Seconded! Handy for an evening out, POTG and cheap as chips - pity there's no replays in this competition!

you would'nt squeeze everybody in Whaddon Road

Will be interesting to see how the team sets itself out. Looks to me that Bruno is in midfield.

How many defenders do we need? Not impressed with that lineup at all.

Assuming Bruno will be used in midfield. Some sort of 4-4-2 potentially or 3 centre backs with Bruno and Chicksen as wing backs. Not sure what shale it will take though as there is no other wide player amongst the midfielders.

Surely we have enough midfielders not to have to play a defender there?

No width and no creative players.

March still out injured according to Naylor on twitter. Make of Buckleys omission from the bench what you will. Doesn't instill me with confidence this lineup but we can hope

Stockdale; Chicksen, Greer, Dunk, Calderon; Bruno, Ince, Forster-Caskey; Agustien, Mackail-Smith, O'Grady

Confusing the way they lay out the teams when naming them now - always used to name them from right to left (probably coinciding with the old numbering scheme - GK 1, RB 2, LB 3, RH 4 etc. etc.

So what's going on here? Chicksen at RB and Calde at LB? Or is Bruno playing left midfield?

should we get used to a line-up like this I wonder?

Perhaps if we don't do much business. I'm going out on a whim and going to suggest we'll see a diamond in the middle

--------Ince--------
--Bruno-----JFC---
--------Kemy------

With Calde and Chicksen providing the width

Could be 3-5-2 -

----------------Stockdale;

----------Greer, Dunk, Calderon;

Bruno-------------------------------Chicksen;
------------Ince,--------Forster-Caskey;
------------------Agustien

------------Mackail-Smith, O'Grady

......or could we even be looking at some sort of 4-4-2, with Bruno and Calde just looking after the right side between them (something I've always felt I'd quite like to see tried)?
