Thomas back Hoole away. No one back from injury.
Back 3 or 4? Anyone want to guess the selection?

Bristol Rovers to win
4 - 0, 4 - 1 or 5 - 1.
Alternatively, Stan to win by the odd goal in a low scoring encounter.
That's what the short record book suggests.

It was very entertaining last week but surely a back 4 until we get another CB fit

Who knows. Common sense says Thomas with Alfie, but if he wouldnt play him last weekend, no idea why he would this weekend.
I reckon
Belly Clarke Thomas Whelan Anderson Finley Evans Gordon McCormick Loft Collins
But who knows.
9-13 loss incoming

Please no more Whelan in the starting lineup, especially at centre half. 🙏

He needs to play Kilgour alongside Thomas in the 4231 formation that has worked well for him. Forget 352 with loads of players out of position.
We’ve already missed so many chances for 3 points at home against the clubs we should be looking to beat ( no offence to them meant) and this is another one where even with the injuries we’ve got we should and need to beat these teams at home if we’re going to stop ourselves from getting cut adrift.
It’s got to be back to basics , there’s a 5th of the season gone and it’s late in the day to be still experimenting, we can’t rely on having a season like last season again they happen about once every 20 years I reckon on average.

Joe wants to play 343 and even in defeat thought things were moving in the right direction.
Where does that leave Gibbons ,Hoole, clarke and gordon. If they play as part of the 4 thats essentially playing 541 or 523 . Plenty of teams play it and it kind of signals the end of traditional fullbacks and centrebacks . So Alfie may as well ask for a transfer in January.
Time will tell ,but im not keen on the formation. Much prefer the 4-2-3-1 we have played.
Onto this game ,history hints at a narrow defeat or a big home victory. Either way the defence will need to play better than last weekend . Else its a high scoring draw or we get smashed.
My choice would be a back four. Kilgour and Thomas in the middle with Gordon/clarke and Anderson wider. Offer Coutts/whelan as support when passing out. Play a 3 in front ,using Finley,McCormick, Evans. With Loft and Collins up top.

Alfie and Thomas in the middle of back4, just looked at league table, top 6 makes you realise what we are up against!

If he plays Glen Whelan as a CB again then we deserve to lose and he deserves all the flack that will come with it.
I think he knows that a win is crucial and may well go for a tighter four at the back.
Come 2pm we will see what matters most … JBs ego and stubbornness to play a three even without the personnel OR a manager that learns from his mistakes and gets us stronger on the back of it.

Poor form, plagued with injuries and up against a bogey team, what could possibly go wrong?

Thomas back Hoole away. No one back from injury. Back 3 or 4? Anyone want to guess the selection? Thomas will come back in at the middle of a 3 would be my guess. Kilgour for Hoole with Gordon tucked in again, Clarke and Anderson as wingbacks. Loft and Collins probably pick themselves up top in this formation at the moment so then just which three play in the middle. Rossiter or Coutts alongside Finley which would then leave Evans or Macca for the attacking centre mid spot.

4-4-2 will always beat the opposition what ever formation they try.
TBF if we went with a back 4 it would be difficult to name them at the moment.

JB prefers 3 4 3. Last night Italy played that formation, England stood in that formation. You have to play a formation that suits your players, and that they are comfortable with.
