    It's a well known fact that we go into a international break always with a loss next to our name.
    Maybe just maybe you might have a point champs.
    Hopefully a much better performance against huddersfield will calm the natives down a little.
    If the worst comes to the worst and all the injured players fail to make the next match,how about this line up

    Gk leutwiller
    Rb nyambe
    CB Williams
    CB tosin
    Lb hart

    RM Armstrong
    Cm Davenport
    Cm Holtby
    Lm downing

    Fw samuel
    Fw Gallagher

    A little old fashioned with 4-4-2 but with the potential of travis,lenihan,Cunningham and Walton out of the starting line up and of course dack and Graham out of form.
    We need to start trying others out.

    Sorry - been away for a couple of days, taking advantage of some sudden sunshine, after a very wet six weeks. Back to rain today!
    I quite like that team, Robin, but we are much weaker with Travis not there.

    I like this team too. Throws the cat amount the pigeons. I think the one thing we all agree on, he's probably staying too loyal to players who are not putting it all in.
    Once the break is over, we have Holtby in a fitter place than he was. And starting games which he can influence. He should make a big difference.

    We were in a bach (NZ name for a traditional, family holiday home - often quite basic, as in this case!) on the Karikari Peninsula in the north-east of the North Island.
    Amazing beaches, only well used in the school summer holidays. At one point on Wednesday, we could look about 800 metres in either direction without seeing another person.
    As I said, we have had an awful two months, weather-wise, so it was lovely to get some sun.

    Champs and Robin - I said about a month ago that TM was taking the pragmatic route of using his most experienced players to grind out results. At that point, it seemed to be working. Now, God knows!
    Three choices, really:
    1) Keep more or less the same team and rely on them to turn things around. (This would require dramatically improved form, in some cases!)
    2) What my dad use to call "the whole kit and caboodle" approach. That is, a mass change, with three or four youngsters given a go.
    3) The bite-the-bullet option of calling time on Bennett and Graham, and giving up on the "wide third forward". This would probably mean 3-5-2, 3-4-3 (with Chapman as one of the front three) or 4-4-2.
    Don't ask me to choose, though, because I'm really not sure.

    I really hope with lenihans injury,mowbray isn't thinking of sticking Williams at left back and nyambe at centre half.
    2 wrongs dont make a right.
