@NUFCR2 – “I like it. Miggy back in the starting lineup and a huge opportunity for both Longstaff brothers to prove their worth (I’m looking at you Sean). Howay lads get stuck in.”

@SholaGianfranco – “I’m aware I’m in danger of becoming an eternal pessimist but I don’t have a great feeling about today’s game.”

@Muzza_90 – “Murphy unlucky to miss out. Let's hope Sean steps up after Matty's decent performance.”

@alexwooda392 – “Some solid changes here made by Bruce. Miggys work ethic will suit against this energetic Leicester side. The combination of the two Longstaff brothers will be the interesting thing today as Matty has been brilliant and Sean really hasn’t. Only time will tell.”

@NUFCNewsroom_ – “Matty and Sean start in the midfield together. We know what happened last time they played together at SJP.”
