Still don't get having Coyle and Gore on the bench but there you go .

Coyle looked like he hadn't trained for 12 months when he ran up the touch line last week

[DavidM]

Aye lotta making up to do physically . The lads got talent you can see it in there , and a shrewd rugby brain , so hopefully Johnson gets him up to speed and we see his body letting him show if more fully . If that Kavanagh was available may have had him on the bench with Shacks n Coward out , but they know the craic .

[The Voodooguru]

We have to give the lad a chance, the only way he's gonna get match fit is by playing matches.
Because its a wide pitch is prob the reason why both gore and coyle are included on the bench. We look pretty strong so time for a bit of payback!!!!

[GeordieTownie]

Even without Playing you can be fitter than that. Look at Acton. He hasn't played this season but still looks very fit

[DavidM]

Yeh they saw last season that the key to getting on top of this big Donny side is to speed up the ruck and sweep forward at pace - we saw it here , and we saw it in the last 30 on telly when they were chasing shadows . So Gore and Phillips have huge roles today , with your halves to , so their probably looking at selection with a style of play in mind . Get things sped up n get scooting at them !! Fax were awesome at slowing us down and it blunted our threat .

Looking very fit and being match fit are 2 very different things.

Not quite as hopeful as i was now. Fingers are gonna be sore from being crossed so firmly. Thought Kris C would've been in the team

Yes, I would have liked to have seen KC in the squad today. We have several players in there that can play in different positions though.

[TOWN TILL I DIE]

According to twitter neil frazer is a late call up for someone pulling out not sure who

[town88]

Brett Carter not playing I've heard

[DavidM]

Dear me I thought we'd moved on from this

[Derwent]

Thought Kris C would've been in the team

Think Kris is away on a stag do ?

[gillmeister]

If its Carter thats missing then I think were going to struggle today, Wonder who 18th man was? And am I the only person who thinks players should be putting playing over stuff like stag dos??

[DavidM]

These things yet again don't do you any favours looking in from the outside . That's a big rejig around now and hurts our
strike massively

[GeordieTownie]

What's wrong with Brett?

[wonky]

hes been dropped apparantly. calling an player out of retirement only 3 games in is very poor. surely we have better options. and thats no disrespect to gus as he gives 100% but we should be better prepared than this.

[DavidM]

Yep, just look at the squad lists to see were light on backs again for a hard season ,esp with one or two long termers

What is going on? It's very unprofessional and doesn't inspire the fans when you get last minute changes like this. Come on Town get it together!!!
