Nowt against Nuttall as he’ll feel he’s earned a crack but we’ve just spent £7m on a striker, if our main one isn’t playing then surely you play that lad in his preferred role? 

I’m sure Mowbray wasn’t planning on spending £7m on someone who Nuttall would be in front of 

Probably not the plan, but Nuttall is the one that deserves a chance based on performances (goals). Really hope the Nut does well.

I have a lot against it, he's shite. He scores at u23 level which is a poor standard of football. Them u23 sides get battered off bottom of league 2 opposition in that ldv cup or whatever it's called now. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Horribly defensive side, 9 defensive players plus Dack and Nuttall.

No pressure on Nuttall. Score a hat trick or you're out next game. In fact you're probably out even if you did score a hat trick.

[rovers11]

Hmm not convinced by that line up. Rodwell gets expose too easily as a defender.

[AdamRochina]

Disgusted with that line up tbh

If Brereton needs a spell in the U23s then in the short term it’s an obvious swap.

But Nuttall has been playing with the under 23s whilst Brereton hasn’t been

Again not against that but it should have happened before now but I wonder if it couldn’t happen when he wasn’t our player 

[Tom Stinny]

If we win fair enough but you only need to take Dack and Reed out of that team to genuinely question throwing the game. Terrible attitude towards travelling fans.

You might have a point.

A “not in the first team” penalty clause sounds like something you’d put in a loan agreement.

Edit: I’m working in the premise that a last minute loan deal ended up being fairly standard T&Cs.

After the recent run this is a game we should be aiming to win.

[Ossydave]

What an odd line up, look forward to his explanation on this one

[Bbrovers2288]

Was looking forward to this game being on sky until I saw the lineup.....

[G Somerset Rover]

Almost as if blingy has stressed the importance of a cup run...

In fairness, given that mid-table is looking pretty nailed on, this is one of those occasions when I wouldn't mind increased priority on a cup-run.

Out of the two games Id rather win Tuesday and progress but it is a strange side.

I dont think TM will consider it a weak side as such, I think it's just his ultra cautious nature kicking in.

[Roboftherovers82]

if the main man danny is not going to play why hasn’t Brereton been picked i am all for giving the young lads a chance but why have we spent 7m for him to sit on the bench i dnt get this at all 

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Fine with the line up other than Nuttall. Not up to this level. I’m ready to be proven wrong.

[Roverthechimp]

Actually happy (ish) that Nuttall has, rightly imo, moved up the pecking order based on merit (even if u23)

Also not the first time BB has been omitted when DG doesn't start

[SBlue]

“Our young players need to see that there is progression to the first team on merit Mowbray is a wanker I feel sorry for players like Travis because I think he will drop him”

*Travis starts*

*Nuttall starts*

”I cant believe he’s starting a League 2 standard striker, he’s a lot of explaining to do”

 

Some of you lot crack me up.

If Rodwell gets injured, (which is quite likely) who goes in at CB,... Graham ?

Agree and to be honest as bad as brereton has been I honestly think nuttall is worse.

Delighted Butterworth got on the bench. He would start over nuttall for me.

I'm not sure how Bennett is getting in before nyambe at right back. I love benno but he isn't the better of the two in that position

Juries out on Nuttall for me. Last time out he seemed like he was physical with a knack for a goal, but severely lacking in the all round game needed to be a starter at this level. 

Had a huge amount to work on, even if he had some raw attributes to work with. Let's see if he's managed it. 

[Ossydave]

Well he's not give much away in that interview apart from bemoaning injuries in defence and Graham being 33. Favouring nuttalls apparent mobility, we'll see

I’d imagine Nyambe from the bench. Far from ideal. As an aside, he’s bemoaning injuries to CB but why not have Grayson or Platt on the bench instead of Butterworth when we already have Graham and Brereton as options?

TM just said on SS that Downing couldn’t be considered (effectively). Must have agreed a deal despite travelling then.
