Apart from the 10 at the beginning of last season where he had to play second fiddle to Bennett.

He was injured for plenty of those, no? 

In any case, I'd be astonished if this is down to anything other than being cautious about his fitness. Not saying it's the right call either, but very much doubt it's just him being dropped.

If I was Nyambe I’d be slapping in an immediate transfer request, never mind signing a new deal.

Maybe hes turned down a new deal

That bench, Jesus. And some think we don’t need a forward?!

[DE.]

Would have given Davenport a start over Johnson. If he isn't even trusted to start at home to Wycombe when will his time come? I guess when either or both of Holtby & Johnson get injured. 

Our bench certainly highlights a lack of squad depth. Not many (any?) game changers there. Chapman at a push.

what does davenport have to do to start???,nyambe dropped and the two muppets bell and williams included as well,mowbray never fails to annoy me

Change his name by deedpoll to Bennett.

In the LT article about his team selection against Newcastle, Mowbray said he wasn't going to protect any player from getting injured.

No. He was on the bench for all of them (bar one which Mowbray claimed was tactical). Mowbray preferred Bennett at the start of last season.

First thing that stood out to me.

Let's hope we don't need a goal come the last 15 mins.

I mind this less. If it was Bennett it can only be favouritism. 

Nyambe should be starting every game he is fit. Let’s not try to soften it up with “at least it’s not Bennett”.

Something very wrong here.

I just don't buy the minor knock thing and then have him on the bench. If JRC is injured in the warm up Nyambe would have to start. Unfortunately for Nyambe he seems to be Mowbrays patsy.

Yes. That would be Mowbray's way.

I can see that entire midfield being pulled off at some point.

Mogga just loves to put his cock on the block with regards to his team selections. 

No idea how this will pan out. As said before, this is a game we typically screw up, so not expecting a win.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Nyambe picks up a lot of niggles - be very surprised if he isn't being rested rather than dropped.

That comment and then Nyambe on the bench suggests it isn't a fitness thing.

Mowbray just can't fucking help himself can he? As soon as we start to feel optimistic about recent signings, he has to go full Mowbray again and remind us he can't be relied on to steer the ship tactically for the season. There better be an explanation for this after the game, and it better be that Nyambe is a little tired so we are being cautious. Though you have to question why he is on the bench in that case.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

That team sheet is an uninspiring sight. If I was a Wycombe player I'd be fancying this today.

[Miker]

Also find it strange that Nyambe has been dropped, hopefully Mowbray is asked about it after the game.

Great to see Dolan get a 2nd start in a row... hoping to see a goal from him today. Brereton also needs to prove something today, preferably by scoring!

Very attacking lineup today - with Travis & Evans out, it looks like we are in desperate need of another CM. I think a midfield 3 of Holtby, Johnson and Rothwell will be able to handle Wycombe, but against better teams that is nowhere near enough defensive cover. 

[roversfan99]

Stupid decision to drop Nyambe.

That team is not particularly strong, who is going to score bar Armstrong?

Must win today.

Johnson is needed for his height in what is a relatively small team - hence I would have him rather than Davenport.

Well what you do in your spare time is your business.

Nyambe trained yesterday.

[Paul Mani]

Relax fellas, let’s await the reason why before we judge the Nyambe decision...

And you know he didn't complain post Training of a niggle or minor injury ?

He can't sub them all, Brereton usually gets the sheppards crook at around 60 minutes.

So you don't think they'll all be substituted during the match, do you?
