I'm one of the 5000 who will be waking up at 5am for this one
At £7.50 I couldn't turn it down, even if it is a long trip and Sky decided to screw us over again.
On the Vrancic/Leitner debate, they're very similar quality players, and I wouldn't be upset to see either of them start Sunday. My preference though would probably be Vrancic to drop in alongside Trybull, with McLean moving into the advanced position. I think Vrancic provides that little bit more creativity than Leitner, hence why he has 7 goals 5 assists, and Leitner has 2 goals 2 assists this season. Not saying Mario is better than Mo in general, they're just different sort of players. So yeah, hopefully Vrancic being in the side can go someway to making up for Emi missing.
It's harsh on Cantwell to be dropped, because he didn't really do anything wrong, but he was asked to essentially replace what Buendia does for this team which he just can't do (which isn't his fault, just a reflection on how good Emi is). But seeing as we can't replace Emi with a like for like, Farke should change things up slightly. Have to say I'll be a bit disappointed if Vrancic/Leitner don't start this game.
This feels huge after the dropped points against Reading, especially as Leeds and Sheffield United will likely narrow the gap on Saturday (Sheffield United definitely will as they have Millwall at home). With 5000 fans it's gonna feel like a home game, and hopefully the players will respond to that. Can't wait! OTBC
