Owly Mowly

Imagine what 4 or 6 points would do for us! 11-13 after 5 tough games would be amazing. It’s possible - if it happens then we will have a great foundation for leading from the front all season

The 5 subs rule is going to be great for us this season. We will be able to bring fresh legs into midfield in every game and quality at that too.

I thought at MK and yesterday we looked like holding on comfortably. That’s a new experience for us watching!

I think today will be low scoring with the heat - I’m hoping a steady 2-0 win

I’d play (what I think it will be in brackets) Stockdale Ikky Big ben Palms Hunt Bannan Byers (Vaulks) FDB Johnson Windass Gregory

Adeniran has to be MOM but Liam Palmer is definitely getting better with age. He plays well whatever position he plays

He’s choice 6 from the 6 we have

Been impressed with our starts in both games but the high press and intensity and lasts for 10 minutes - then we drop off. It’s encouraging then frustrating

When will tickets go on sale?

Liam Palmer is absolutely fantastic for us. Never let’s us down wherever he plays - he is such a valuable asset

Byers has to be a starter! He wins so many tackles and has a knack for getting a foot in without committing himself fully. I agree about the changes being bang right but should have been 10 mins earlier - it was obvious we needed to get fresh legs to get closer to them

Credit again to Liam Palmer - did a great job at LCB again

We started really aggressive and created some good chances. After 10 mins we took the foot of the gas and MK came into it. Nice bit of quality won the penalty and great work by Fiz should have made it 2. Second half - it was obvious we needed more legs in midfield as we were giving them so much space to play their nice football and Stockdale came to the rescue. Byers and Bakinson coming on and Fiz moving forward changed the game and the last 20 were comfortable. Fiz was an absolute beast in that last 20. Byers has to start - he makes so many winning tackles and is great with the ball

Stockdale: 5 Iorfa: 5 Heneghan: 6 Ihiekwe: 6 Hunt: 6 Johnson: 7 Byers: 7 Dele-Bashiru: 8 Bannan: 7 Windass: 6 Gregory: 6 Smith: 6.0

At the game I thought Stockdale was at fault, but watching the goals back I think it was more defensive errors. All 3 goals free headers - unforgivable
