Harsh on Woods. Good to see Douglas and Ashworth still available though.

I believe Ashworth has a rib injury, so i think it'll be between Cox or Gregson to miss out.

Did you see his performance last week? Never took the line on, just endless up and under which apart from the one at the start of the second half, were easily defused. Please leave this type of kicking to Riddy, as there is snow on it when he does it.

If Woods is fit then it may seem harsh on him , but could be the jolt he needs to get more involved other than the high kicks.I would also be ready to Russell a go.

I felt both our half backs were well policed by 'Fax. How many times was Martyn 'isolated' from any support and caught in possession? Also, in fairness to the two half backs, they weren't the only ones who performed below par. I give 'Fax credit for that. They put us under more pressure than Toulouse, and are one of the better Championship teams - but then, the bulk of their squad has been together a lot longer than ours. Let's cut our guys some slack, eh?

My expectations are low.Its early days and we do not have a lot to choose from.We ended up well beat last week, by a below strength fax, but we do have a nucleus of experienced players who are going to have to see us through.
2nd half we had chances early, errors and decisions went against us but we did not live with fax when they upped the pace.
I think the up and unders are a poor tactic but common to most teams.I am looking for some innovation and variety, with a squad like ours we are going to need both to win games.

We didn't live with Fax at the Shay last season and that was a well cohersed squad made up of a £1.6m wage bill and a pre-season. Your expectations are low?
Mine are quite high! Given the competitive start, part-time,no money, no pre-season,fantastic fan base and a coach who carries character. Poor tactics are only poor when they don't work.

They are still gelling as a squad and not being full-time now will add to that. As a new squad, they have started pretty well in my eyes.

Absolutely spot on - 2 months ago we didn't even have a team.

I think we have a good chance against Fev on Sunday - well I have predicted it
