Bigdoggsteel Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Not sure if there is a taker for this, so I will get the ball rolling. P Must win if we have any aspirations of knocking around the play-offs. From last weekend the following players were carrying knocks -Lenihan, Dack, Graham, Travis and Evans. Does anyone have an update on this? We could do with them being fit, although perhaps a shake up wouldn't be the worst call. Not an easy team to pick this week, with a couple of main bones of contention. Bennett or Nyambe, Mulgrew or Rodwell. Raya Nyambe Lenihan(c) Rodwell Bell Travis Reed Rothwell Dack Armstrong Brereton Come on Ben, make a name for yourself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, but will he? Has it been confirmed if Nyambe was injured, or just left out of the squad due to missing out? Bit harsh if so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh if so Mowbray said after the Hull game that it was his decision not to put Nyambe in the squad, so I would assume that it was the same on Saturday.

Do ye remember Oxfords last year? You needed sunglasses to look at it Anyway, do they not just have a regular match thread? Pages of discussion about who is going to the game, but little discussion of the actual game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyrovers Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Team selection will depend whether Graham, Travis, and Evans are fit. I think Travis will fit. Graham fit enough for Bench. My team is Raya Nyambe Rodwell Mulgrew Bell Reed Travis Armstrong Dack Bennett Brereton Subs:- Luetwiler Williams Smallwood Rothwell Conway Graham Nuttall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Is Lenihan injured or out of favour ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversfan99 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Raya Nyambe Rodwell Mulgrew Williams Travis Evans Reed Dack Armstrong Graham Plenty of ifs and buts with that team. If Evans is injured, Smallwood in. If Travis is injured, Bennett in wide with Reed inside. If either of the front 2 is injured, Rothwell wide, Armstrong moved inside. Hopefully at least one of them are fit, especially with Chapman out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Going to be a difficult game for us. I expect our lads to bounce back after licking their wounds and scrape a 2-1 win. I'd have Nyambe back and start Ben B up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevidgeBlue Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Be nice to see Kasey Palmer get 90 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mk2 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The immutable law of the ex. Palmer will score, there's no doubt about that. Travis's poor showing at Brentford will see the inevitable return of Smallwood. Bennett's poor showing at Brentford will see him retain his place somewhere. Hoping for a bounce-back but Brizzle are a decent side with a good manager and he will have noted how Brentford took our soft defence apart.

Surely its illogical to leave out our (IMO) best player of the season, someone who scored again last week, in such an important game for a player yet to score for us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy3333 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 They've only sold about 800 tickets. Tinpot. We need to win this to keep up hopes of the play-offs. 2-1 Rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have 3 games in 9 days. And Graham was injured on Saturday. He has to be 100% fit to start. The last thing we need is he out for month or 2 by rushing him to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he isnt fit id play Rothwell left and Armstrong with Dack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
