Philip_RJ89 Philip West tweeted: “Reasonably happy with this team. Wyke for Grigg would’ve been the big change, for me. Leadbitter and Scowen is a decent pairing with no Max Power, and defensively we look solid enough as well. Optimistic for a victory! #SAFC”
_JordanSimpson J. Simpson tweeted: “We've got no central midfielders on the bench. Why isn't Dan Neil on the bench at least?! #SAFC”
petefeet67 Peterfeet added: “#safc Apart from Wyke, nearly our best lineup with some potential creativity from Gooch and Scowen.”
