He has done outstandingly well surely? Way better than competent imo.

His distribution has been shocking and he's let in some howlers.

I think he's a good Championship GK.

4-3-3 today? 

I hope Gallagher plays as a number 9 striker still

 

I reckon it's 4-2-3-1, which is what he's wanted to play all season, but hasn't had the players to.

jdt is a massive upgrade over moggadon,he does tinker like him though

4-2-1-3 ? Two centre halves on the bench ? What’s happened to Hirst and Buckley ?

I assume they're not pulling up any trees in the U21s or in training so he's not picking them.

 buckley is in a massive loss of form and hirst is ****,there is no way either of them could be included

Could be this. Also could be something really weird like 343 with Pickering at LCB.

Have to say I don't understand at all why we are changing away from a formation that has won three games on the spin to one which has decidedly not (whether 343, 433 or 4231)

I guess he doesn't feel that Carter or Travis offer enough as a RWB to persist with the 3-5-2?

He picks a team to win a game different to tinker man Mowbray who didn’t have a bloody clue at times 😅

Anyhow currently cruising up the Danube and hoping for a Rovers win

Is that a euphemism

[moerpho]

Maybe it’s just my early afternoon buzz, but I think JDT is superior to Mowbray when it comes to thinkering….in that JDT is more sensible. Don’t mind this squad at all and has enough quality to beat Hull despite Travis at right back.
 

Also good to see Garret and Carter on the bench. Well deserved if you ask me - rather than having out-of-form Buckly or Hirst there (remember Mowbray?). Makes me hopeful for the future despite the world burning and the World Cup right before christmas.

Now - 20 mins until kick-off and in a couple of hours I’ll hopefully be slightly drunk and very happy after a delightful win against Hull. COYB!!

The weak link in this team is Travis. In all honesty he’s been probably the weak link even when he’s played in the middle. 

He need stripping of his captaincy because that’s the only thing starting him in this 11.

No ifs, no buts, fully expect 3 points today.

At a shade over 2/1 for Rovers' win, good money to be earned.

No surprise about Hirst and Buckley not even making the bench.

[Oldgregg86]

That’s our line up on live score.

jesus whose playing where because that’s not right lol

[West Yorks Rover]

Tough game this, Hull in decent form under caretaker manager, could be his last game today, replacement

lined up. Players will be wanting to impress new guy.

Dack didn’t get on the team bus this afternoon, reasonably confident he’s not in the squad again tomorrow. 

Well he got off it in Hull.

[Oldgregg86]

Good to see Brad and Dillan on the bench. Buckley needs to get back to his best soon. Was brilliant in patches last season and would be a shame to see him get wasted

Assuming it's a 4-2-3-1 today it's no surprise he's opted for Wharton and Morton as the 2 over Travis - he's not QUITE a good enough footballer to play there in that system when you're flying and looking to dominate games.

In a midfield 3 he provides much needed energy and steel though. 

I think he's fine at RB, btw, especially if we get on the front foot.

cmon rovers get into em

[moerpho]

Looks like 4-3-3

According to Radio Lancs and Mark Atkins Rovers have lined up that way with Gallagher as the 9, BBD left, Dolan right and Szmodics as number 10

Gives JDT the option to switch to 3 at the back second half. 

Rovers are working on Hirst fitness as JDT said at the start of week due to no pre season games at Leicester. Buckley out of favour at the minute 

[ItsRoverZ]

How have we started today?

[RoversClitheroe]

Szmodics really isn't great

[Tugay-is-God]

Two very tidy passes from Wharton to Scmodicz and BB almost setting them both through. 

Wouldn't expect anything less from him at this point though.
