Very disappointing starting 11, no pace or creativity.

Pretty much what I thought. I’m sure Wilson will be introduced for Ojo around the hour mark depending on the situation. Strange thing for me though is why have 2 centre backs on the bench and not Gavin whyte or even one of the younger players as an attacking option?

We are away from home though so solid to start and then we can introduce the subs if needed.

Yeah and add Tomlin and Bennett to that

I never understand why you sign a big player and put them on the bench? I like a manager to have more balls, and make a decision.

He has played three games in 8 days, I expect he will come on as a sub!

The look of the bench is so much better now though! And it is a long season, especially this year with so many games coming thick and fast

Theres usually a reason.Perhaps a little jaded after international duty.

Disappointed but not surprised with that line up. Never really expected him to do anything different.

He can't say he hasn't got the players now to change things
No excuses for another poor display today its all on Harris team selection if it goes wrong today. That squad is more than capable of beating Preston

Yes suppose so - it’s the Harris formula of going for a goalless hour then unleash the cavalry.
He wouldn’t dare try it the other way round though

Play well or get dropped for two months

Does seem a bit strange, but possibly gives us the option to go 3 at the back if we need to during the game??

Bench looks good. Plenty of options to change things there.
