Back to play 5 from 9 subs

We all know what Mowbray has said about this game in the media? None of us has any idea what he will say in the dressing room.

We haven't got a striker on the bench...

Good, I prefer to see our strikers on the pitch.

[WacoRover]

I’m looking forward to seeing what this lineup has today; Elliott is on a pace to average a goal/assist a game, he’s fun to watch, BB improving, JR-C is the man who seemingly can play anywhere, etc. 

Get a point today... that would definitely be an improvement over last season.

Decent line up, expect a 3-1 win with Brero scoring again 

Nooooooo, a couple for The Hatters.

We've got a 6'4'' lummox  wide forward on the bench though.

[tonygreenbank]

My FotMob app is saying Elliott Bennett is playing up front with Arma and Brereton! Thank goodness I came on here to check!

Probably doesn't help his mobility.

Iplayer just showed the same, had a right flap on until I checked on here.

Yeh I meant the max we could name, not the max we could use.

Totally in favour of the rule change personally. Intensive schedule, certainly helps us with our playing style, injury woes and the amount of players we could do with taking more of a look at. But I'd probably have been in favour of it without any of that.

The 5th sub should have to be a keeper though IMO.

We've got quite a decent squad now, especially when Dack and Travis are back. Good rule change for us.

[Blue blood]

Strong team, well other than the defence which as ever looks threadbare. Should be more than capable of getting the win. And if we don't it's another blow to our promotion ambitions. We can't afford to fall further behind. But I expect a good result today.

Not convinced by both Johnson and Trybull in the midfield. Too static. Otherwise good team.

[Stonesrick]

Doesn’t appear to be an intensive warm up. No doubt saving ourselves for 3pm. ?

[Atko's Engine]

Good lineup that, probably only 4 players missing from a best 11 (Dack, Travis, Ayala / Williams & possibly Nyambe).

Should have too much today for Luton, but I expect they'll not be push overs. Hopefully their 2 wins last season will breed a bit of over confidence & we can exploit holes in behind.

[matt83]

Luton seem to be everything Rovers are not. Well-coached where everyone knows their jobs. Will be the same on Tuesday as well

[Exiled_Rover]

So if Nyambe is fit enough for the bench, why isn't he starting?

Luck of the draw.

Thank goodness for that. Nearly had a heart attack when I saw Bennett on the Sky app!

That’s about as strong a side as we can put out even with everyone fit. It’s looking like Rothwell will be the player to make way once Dack is fit.

He might be starting midweek. He has injury problems, best not to exacerbate them. 

[Stuart]

Is this “taking the knee” thing going to carry on indefinitely?

[Tugay-is-God]

Feels like ages since the last match.
