@SAFCSpencer: “Would much prefer Neil in midfield 3 instead of Leadbitter. A much-needed bit of creativity. All 3 starting today are all similar types of players.”
@JoeMcNa36001719: “Would have liked to see Stewart start. Might need more match fitness.”
@nicholaswilso11: “433 by the looks of it then, ha’way the lads... 3 points please.”
