Diaz needs to leave Brereton at home tonight.

Buckley dropped for Wharton.

Travis at fullback.

Hyam debut.

Dack behind the front man, not as CF.

For me tonight.

Dolan at wing back and Dack up front?

[RevidgeBlue]

Key thing arising out of the weekend was, Wharton deserves a chance and players should be picked on merit not reputation.

If he gets a start tonight that would signal a massive difference between JDT and Mowbray. If not, not so much so.

The run to the premier league starts tonight, come on Rovers.

Bought my tickets on Monday, the first day they were on open sale. They still haven't arrived.  Any suggestions? The website is pathetically slow so I'm struggling to get a number to ring.

01254 372 000 - the ticket office are usually pretty helpful.

Yeh I managed to find the number. Apparently, because it was a bank holiday they couldn't post them that day, and then there's been a postal strike, so they have to be collected from the ticket office at Bloomfield. She thought the website would have told me, but it did no such thing. Communication from the club pretty poor here.

[rovers11]

We need to stop the rot tonight. I'd take a draw. 

Carter or Travis at RB. I don't think we'll ever see JRC play for us again. 

I also hope to see the end of this false 9 nonsense very soon. Even the top clubs in the word like Man City and Barca are ditching false 9s and getting proper strikers in. What a difference it makes too.

Hear on good info that Ayala is out tonight. Hyam and Phillips at CB. A.Wharton gets a start next to Morton, Trav at RB

Disappointing. I thought he'd get to the end of August before clocking off for the season.

Out injured, on the bench or rested?

Out of the starting 11 makes sense with Hyam coming in as there's no way he'll last playing twice a week but I'd be having him on the bench just in case. That is assuming you don't mean out injured.

Not sure on that, have just been told the info I’ve given, Hedges, Dolan, Dack & Diaz the front 4. 
 

Fingers crossed he’s just being rested as you say.

Travis will make a serviceable stop-gap RB, but we will lack bite in the midfield without him. In an away derby that could be a mistake.

Mind you, last time at Bloomfield we lost the match down our right flank thanks to the pathetic performance of Magloire at RB. I'd be using Carter instead though.

Hope to God this isn't true.

 

Give markandy a run instead of dolan

Yeah i'd be amazed if he plays. Had his right calf strapped up after the match on Saturday. Will be Hyam and Phillips i'd have thought, which I agree with in those circumstances - not worth risking Ayala

Too many games for Phillips.

Id start Carter if Ayala is out and if Ayala fit I'd be putting Carter right back 

[yankfan]

Id guess we line up:

                                      Kamenski

Carter               Ayala           Hyam        Pickering

            Travis                             Morton

                          Hedges

Markanday                                           Diaz

                         Dack

 

Don't particularly like Dack as a false 9 and would rather see BBD through the middle but options are limited. 

                                      

 

[Madon]

                   Kaminski

Travis Phillips Hyam Pickering

           A.Wharton Morton

Hedges.       Dack.          Diaz

                     Dolan

Yep. That would appear to be tonight’s team. 

[G Somerset Rover]

First Brittain, now inevitably Ayala. We just don’t have the squad right now to cope with it. As others have said, I’d have thought Ayala would have struggled through until winter before taking his leave.

[AAK]

Anyone know if they are selling tickets over at Blackpool? Going to make a last minute dash over there, if not I’ll watch in a pub over there!
