I forgot this was tonight. That’s a stronger starting lineup than I expected.

 

[Miles Away]

It's interesting.

At a guess, Hamza is in the Ricardo role, Doyle slides in centrally and Justin plays the Doyle role.

It's a bit stronger than I'd expected, especially with Winks and Mavididi playing.

2 ****ing keepers again.

 

[Blaarev]

Two keepers on the bench. Should win this then.

I was thinking the same, very surprising.

McAteer gets the Marcal treatment after scoring. Dropped.

I agree that it's a bit too strong for my liking. Some good things such as an opportunity to see Justin in for Vestergaard and whether that works.

Some notable absentees: Iversen, Souttar, Kristiansen, Thomas, Soumare and Daka.

Just noticed the Mcateer thing. I think that's all a bit daft personally.

Mads and..?

 

[M17TT C]

Surprised to see Wilf on the bench with the transfer rumours.

Judging by the previous games are they really?

McAteer was injured so maybe the only treatment he’s getting is not playing two games in three days.

Nope

We don't really know what it is though. He's most likely just being rested. I'm glad he's nowhere near the squad. At the moment, he has to be in our best starting 11.

 

[Miles Away]

That 11 should be strong enough to beat most championship sides to be honest.

All fair. Can we agree the 2 keepers thing is silly though?

If we thought that there was a realistic chance that any of the six were likely to still be here at the weekend, you'd imagine that they'd have been included tonight.

 

[popillius]

Oh yeah. It's batshit mental. I can only imagine he's trying to make a point. It's just a bit daft.

Extraordinarily, Tranmere are starting the same keeper as played against us for them in the 2000 League Cup Final - Joe Murphy, now aged 42.

For context, Tim Flowers was in goal for us that day and he's now 56.

 

[Robin127]

Wheel out Matt Elliott.

That’s the stat of the season.
