Really really biting my tongue here - because what the feck do I know about football compared to JDT - but that team has me scratching my head. 

[Rover_in_the_South]

Where's Gally?

[roversfan99]

I dont get Brittain on the left, Travis on the right and Pickering on the bench, nor do I get Vale starting to be honest.

Yep, I'm trying to figure out how we'll line up as well!

[Displaced Rover]

I'll reserve judgment until after we see them in action but feels like a baffling Mowbray style team selection. Maybe injuries/heavy legs forcing his hand?

Feeling less confident than I was earlier!

[davulsukur]

Big game needed from Vale. 

Surely we have a better fullback coming through the ranks, rather than Trav?

[CambridgeRover]

Coventry right back is tin pot, Brittain will hopefully run him ragged. Nit sure why pickering cant do that though

[Darrenbot]

Good team 3-0 win coming up.2 for Vale and 1 for Ayala,If this happens i'm doing the lottery this week

[BigBar]

Took me a sec to work it out...

             Kaminski

Travis Hyam Ayala Wharton Brittain

      Morton Szmodics Wharton

                Vale BBD

Maybe?😬

[1864roverite]

Maybe injuries are dictating tonight’s line up

Because he is too slow

Worryingly I don't think so.

Shoe horning Travis in when Carter is an actual defender. His form has been very poor and he picked up a suspension but seems he is gonna play no matter what.

Did make me wonder if Scott Wharton is maybe playing left back in a back 4

[BigBar]

Seems the likes of Dack and Hirst are well and truly out in the cold whilst JRC and Bucko are at Antarctic levels of the freezing out! 

[Exiled in Toronto]

There’s nothing random about JDT’s selections, just a plan we have to figure out once the game gets going.

Foot injury.

[Miller11]

I don’t rate Pickering all that highly, but on recent form he can feel very hard done by to not be starting. Must be down to resting.

Given the inverted wing back carry on against Sunderland I believe? It's the only thing I can think of...I do think the team is winning games in spite of the selection but I'm still happy at where we are and can't knock that but seems all a bit pick and mix approach

[chaddyrovers]

Interesting to selection. Brittain at left back. Vale replacing Gallagher. Lets hope he can score tonight. Shame Gallagher is injured. Going for 2-1 Rovers with Hyam scoring the winner.

In line with what you expect Tomasson to do.

No, It's what I would do. If you can't accept that my opinion is different on Dack than yours then fair enough, but I'm not going on about this in every match day thread cos I don't pick Dack every time. Far to focus on him every time from Fans.

Why is Hirst not in your squad?

Cos I wanted 2 forwards on the bench and in Dolan and Vale I have that. Dolan can play 4 different positions where its pressing number 9, number 10 or wide on either side

I completely trust jdt. Hes earned it

[Andy]

Confident tonight.

Coventry are poor and have players out tonight.

Got another fiver on S.Wharton to score and Rovers to win - won be £130 the last time I did that!

They’re only poor once you’ve made them poor. Go out thinking like that and we could be heading for a fall.

One booking away from a suspension which ends tonight.
