Another great away win - why oh why can we not replicate this at home (I do think the bigger pitch plays some part) . Massive game on Tuesday to follow now on Tuesday with a much needed home win against Burnley.
Still don't understand the reluctance to give the new players minutes. Will now reaching the magic 40 points lead to a slight change.
My main issue isn't that Moyes doesn't start the new players but that he's reluctannt to give them any minutes, even a 5 minute cameo.
From what I've seen of Rohl he is more than capable, and, as well as Gueye played, surely would have been better to get fresh legs on?! Is the lack of minutes for Rohl maybe down to the terms of his loan and the potential for signing him for cheaper?!
Anyway, we're on 40 points in February, which has been unthinkable in the last few seasons and a good end to the season could see us in Europe next year - which I think has more pros than cons in keeping our best players and enticing new and quality players! So it's not all doom and gloom!

Starting 11, not so much a mystery when comparing 1 to 1. Are the ones sitting on the bench better than the ones on the pitch? McNeil did okay yesterday, but arguably in his case there were better on the bench, especially Armstrong. Grandson is a PNE supporter; he reckons they began their present bad form when Armstrong left.
In their job, these guys (even Dyche) are experienced managers/coaches. Yes, they have favourites and certainly preferred set ups and way of playing. That is normal in all walks. We are not even in the same room/house of finished article yet, we are in the same street, we will progress.
