Could put Pickering or Riberio in at left centre back to give Pratt a breather maybe.

Unless Pratt is knackered of course, we are back to 1 game a week now, and he only played 45 minutes at the weekend.  If we are going to persist with a back 3, I would prefer someone with a future at the club over a left back playing out of position

Normally I would agree but our squad is in absolute pieces. I'd play the few first team players who have not had much game time - Toth, Montgomery, TGH, Pickering, Riberio, De Neve. What's amusing is half of them are left backs, which is also Powell's role.... so we can probably only play one out of Powell, Pickering, Riberio, De Neve?

I guess we could line up something like : 

                                   Toth

           O'Riordan    Atcheson  Pratt

?????              TGH            Montgomery    Powell

                               Henrickson

                       Joseph        Higgins

Could implode, might surprise us. I suspect though Ismael won't go for this sort of thing, and will keep flogging Ohashi, Cantwell, McLoughlin which tbh is a perfectly reasonable thing to do as it's madness to send out the kids. But then again it's madness to take risks on more injuries to our few remaining experienced players.

Maybe switch Dlamini/Doherty/Tyjon (only bothering mentioning Tyjon as he was in the squad at the weekend) for Higgins, and keep the 3-4-2-1 from the weekend?  Higgins then could be an actual striker to use from the bench

16 year old Theo Pitt at right wing back anyone?  unless Dlamini is tried as a wing back?  or Houghton (a right back, older than Pitt but with a lower ceiling) is promoted from the U21s

We will also have the 3 new signings to slot in the side too.

Won't we?

Defenders signings are coming.

I expect to see Toth, Atcheson, O’Riordan, Cashin, Pratt, De Neve, Montgomery, TGH, Henriksson, a new striker and the Academy lads.

I’d be shocked to see Miller, McLoughlin, Sonny, Baradji, Cantwell and O’hashi.

A step in the right direction, our 1st signing of the January window. Cashing a defender, on loan from Brighton. Can we please strengthen our attack now.

I would like to see Doherty in action for Rovers, he got rave reviews when we signed him, and he chips in with goals.

I would love Rovers to lift the FA cup at Wembley, but its not happening at the moment. Our main priority is stay in the Championship. Rest some of our seniors, and try some of the academy players.

Zero interest in this competition..fighting relegation is our main focus/ambition this season....and the next and the next!
