Back to basics with 4-4-2 to stop us losing maybe. Presume crookes instead of montano was because we are away. Same for Joyce over Taylor.

Strange imo. Home or away montano is better than crookes and Taylor better than Joyce. Guessing they must have impressed in training

On Montano it could be a case of referring back to what Clarke said yesterday about scouting Vale and maybe he thinks Monty is too forward thinking to have him and Gibbo in the side? Or maybe he still sees him  as a winger rather than a left back, after all didnt someone say Clarke signed Monty at one point in his career?

Given his penchant for tinkering, maybe he's gone for Crookes to provide the flexibility, so we can switch between back 3 or 4 without personnel changes? Then comes down to Hurst or Monty. 

Interesting stuff either way. And plenty of options off the bench at least. Gives the likes of Hurst, Conlon and Dave (all of whom can tend to tire after an hour or so) licence to go hell for leather and press on first 45, knowing we have Taylor, Monty, Manny and Swan to come on as our 'finishers'.

How he can pick Crookes after his recent performances is beyond me - slow, lacks height and presence and positional play non-existent. And not too happy about monty being left out. The bench looks stronger than the starting eleven!

Anyway, come on Darrell, we're right behind you - three points today please.

 

PS looks like 352 to me

I'm interested to see how the young CB from Huddersfield plays today. Thats a very young looking backline overall. Big performance from Brown needed talking his way through the game to help them along.

Hopefully we will see an extra 10% of effort today for a new manager along with a positive performance.

Clean slate for everyone over the next 18 games.
