Luetwiler 

  Nyambe Downing Wharton Williams

Conway Evans Tomlinson Whittingham Bennet

                      Graham

Hull are kinda struggling, we can dominate them in the middle

I would have Smallwood on the bench but otherwise play the strongest side possible.

Really good benchmark of how we would do in the Championship. 

Hull won't be playing full-strength, either, and the underdog is normally more fired up for a cup match than a league match. Cup matches are a poor gauge for how well you'd do in the opposition's league.

How many of their players are on 9 yellow cards?

More interesting would be do we push for an equalizer if a goal behind with 10 minutes left? 

Of course. We could get a money spinning round 4.

5 Rovers changes

Caddis NYAMBE Mulgrew Williams 
Bennett Evans TOMLINSON Conway
            NUTTALL SAMUEL

LEUTWILER Caddis NYAMBE Mulgrew Williams Bennett Evans TOMLINSON Conway NUTTALL SAMUEL

subs: Raya, Hart, Graham, Dack, Downing, Wharton, Travis

The lack of width in our squad is galling. If Bennett or Conway get injured we have nobody to play out wide.

[Gordon Gekko]

Was going to put a bet on us winning today, not anymore after looking at that team.

I get the whole not wanting to get injuries but if your going to start Mulgrew then why not start our in form player Dack, who is absolutely tearing it up at the moment?

[Dunnfc]

Mowbray throwing the game. A disgrace to those going today

[AllRoverAsia]

Mowbray seems happy to chuck the game so why risk Mulgrew if resting our other aces.

Looks like a decent line up. maybe Charlie wants to be out there leading his men!!!

Throwing the game?? Nothing like going over the top is there. If he had put out 6 or 7 of the youth squad I would agree but they are all first team regulars with the exeption of two.

[skous18]

Thats a very good line up if u ask me

[Guest]

Tedious reactions to the lineup every week. Think that's a nicely balanced lineup considering our priorities, and surprised not to see one or two more youngsters in the first XI.

Starting eleven would include Raya, Dack, Downing, Graham. Not Smallwood

 

[Roverthechimp]

Think Mulgrew gets to decide himself (One of reasons he is still here i suspect) but without him on the pitch we would lack any sort of leadership.

Chance for Tomlinson to show what he can do and hope we play Samuel & Nuttall as 2 up front.

Im happy with the team he picked apart from Mulgrew. League and promotion is the main aim

Im at the game.

I'm happy Dack isn't starting he is our only creative outlet at the moment and if he was to get injured I could see us struggling.

Also if Dack did start and had a good game it might lead to more interest from Championship clubs and end up with him leaving the club in this window.

Next weeks game is massive pick up 3 points and we are right in the mix for automatic promotion, lose and a big gap starts to appear

I'd include them all and play our strongest side, we shouldn't piss our pants against Shrewsbury if Smallwood gets suspended. We should have enough about us regardless to worry them

Agreed. Not sure that dropping Raya benefits us but at least it shows that our international “joker” is actually part of the squad.

Aside from that, a decent mix. Hoping that Tomlinson and Nuttall can stand out today.

Hopefully we can give a struggling Hull side a test.

[Boaty]

I see most people on here received football manager for xmas. Don't know how the club would run without such expert fans.

Can't fault your logic re Smallwood.

For the rest there is a full week before Shrewsbury for recovery from any knocks, which are just as common in training anyway.

It seems fashionable now for even lower league teams, which we currently are, to play weakened teams in Cups and pretend that we have a squad capable to do it.

May well be a draw if Hull do the same.

[Commondore]

I don't see the point in resting Raya here, playing against a Championship club is just the kind of experience he needs. I would personally just have kept Mulgrew and Dack from playing, everyone else is replaceable in case of injury.
