[Cobi Budge]

A very attacking 11. Let’s go.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

The Mayor/Cooper left side reunited, they played well together before injuries.

 

[Mark Pedlar]

I hope they're not strong down their right!!

 

[leedann]

Our left side of Cooper and Mayor looks very strong going forward but extremely weak defensively. Would have preferred Grant instead of Cooper personally, but as Cobi says a very attacking line up.

 

[Balham Green]

I hope they're not strong down their right!!

Or left. Not many ball winners in there.

 

[arrythewurzel]

Not keen on that line up .. changes in personnel and playing Broom out of position is not to my liking personally …

 

[mutley marvel]

Looking forward to seeing what Danny & Va Va Voom can do

Great to see George back - but i can't help thinking it will take him a few games to hit the heights prior to his injury- maybe RL will give him 45 mins then bring Conor on in the 2nd half

I guess we will have to wait & see

Not enough changes in my opinion. Why risk Houghton, Hardie and Edwards in this game? I get that the back 3 we can’t rotate but elsewhere I would have preferred some rest ahead of two massive games. Surely Law and Randell could get some minutes against a mid table L2 side?

Happy to see Broom and Mayor playing together though.

 

[West Norwood Green]

Exciting to see Ennis & Bolton on the bench. They must be raring to go

Yep, agree with all of that. How match fit and match sharp will Cooper be?
Perhaps ITV asked us to bench "our" Conor Grant to help the commentators!

 

[peak 46]

Good in the middle, weak around the edges might be a reasonable summary. Big need to get the first goal today I think.

 

[JRDub]

Cooper in because we're letting Connor Grant play for them today (#11)?! Very charitable of us! ;-)

Could be interesting for the commentator if our CG does come on at some point.

 

[Willis88]

what a line up, this is the Argyle we all dream of seeing.

Feel bad on Connor Grant missing out, but will be good to see Cooper on the pitch!

A mid table side unbeaten in 9 games. This won't be easy. Would take a draw.
