We really needed 3 points last night and so really need 3 points on Tuesday!
Bruce is gradually weeding out the chaff and last night albeit for only 10 minutes, he played Diangana in his best position and we looked menacing albeit Diang's crossing was woeful. He's not the sharpest knife in the box Steve but seems to be getting there in his own time - problem is games are running out fast.
What does he do with Johnstone?
We looked great for the last 10 minutes if a little vulnerable to the counter-attack. Nevertheless it's time for brave hearts and I would therefore start with the team that finished, go for the jugular and see what happens.
Johnstone
Ajayi-Clarke
TGH Townsend
Livermore
Mowatt Diangana
Robinson
Carroll - Grant
Difficult to draw arrows but TGH and Townsend need to push on (Ajayi too - as and when - as he has been doing in the last two games) and Livermore needs to play a very disciplined role shielding the CBs.
