@TylerGraham_: “Positive. Glad Flanno is back.”
@lewygsafc: “Solid!”
@Mcewan1320David: “How does Scowen get into the side.”
@macca1937: “Can’t tell if it’s 3 at the back with Gooch RWB and O’Nien centre half or 4 at the back with O’Nien RB and gooch in 10.”
@bigsteviedove: “Flanagan will probably end up going off injured like previous games.”
@imliamwaite: “Actual centre backs at the heart of the defence and O’Nien into midfield has potential to transform us. Still not that confident, but that team is as good as we could have hoped for.”

@JHerra18: “Glad he’s gone back to a back 3. The front 3 should be enough on their own to get a goal or two.”
