That bloody bench 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Nice to have a bit of stability in the starting XI even if I disagree with some of it. That bench however...

That bloody bench 

Small statured, technically okay, physically weak Midfielders/Wingers/Second Strikers FC

Full of cheat codes in this league 😳🤩

[Dan]

With only 7 subs you really need variety and we have the most samey bench ever.

[Muzzy_no7]

Continuing to leave out Bristric for The Throb is just plain stupid.

[tinpot_fox]

Page, Alfs, Braybrooke, Doyle, Thomas, nice youthful line up

 

A bench that not many on FoxesTalk would have faith in to make an impact if we are losing

[whoareyaaa]

Lundstram back in and Braybrooke can't grumble at that tbf apart from Okoli/Kanga

[Cropwellfox]

And today we start slow and he waffles on about most of the players having 3 games a week and energy missing etc etc etc

That is a dads army bench. 
 

im guessing all our attacks will be started by Stevie Wonder again. 

[fazzyfox]

Would prefer Kanga to Okoli, Howell to Burns, Bristric to BDCR  and Filbert to Thomas but other than that a sensible balanced line up. WTF is going on .

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Take Kangasniemi off that bench and the average height of it is 3ft2"

[Vowels]

Usually when I slag players off they fairly swiftly make me look stupid.

 

Wes Burns is finished and has been terrible for us. Hopefully this does the job.

[SafewayFox]

I’ve been harsh on Cullen, still feel he was an inappropriate signing based on our needs/finances BUT he’s proven more of a game changer than Burns/Reid.

 

Heinous bench again!!

[honeybradger]

I feel bad for Howell.

 

Had a good game against Plymouth yet hasnt started since and now doesn't even make the bench.

Yeah Brighton will want him getting game time, can see him being shipped back there in Jan 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

12 players signed on permanent deals this summer and there's more on the bench (6) than in the first eleven (4).

 

What strategic alignment and standard driving that is by the way

[tinpot_fox]

I’ve strained my finger and I’m about to drive to Hull, my only consolation is that I can’t listen to this on the radio

 

just kidding

 

c’mon the citeh!!

 

keep up a win two, lose one ratio and we’ll be fine until the play offs ha ha

Why would Braybrooke grumble? 

[Vowels]

Are we on the cusp of the start of the Okoli redemption arc?

This is what we get for accepting a world without punctuation.
