With JDT confirming that Adam Wharton will play at West Ham (so, given how he's managed him so far, he probably won't start on Sunday), I'd also go with exactly that. Otherwise I may have been tempted to stick Wharton in. Albeit not sure at the expense of who as Hedges has to start for me, he's a really intelligent player, and with Brittain and Pickering at wing back (agree that they should play on their correct sides, no need to overcomplicate it) Hedges' spot will be further forward.

they have 4 weeks rest from sunday so no reason to not play anyone

Don't comment very often, but enjoy the ride most fans would admit they would not expect us to be 2nd at this point of the season ( New manager, Young player's ). But fans are so negative complain about everything, always can do better !!

Expecting abuse, but look at where we are and are progressing in all areas.

I had someone behind me today moaning "yes i know we keep winning but its not great to watch" no pleasing some folk

My team and I have included Brittain, Hedges and Szmodics in my 18 match day squad. 

                           Kaminski 

                   Hyam  Ayala  S.Wharton

  Hedges Szmodics Travis Morton Brittain

                   Gallagher Brereton-Diaz

Subs:- Pears, Carter, Pickering, A.Wharton, Vale, Hirst, Dolan

have you seen hirst recently would be no where near the squad unless he can drive the bus.

not sure who writes the rovers web site but i wonder if they actually watch the games i am sure that Carter started the game and Phillips replaced hedges

One aspect I would criticise Tomasson for is at defensive corners when he has everyone back in our penalty area. I understand the likes of Gallagher and Brereton being there but when they went off we had Dolan picking up a Brum player. Surely he would have been more useful higher up the pitch occupying a couple of defenders and giving us a real chance to counter or at least an outlet to hold the ball up whilst we get further up the pitch.

I can never understand not putting Dolan on the half way line at corners especially yesterday when the keeper came up that way he marks 2 players outside the box and give you an out ball .

Hirst isn't good enough for our 21s...why is he here.?

I thought he looked like an out of their depth trialist today.

No complaints about the referee either. I wonder if that's because we won 3-0.

apart from missing the sending off for the penalty

dont know if its be said on here but why was the defender not sent off for the penalty the laws states

DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY (DOGSO)

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling,
pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.

they are playing like they met on the bus on the way down .Hirst looks like an extra from plebs and plays like one

will Diaz play he never did under TM after an international break

i hope C4 are not covering the world cup we have not won since they took over covering the games

good first half it will be interesting to see which blackburn comes out for the second half

I am starting to think opposition sides are starting to work out if you let us have the ball we will give it back after passing it around the back , and we will be out of position and open to counter attacks

I rather leave Scott Wharton for another week and ready for Wigan game. 

I don't think Szmodics can be in squad cos of concession protocol

is that something to do with his bus pass

i don`t believe any of it,i was right behind the goals at sheff utd warming up last  week,there was`nt much interaction between the two,thomas looked  ****** off as benson could`nt even cross the ball properly for him to catch it,he had to get a young lad from the bench to do it

what gives benson the right to coach a highly skilled professional goalkeeper when he himself has`nt even played football to any level,can i go on a building site and start telling bricklayers how to lay a course straight,no i can`t because iv`e never done it,only use for benson is to write down the subs and wave to the ref,either that or join lowe in putting the cones and bibs out

Lawrence McMenemy  coached at a high level and never played, it does not follow that if you played at a high level you are a good coach plenty of examples of great players but could not coach

You can't because the 8.3 is shots per game, not shots per goal. 

but it also says shots on target per goal which is the best like i said you can make statistics fit your narative
