Gibson in

[cricketfieldclarets]

Happy days. Cant wait to see him.

[Safron]

Who is dropped?

[BFCmaj]

Who is dropped?

Long

[cricketfieldclarets]

Longs out. Harsh but couldnt see it being Mee. Overall Mee is our best cb out of him and long and this looks like an excellent system potentially.

[Right_winger]

Long is better than Mee, he has all the physical tools which Mee doesn’t.

[the_fat_shearer]

Lowton and Vokes in too.

Didn't think that Bardsley had looked too bad.

Happy for Vokes to get a go.

[happyclaret17]

feel sorry for Long....thought he was m.o.m against newcastle when I last went on.

[South West Claret.]

I bet Gibson's dying to impress on his return from injuries.

Bardsleys been great. But a lot of games over next week. Plus with 3 solid centre halves peehaps better to have lowton whos better going forwards.

[happyclaret17]

I think Lowtons been at best average this season...hope he has bucked his ideas up.

[elwaclaret]

Not sure I would have been changing the defense around after recent performances. If Lowton gets his late season form of recent years rather than his start of season form, which is always dodgy then I can see why he's been brought back. But that is why Sean is paid the money.

[Long Time Lurker]

I think the inclusion of Gibson might be to capitalise on his passing/distribution. Possibly pinging out diagonals which would explain the Lowton/Bardlsey swap. Overall it should give us more going forward.

I was expecting Mee/Tarks/Long with Tarks having a little license to push into midfield which would allow one of the central midfielders to move into the final third to support the strikers.

The Gibson inclusion could work though and it's good to see us experimenting a bit. We need a bit more forward oomph with our creative wingers not playing a part at the moment and Lennon recovering.

[Vino blanco]

With Brady and Iceland both out, Lowton is our best option of getting crosses in. I'm assuming that is the reasoning.

Happy for Vokes to get a go.

Looking like Bardsley got a start for his better defending. Kept his spot cos he got MoM, then we won. Then two tough away days.
Need better crossing today so Matt is back.

Ffs

[joey13]

Mee marking no one again

[Right_winger]

Mee marking no one again

I really don’t get Ben Mee at all. All he has is last ditch blocks the rest of his game is gash

[cricketfieldclarets]

Zero pace out wide

[cricketfieldclarets]

Ffs saw that a mile off.

[ElectroClaret]

Terrible play for the header, no challenge at all.

[cricketfieldclarets]

Wow

[cricketfieldclarets]

To be fair to Gibson. I think he has actually looked fairly steady.

[ElectroClaret]

Yes he has looked pretty steady. Trouble is, he's surrounded by the usual dross.

[lrac]

To be fair to Gibson. I think he has actually looked fairly steady.

To be fair the whole team needs rocket up there asses

[joey13]

Playing along side Mee , I’d look decent

[South West Claret.]

To be fair to Gibson. I think he has actually looked fairly steady.

Good, considering the score in his 1st game since injury.

And the pies have been in the oven at least 5 hours

Good, because he remained focussed on putting the ball in the net, instead of twirling around with his arm in the air to look at the ref.
