Utrecht won’t be pushovers, #NFFC need to make changes but this could be a tight game that needs some patience and professionalism from players that on paper are at a higher level than the opposition.
Let’s start strong, try and get the job done early and then bring the subs on to manage the game.

I doubt we’ll see any of them starting tomorrow night but Luiz, Zinchenko and Bakwa being back really helps #NFFC increase their depth for these games and gives an opportunity to give some key players a rest…

Just a really poor game with #NFFC making Everton look a lot better than they are.
It’s hard to put a finger to on exactly what’s changed but performances have dropped this past week and we need to see a reaction against Utrecht and Spurs.
Individually and collectively not good enough.

Not entirely surprised by an unchanged team but probably would have brought Hudson-Odoi in for this one, we need to see a bit of a reaction from Ndoye.
#NFFC will need to move quickly with subs in the second half with most of these players playing three games this week.

It’s going to be a real battle for #NFFC today, but Dyche and the players will be up for it and the baseline of performances has been increased to the point where as poor as we were at Wolves we still won the game.
Let’s hope our first trip to the HDS will be a memorable one.

Wingers are inconsistent by default, they’re taking on defenders and playing in crosses which tend to be lower percentage moments in games, any wingers who can find some consistency end up playing for top sides.

Job done. #NFFC were pretty awful but Wolves were worse, and less said about the officiating the better.
You just need to win these games and move on, Everton will be a lot more difficult but we know that we can play a lot better than we saw tonight.

It’s great to see Hutchinson get a deserved start and for #NFFC to start with two wingers, Ndoye probably offers a good balance with a lot of the Wolves threat coming from their right wing back…

There are no easy games in this league but #NFFC have to be winning tonight.
Wolves will beat someone this season, we just need to make sure it isn’t us, it doesn’t need to be pretty.

Another tough one for #NFFC today against a good Brighton team but it’s an opportunity to get points against a team our style of play has had some joy against in recent years, one that does concede goals, and one that’s a different beast at the Amex than they are on the road…

Looking ahead to Brighton and it’s a great chance for #NFFC to continue this good run of form against a really strong side who are quietly having a decent season…

File that one under job done.
#NFFC made plenty of changes, took a few of their chances and made sure Malmo got nowhere near John’s goal.
The atmosphere in the ground matched the intensity of the game, but looking at it positively…

Yeah that’s about right, I’m hoping #NFFC don’t have a lot of defending to do tonight so that mitigates Abbott and Morato at full back, Williams and Savona needed a rest.
I’m guessing it’s Dominguez and Hudson-Odoi wide with McAtee behind Kalimuendo…

I’m glad we’re seeing some consistency in team selection from #NFFC, any rotation will come on Thursday.
That XI can set up in different ways and if we can stay in the game there’s plenty of quality on the bench to come on and cause problems to tiring legs…

There’s never a good time to go to Anfield, and despite recent results the squad Liverpool have is up there with the best in Europe, if not the world, but #NFFC have an opportunity to go there and cause an upset…

I’d hoped the #NFFC injury list would be shorter after the international break, and maybe it’s some Cooper style deflection from Dyche, but with three game weeks most of the time from now until the new year the squad is going to be really stretched…

How long Dyche and co spend at #NFFC will be determined by results, the same as any other management team, but the difference is stark between those desperate to be here, and the previous manager who seemed to feel like he was doing us a favour turning up every day.

With a run of Liverpool, Malmo, Brighton, Wolves, Everton, Utrecht and Spurs in the space of three weeks Dyche is going to need everyone in the squad to get through it.

I’m reluctant to call any game in early November a must win, but today for #NFFC is as close as it gets.
A win would represent a first three points in the league since the opening day, it would make the last two draws look like better results, and show that the recovery has started…

Happy enough with the line up, a bit more of a narrow 4-3-3 but plenty of quality if #NFFC expect to have more of the ball.
Hopefully they’ll can get the job done and take off a few ahead of the weekend.
