One change, Dolan out Clarkson in for his debut

No idea what the formation is 

4-3-3, Buckley false 9. Brereton and Gallagher on the wings. I’m going to stop commenting on football, I’m totally bewildered. 

[BlueBro]

Maybe 4, 2, 3 1. Travis and Clarkson as the 2, Rothwell buckley and brereton, behind Gallagher?

This cannot happen.

If that happens that you will be held personally responsible J*B, nightmare fuel

[roversfan99]

Formation could be Buckley as a false 9 or as a wing back, both would be equally illogical.

I would go Rothwell left, Brereton right, Gallagher central.

Credit to Dolan for his effort over the past few games, playing out of position and putting in a shift.

[OsloRover]

I see 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 2 attackers...

Could it be a 4-4-2, noo surely too simple for Tony?

[bboy]

I'm going 5 at back and Buckley rb

[Gordon Gekko]

If he plays Buckley as number 9 and Gallagher on the wing I’m going to jump out the window 

[simongarnerisgod]

3 at the back and 2 wing backs shirley,no way would i play clarkson and buckley together though,both similar lightweights

[Dreyski]

BBC has 4-2-3-1

Kaminski

Pickering, Ayala, Lenihan, Carter

Travis Rothwell

Buckley, Clarkson, Brereton Diaz

Gallagher

 

I'm not sure whether Rothwell and Clarkson in the right places myself.

[Tom]

I personally wouldn’t play Buckley as a false 9 but will refrain from commenting further as it could be a master stroke.

Too often have I spat my dummy out over a team selection and been made to look daft. 
 

Tough tough game but I’m going for a battling 2-2

[matt83]

It’s been a great and frankly surprising start to the season. Beaten 2 sides who I imagine will be near the bottom with rovers but history has shown the better we do the more confident moggadon is with experimenting with tactics and formations (although I appreciate he claims he’s not bothered by either) which I believe in no small part contributes to the death spirals. When they line up today I feel there’s something mental in the pipeline formation wise.  

[Dreyski]

That subs bench 😮- is Chapman the oldest there?

BBC is normally all over the place with positions of players, last week against Millwall they had Rothwell at centre back. 
 

I really hope it’s 

Kaminski 

rwb: Buckley

cb: Lenihan, Carter, Ayala

lwb: Pickering

cm: clarkson, Travis, Rothwell

st: Gally, Diaz

5-3-2.

play direct and use gally and Diaz’s physicality.

As good as Buckley is I don’t think it’s wise to play him in two positions

[OsloRover]

The video stream graphic has the team down as 4-2-3-1, Gally up top with Clarkson behind him. Buckley right midfield, BBD left.

[CambridgeRover]

Would rather have Chapman on the right, especially after his cameo againts notts forest

[Fraserkirky]

Clarkson will be deeper than Rothwell if its 4-2-3-1

 

It might just be 4-3-3 with Rothwell wide left and Breo through the middle.

The video stream graphic has been wrong almost every time I have watched it, lol

My guess is Mowbray will try and Match WBAs formation and go with 3 at the back, meaning Buckley as a wing back and Rothwell pushed forward alongside Gally and Diaz in a 3-4-3, or alternatively 3-5-2 and try and pack the midfield

[OldEwoodBlue]

Oh my the Jack Walker looks completely empty. £32 will do it. 

[Fraserkirky]

Looks a decent crowd considering price

Edited August 21, 2021 by Fraserkirky

[OldEwoodBlue]

Hang on... the BBE is 50% empty.

Wonder what Steve thinks about his pricing structure.

[RTM08]

We are going to get absolutely smashed

[Tom]

It’s not often a team scores in the first minute and you can say it’s been coming
