Re: Cullen and Muric back in for Saturday?
Rather than making more changes, what we need to do is settle on a formation and starting 11 and stick with it. Have we played the same 11 in consecutive league games this season? VK is tinkering every week and it isn't helping anyone, especially our goalkeeper. I'm sure I read on another thread tha...

VK is a lucky man tonight. A disgraceful first half but we got out of jail thanks to Trafford making a few saves. The new lads looked positive but there are more questions than answers.

Some of the comments on here are ridiculous. Benson was a match winner last season - mainly from the bench.
