v Sheffield United (a) - 20/8/22

[Exiled in Toronto]

Edun and Gallagher coming in doesn’t get the pulse racing. Buckley lucky to still be starting imo, needs a good one today.

[Sweaty Gussets]

After the mid-week mauling, and considering Sheff Utd are strong at home, going to 5 at the back is probably a good shout. 

[BigBar]

Surely Dack has an hour in him.

Dack to start today in my opinion.

Could be 343, 4231 or 433. Hard to say atm...

Has Hedges picked up an injury that I missed?

I think it would go down a storm. If you’d enjoy Mercer’s Wine Club, like this post. If we get 15 likes he will do it. 

We are live!

Yes he has. He is there with the squad but not in the 18 man squad.

We are  rolling the dice big time with our inability to bring in a centre half. The only 'defensive' option on the bench is JRC. It's criminal really and we've known about Wharton's injury for well over a week now.

When I say 5 at the back I mean 2 WB's and 3 CB's - so 5-3-2 or 3-4-3 is same difference. 

If it's 4 at the back it means Edun in midfield.

tight hamstring

[chaddyrovers]

I'm not surprised that JDT has gone 5 at the back. Lets get that clean sheet and with BBD, Gallagher and Szmodics we can get that goal. We got to be solid as rock today

[roversfan99]

Id love to be proven wrong and I think the main blame lies above Tomasson but Edun at wing back and Pickering and Ashley Phillips as centre backs does not scream "solid as a rock!"

Yeah, I think it will be 343 but wouldn't be that shocked if it's 4231 with Edun alongside Travis and  Buckley playing 10, or 433 with Edun on the left of a three in mid.

For actual fucks sake.

So that's Wharton, Barnes, Carter, Markanday and Hedges all injured?

Markanday on bench 

[roversfan99]

Such a patched up side when there is one winger and one main centre back out is quite stark.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

That's a really weak team and an equally weak bench.

 

[davulsukur]

Unsure about Pickering in a back 3 and Edun has never really convinced at full/wing back.

Hoping it works out but we'll see.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Khadra starts for them.  Luckily, according to some  on here, he has no product so an easy afternoon for Pickering.

I think we all know if he's on song, Khadra will terrorise Pickering. Could do with Ayala or Trav letting him know they're there early doors.

Think most people look back at his time here favourably?

If Khadra is playing from the right he will rip Pickering a new one.

No Match Centre.. Is the game not being shown on RoversTV today?

With what’s available I don’t mind that line up IF Brittain and Eden are allowed to and can get forward.
