Tough call today - we’re lacking bodies and have a young ish defence and Burton are a typical physical and direct side that we tend to struggle against. Add in that we’ve never won away at the Pirelli then it doesn’t bode well…. BUT (perhaps stupidly!) I think we’ll win - 3-1… I think we’ll see a change in formation with 3 at the back… Belshaw Gibbo Connolly Hoole Anderson Evans Finley Saunders Collins Loft Marquis 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-3 formation Potentially could take Loft out and put Collins with Marquis and then bring Jones in to play behind the front 2…. I think Kilgour isn’t fully fit so expect to see him on the bench… My intuition about us having a new LB available today was right all along… gonna change my line to: Belly Gibbo Hoole Connolly Gordon Finley Anderson Evans Lawrence Collins Marquis

For all the whining I think that’s an improvement on last week.

Was hoping Harvey Saunders started as Burtons defence looks a bit slow. Good to see Finners back just hope he is fit enough to do himself justice.

Looking at the bench JB really meant what he said about giving youth a chance (apart from Whelan, obviously).

For all the whining I think that’s an improvement on last week. Definitely we ain't carrying Westbrook and hopefully Evo will be more effective without having to worry about Westbrook covering

As good as we could have hoped ….
Could be a day for the Finishers…. Lot of energy on the bench plus a wise sage.
Lofty …. HUGE day for you … Go make it yours!

Moore Taylor? The big striker He's a centre half. 🙂 Well whoever it was that scored FGR first goal was a big bloke and comfortably headed the ball in,despite a couple of Rovers players 'challenging'. Please don't tell me the blokes 4ft 8.

I don't get it. JB has said that we will need to play a more direct game today due to our shortage of players who can play out from the back, but we've just binned Westbrooke and Clarke who were criticised for being too direct. 🤔
