@AdamCavo: "This team confuses me, isn’t it just a few centre-halves and loads of centre mids?"

@JWinmill91: "4-2-3-1? 4-3-2-1? 4-5-1? Interesting. Glad to see Biss back. Probably the hardest fixture of the season but to have any joy we have to stop their fullbacks."

@JaydenCookMo19: "A very defensive line-up!! Graham Potter is not a risk-taker."

@bhafcnozzaa: "Class. Let’s get this win."
