The number of people who were there for the incident which made him a legend are getting fewer by the year. 30 yrs ago? 39 years ago if it’s the incident I remember! Wow! Defo less d less of us about.

Can't make head or tail of that lineup, a few players are going to be out of position for sure. I'm surprised that Wiles doesn't start, he had his best game for us last week. 2 keepers on the bench but aside from that a few players who can hopefully affect the game.

I’m guessing the two keepers on the bench is maybe because Balker was a late withdrawal and so an outfielder was promoted to the starting eleven in his place, leaving the bench one short with the travelling squad? That's far too sensible for this forum. Stone him.

2 bloody goalies on the bench? That can't be right surely! I agree they should both start

I reckon that's Kasumu that's come in for Balker. Better to field a full bench with 2 GK rather than a bench with 6.

In 50 plus years, never, ever seen as many injuries that took out so many, so often and for the length of time they are out. Its becoming more than odd.?

Unfucking believable how many withdrawals and injuries we get.

Town are notorious for helping teams out on a dismal/losing run, but we have had our moments in history for ending winning/unbeaten runs also......Like our team & bench options, Saints are unchanged from Rotherham, could it be?

We scored all four goals last week with no "strikers" on the pitch. At least with Koroma & Thomas, we have a bit of pace for those breakaways.

I love how we are using a "Darren Moore" as rhyming slang for a draw 😆 It's now going to be forever known as a Darren to me. Win , lose or Darren I just hope we don't disgrace ourselves. A 2-2 Darren imo today A 2-2 is a Desmond surely? 😉 Or perhaps is should be a Desmond Darren? 😁 That's good 😆

Where's Balker? And 2 keepers on the bench. Christ. My initial thought 2 keepers on the bench. Why didn't Darren think of playing 3 in nets ? Lol

Never been against getting shut of the 'big striker' tactic, Ward wasnt one, neither of the signings appears to be exactly that either, but the injuries and sickness levels at Town, the numbers, the length of time out etc will have to be looked at throughly at some point.. Be nice to have a centre half and a striker on the bench? ?? Something has to change..

Thank the lord DM never put 2 keepers on the bench. Can only imagine the response on here..... He would have gone out with 8 subs or somehow decided 5 was a good idea. If he's there he may as well sit on the bench.. probably 1 in 1000 chance of getting on, but still a chance. Someone has obviously pulled out since travelling.

Something Moore could have done with the younger lads instead of the two games he decided to not fill the subs bench. He's just not bright enough to give the young lads an opportunity to have some first team matchday experience.
