is "young squad". No accountability or shame from these entitled experienced players.
