I like your second team (ie the one lower down), though I would probably put in Robson for Cardle.
Archie did mention doubt over Zanatta, which could let Cardle back in. Another option would be to recall Palmer and go for 4-3-3 with Bannigan, Cole and Palmer in midfield and Robson and Kakay supporting Miller up front.
I would guess the majority of what you refer to as 'sweetie wives' really don't give a flying f*ck about the content of this subject so I would urge you to please don't assume anyone is offended.
It is more of nod to the fact that the subject has simply outlived it's useful life.
You should view any criticism as more of a sardonic flick of the wrist …. so please don't get yourself overwrought.
Before he was bulleted I heard players including Spittal and Penrice say that he's a very good coach. Doolan has since said similar. Perhaps that's where his future lies. Whether or not he'll accept that is another story.
