v The Dingles (a) - 13/11/2022

[DeeCee]

I've got to watch the game in a pub I rarely use, drinking soft drinks cos I'm back at work at teatime after 42 days off.

Only one result will make it even a reasonable day 😞

COYB!

Absolutely

[Atko's Engine]

Well up for this, Sky day pass bought, England about to win T20, can Rovers make it a perfect day??

My heart is well in charge of my head just now, 2-1 Rovers victory coming up!!

[chaddyrovers]

 

Looks like 4-3-3 formation today. 

Szmodics is out injured

Sometimes you just have to wonder whats going on in JDTs head.

[ItsRoverZ]

Think we need 3 quality additions before we are anywhere near Burnley level, may sound negative but I think Burnley will have a bit to much for us 

3-1 Burnley 

[Paul Mellelieu]

Wow...........

3 at the back it is. Did A. Wharton pick up an injury in midweek?

 

Also clearly JDT has no time for sentimentality as he's benched S. Wharton for Mola - ruthless. 

[islander200]

No A Wharton in the squad even with Szmodic out? He surely must be injured 

Shame S Wharton misses out too

[Darwen Rover 007]

433?? 

[Miker]

Is Pickering injured or dropped? Weird choice to put Mola in but I haven’t seen much of him tbh. 

Like the look of that bench though… can see any of those players come on and score a legendary winner!

[DE.]

I don't understand this. Why would Mola be starting ahead of Pickering, and is this really the right game to start Garrett?

We can win this one but those are two risky decisions. 

[CD_93]

Just getting this out the way for after we come away 3-1 winners.

 

JDT, tactical genius, never in doubt.

[goozburger]

Meanwhile, no Jay Rodriguez for the Dingles. Relived at that because I had a gut feeling he'd get on the scoresheet today.

[Mr. E]

Two youngsters barely with any senior minutes between them starting the biggest game of the season so far...well sink or swim time I suppose.

[BigBar]

Happy he realised that Pickering is too much of a liability at left back against anyone with a bit of pace.

Interesting line up overall. Think I am happy enough tbf.

[only2garners]

Garrett was excellent on Wednesday night. He deserves a start for me.

[islander200]

It will be 5 at the back with Hedges and Brittain playing wing back 

Garrett Trav Morton 

Brererton Gallagher

Looks like he's going to play Brittain and Hedges as inverted WBs again. Mola in for S. Wharton at CB after performing well against West Ham in midweek.

Mola will be centre back .Hedges and Brittain wing backs

Mola was class against West Ham in central defence.

I think it's a back three of Hyam, Ayala, and Mola. Brittain will be at left wing-back, and Hedges at right-wing back, I think.

I'm not averse to having Garrett in there to add some bite to the derby, but he needs to learn from his previous sending off.

Anyway, time to kick back and soak it all up! Come on you Blues!

Rovers can play 2 or 3 different formations with that team. But no Jay Rod for them either 

[Colt Seavers]

I wonder if the Wharton brothers have been a little too excitable in training this week?

[ItsRoverZ]

Mola is a good left wing back ..steady CB and a decent midfielder..CB is his worst position out of the three so I'm surprised he starts at CB
