    Why have we moved to Wednesday this season? We’ve traditionally played on Tuesdays. Don’t we give a preference before the fixtures are set? Was is Torquay always played their home fixtures on a Friday night because of tourist changeovers on Saturdays.

    It’s because of Sky TV. Not all games are on Wednesday. Tuesdays and Wednesday games are shared out fairly between all teams.

    It's almost as though we've promised Arsenal that Cuffy will play and thus leaving us the problem of what we do with Ogbene.




    To play both Norton-Cuffy & Chieo both wide you go 4-5-1 & switch one of them to the left were we are weak.

    Kelly cannot lead the line on his own. Despite his physical appearance he is a poacher, not a target man. He's more ALF than Alan Lee. If playing Kelly (which I hope we do) then he must have someone up top alongside him.

    Two home games on a Wednesday (September, October)
    Two on a Tuesday (March, April).

    Keep with 3-5-2 then still switch Chieo to.the left with McCart a natural left sided player behind him. Kelly & Washington up.front.

    That's where you're struggling them because Eaves is struggling.

    Unless you play Wood upfront.

    He is "Rotherham's veteran striker" according to one website I read last week.
