The Swan and Cemetery Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 If 5-3-2 I quite like it. Reasonable for Bentley to be dropped given recent form, albeit not convinced O’Leary is standard, but fair to have a chance. Agree Vyner a worry, but Atkinson doesn’t seem right post injury and assume Cundy either not ready or not showing up well enough in training. Experience in midfield, decent width, pace up front and Scott for some flair. Other than Williams, not many I’d bring in ahead of this team. We’ll probably get spanked by seven, hey ho.

The Journalist Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I do hope the goalkeeper change has been properly thought through - if Max is in tonight he needs to stay in for at least half a dozen games, otherwise you end up in a situation where neither keeper feels trusted or confident.
