    After yesterday I don’t think Ange even knows who is best to play the start team is no where near what we should start this game with. I would go,

    Barkas

    urogihde
    Welsh
    Bitton
    Taylor/Montgomery

    Soro
    McGregor

    Turnbull
    Abada
    Rogic

    Edouard

    I feel a bit sick about this game after watching the pre-season and seeing how light our squad is now.

    I think it'll take a fantastic performance for us to win this game but hope I'm wrong.

    Im very pessimistic about this game,it’s 3-4 weeks too soon.Our defence is a shambles.Hearing they’ve lost their first game of the season after having sold good players and are rebuilding like ourselves so you never know.

    As long as they don’t get any corners, free kicks, crossing opportunities or long balls on top of our defence we should be fine.

    I actually think Ange has played a master stroke of psyching out our opponents by lulling them into a false sense of security with that game against Preston. I'm convinced he sent the players out with instructions to look * so Midtjylland don't know what they are in for. He'll have told Montgomery to give the opposition the ball at every crossing opportunity, Ajeti to never be in the right position to get a pass, the 2 CBs to look like rabbits in headlights at any cross or high ball near our box, Eddy to come on and look like he'd rather be absolutely anywhere else, and for Ralston and Taylor... to just be themsleves.

    We'll see on Tuesday if they fell for it.

    I think he might continue the strategy on Tuesday to further lull them in and then do them in the return leg.

    How we didn’t have about 3 defenders in before this tie I’ll never know.

    Think Ajers a better right back then centre back. Heard Hjelde can play left back (can’t be any worse then Boli/Taylor). Aswell after last season we need all the help we can with height at set pieces. A back 4 that doesn’t fill me with confidence but no back 4 we can name could

    Just need to stay in it, much like Rosenberg a few years ago.. Would take a 0-0..

    Continue to recruit, gel and build, hopefully he in a better place for the rerurn..

    It is a tall order tho.

    My *, if we do that on Tuesday he's even more crafty than I initially suspected. Plans within plans.

    Don't we need to have registered the players that can play in the second leg already? I was sure you register the players for the entire round, not just the one game.

    Honestly no idea what we’ll play for this, usually have a rough idea but nah. Only players you can say will 100% start are probably Barkas, McGregor and Turnbull

    The full backs will be Ralston and Taylor going by what has happened pre-season.

    Uroghide is never a RB. O'Connor if not Ralston.

    0 - 0 would be a great result under the circumstances. Your post says it all really, it's as positive as we can be at the minute.

    Game coming to soon for us sadly and I’m afraid scummy press can’t wait to have another field day at our expense

    regardless, I’ll be 100% behind the team as always

    Was on Mansion bet but they've changed now. Probably got hammered at that price. 23/10 now
