Downing is starting at left back by the looks of it.

[OldEwoodBlue]

According to Sharpe

Nyambe (hamstring), Holtby & Williams (both knocks) miss out and join Cunningham, Dack & Evans on the sidelines.

Jeez, what were we doing in training between the last match and today? MMA?

Gallagher and Bennett is possibly the worst right hand side in the division. Just hope Gallagher is next to Graham.

Problem is, the alternative is that Buckley is wide, on one flank or the other...

Whoops so he is lol! Cheers!

Buckley needs to score 2 and assist the 3rd for DG.

That place is up for grabs for the next year.

Travis is 1st choice centre mid player

He is,but I think everyone expected more. Hes not even in the conversation on best young players in the division

So that's a nice starting line up. Davenport and Chapman on the bench too.

Tosin back. I hope those that were claiming to be IDK on here go back and have a chat with their "sources". Its as Mowbray said,he's back for the Huddersfield game. 

Plus I was bang on with 5 changes!

Yep you’re right ? Rovers official who told me obviously read it wrong, that’s life, you can’t beat a good rumour, makes the world go round.

I reckon its 4-4-2 with Gallagher and Graham up top. 

Sharpe predicted something similar to the above last week and he was wrong. 

I would prefer the above. I dont want Buckley on the wing 

[Miller11]

Pretty happy with that line up considering the injuries we have. I’m a big proponent of 4-4-2 but I think with our two most natural wingers having to fill in at full back we are better off going 4-2-3-1. I’d really like to see Buckley get a run of games in the ‘Dack role’.

Read it wrong,  that's a nice way to put it

Indeed,  many sports journalists would be out of the job without them!

I also read it as most likely being 4-4-2

Just the 5 changes today. I make that 25 of them in 4 matches.

Oh look Bennets in at RB again.

What's up with Nyambie ?  That lad isn't made of glass.

Probably pick the knock up in the last game

Unlikely with Holtby as he did an interview afterwards and there was absolutely no mention of a knock.

The guy is constantly sharing Instagram stories of him in ice baths and boots - I would imagine he is one who cannot play two games in quick succession. Another reason why he’s with us.

Always going to happen when we pick up injuries and so many fixtures in a short of period of time. That's why so many manager are complaining. That's why we have a squad of players

Ya ,I thought the same,but I'd say he is delicate enough at this stage. Wouldn't take much

Not so long ago teams would just get on with it without all the tiredness and moaning, and we used to have colder winters.

His hamstring seems to be.

Well that is where Sports Science has come into the game and the game is more professional than ever
