very disappointed Armstrong isn't starting as the main striker today AND Evans being injured

I would expect it to be 4-3-3 with Travis, Downing and Rothwell in midfield 3 with Gallagher on the right, Holtby has the false 9 role and Brereton on the left

Not liking Rothwell playing.

Liability that lad.

 

He could create a spark, we’ve seen glimmers, could be a key player if he finds post lockdown form (The BB effect!).

I know many will view this is as a positive, but I can't help but feel uneasy when seeing the team-sheet doesn't really help with who is going to play where. The 'Jack-of-all-trades', 'do a job' players like Bennett (LB today I think but might swap with Downing in midfield) seem to be Tony's preference. Again, we might assume the front 3 would be the same as last week but that means Rothwell as a holding midfielder? I think Holtby has been shoved back and Rothwell is the new false 9 but I doubt any of us could guess the right set-up.

All I know is that I prefer having goal-scorers up front not on the bench.

bennett at left back is the biggest liability,and has smallwood taken over the mowbray housekeeping,he`s somehow managed to get a place on the bench despite being nowhere all season

I can already picture Benno with his hands aloft, “what you mean ref”, after pulling down their right winger down and conceding a penalty.

Pilkington starts for Wigan. Hopefully he plays with his heart!!

I'm not too surprised by the lineup. Think it'll be Bennett at LB, which is risky but allows Downing to stay in his best position for us.

We'll deffo see a front 3 swap again on 60 mins, or sooner if we're struggling.

Someone told me on twitter that AA had Covid-19, so is a bit behind on fitness.

Won't be in play offs tonight. Must win game just to stay in touch now.

 

Assuming we bring all 5 subs on, the front three plus Johnson are certs.

 

Probably either Mulgrew or Smallwood will get on. Who would have thought it. Ridiculous situation. Unless Mulgrew bangs in a free kick winner.

Nyambe  Tosin Lenihan Bennett
Rothwell Travis Downing

Brereton Holtby Gallagher

Probably right, mine was more a hopeful lineup than one I think we will see.
