It is an 8 o’clock kick off right?

Yes

 

[Micky]

No Ward on the bench.

Probably has Covid.

 

[glyn]

Yes

Don’t remember the line up being announced so early on the official feed.

 

[Brown Nose]

I worry about Justin. Both because he's not robust enough physically at the moment and because he's been fecking useless since returning from injury.

Rennes could well exploit him.

Apart from that, fair enough side.

Should be playing Albrighton at RB. Putting Justin back in is a massive risk - for the match and the player

 

[M17TT C]

Albrighton is a terrible RB though.

Being a hard working right midfielder is completly different to being a right back.

Justin is the correct call if he is fit enough which we can only assume he is if he is starting.

Are..

[TommyK]

Odunze?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Odunze?

Very tall goalie. American I think.

 

[homer]

Odunze?

Not right now, thanks, I’ve just eaten

I was with you until the last line. Being in the starting eleven should mean a player is fit. It doesn't for us though.

Having said that, Justin most certainly hasn't been 'useless' at all since returning. He's looked bright and wants to get forward. He's made a couple of daft mistakes and that's to be expected for the first 2 or 3 games but he's been fine. In fact, he was called out for praise from several ex pros and pundits for his last couple of games.

I like Albrighton but he ain't no RB.

Now we're approaching the summer transfer window, Soyuncu has certainly turned a miraculous corner. It'll be interesting to see if Tielemans has such a sudden upturn in form...

 

[Polar Bear]

Rennes look worryingly competent so far, they seem up for it.

 

[homer]

Already struggling down our right….

 

[popillius]

I don't care what his 'preferred position' is, I think Justin is better on the left. He was fantastic when we played him there before his injury and I hope, either Ricardo or Castagne take that spot and we switch Justin to the left at some point.

That seems unfair on Thomas, who, in the circumstances, has been fantastic for us but he's not as strong as Justin has shown he can be on that side.

On a side note, Doku looks excellent. Gerrimin.
