Good job we brought the lads from Leeds in, otherwise we'd have had 1 outfield player on the bench!

Can't understand why White is on the bench unless he's also carrying an injury. IMO, he's been one of the best players in every match.

Guess so, unless Taylor is dropping to centre back.

That's how they're warming up, with Taylor, Grayson, Jones and Arthur together.

5-3-2, I reckon.

probably resting him plus think Cooper's going to play Taylor in front of back 4, and he therefore has to either drop Banks or white to fit gotts in ,so bit of a conundrum really!, in Mark we trust Russell!

I hope you're wrong last time Taylor played centre half in the national league he had a nightmare!

White’s took a few knocks of late, rest them whilst you can, marathon not a sprint :scarf: :scarf:
First iFollow of the season, here’s hoping 🤞
