McNair and Forss in, Bola and Akpom out.

Interesting that nobody is putting Fry back in the starting line up? If it was a minor knock that kept him on the bench last week, surely he would be fit enough this week?

I'm not overly keen on messing with the defence too much. I won't be against him coming back in but it's basically between him and Lenihan for the central spot in that defence and Lenihan played fine against West Brom. Not exceptional, I think he had a bit of a tough time in the second half but I also think that was partly down to the collective issues we were having. Put McNair in for Bola and that should improve. I would definitely not advocate for Fry at LCB.

I don't want him playing LCB & despite what Humpty thinks, he doesn't displace Lenihan in the middle.

Thanks for the replies lads. I just find it interesting that one of our longest serving and better defenders, in my opinion doesn't make it into anyone's starting 11. Have we improved that much at the back that he doesn't deserve to be in there?

Are you suggesting vegetarians are into incest? 😮

Well it is a game the whole family can play...

While Lenihan did fine against WBA there were a couple of occasions where I was a bit worried and I don't think he covered himself in glory for their goal. I don't think he is as good as Fry though. I was mainly leaving Fry on the bench because I'm not sure whether he is 100%.

1. Will we have any new signings in time for this game?

Of course not, we'll get in 3 signings of questionable talent on deadline day... still think it's been an okay window so far though.

2. Starting lineup?

McNair in for Howson, think we're struggling more in Midfield numbers than at the back. I'd like to keep the Bola experiment going for a little longer.

3. D'ya like Parmos?

They've only just crept into the North West, the best I've had in Manchester is Parmogeddon. First time I discovered them was living in the North East for University a decade ago and that was my go to after a night out. 🤠

I've never understood the need for meat substitutes. I eat a couple of days vegetarian a week and never use tofu, quorn, etc. Theres so much you can do without them that it just seems wrong to put them in and to be honest seems like a bit of a get out clause for vegetarians.

 

Plus they taste like ass

You do know you can get vegan meat substitutes now? In our local Sainsburys they do plant-based burgers, steaks and sausages. You could just substitute that for the meat.

Quorn parmo anyone?

I think the idea is they're supposed to have a similar texture / consistency to meat and can be cooked the same ways.

I mean I have seen cauliflower steaks in the supermarket, but I can't imagine eating a cauliflower parmo.

Plus quorn / meat substitutes taste like ass because of what they're made from. The idea is you're supposed to put other things in to make them taste nice.
