Who says Mola is starting at center-back ?

I think its will be 4-3-3 formation with Mola at left back with Hedges on the right side attacking side, Gallagher as number 9 and BBD on the left side

Am I missing something regarding Mola? I understood him to be a centre-back, and while he played there against West Ham and was very good, everybody seems to be putting him at left-back, left wing-back, or midfield. 🤔

You could play 4-3-3 with Mola at LB, but I don't think we've lined up like that all season. Would be strange to do so now. 

We have matched up with their midfield 3 and allow Hedges, Gallagher and BBD to play in their positions

Maybe it's his tackling why he been picked today

Obviously more goes into it but age shouldn't be factor when picking a team but it's what you bring to the team and how we want to play

On the contrary it has to be a factor, as youngsters don't have the experience to always make the correct decisions in difficult situations. Particularly when there's significant pressure involved. That's especially critical in high-emotion games like today. 

JDT clearly trusts Garrett to put him in ahead of Buckley or Dack, so let's see if that faith is repaid. It goes without saying that I hope he's made the right call!

I'm just surprised he's replacing Blackburn born Scott Wharton in such a massive game.

It's where he started midweek. 

That doesn't mean he is starting there today. He may or he may not.

[BankEnd Rover]

Nerves really kicking in now. 
 

We just have to show up! Play like we have some away games and we will get a thrashing.

Come on!!!!

 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Probably as physically strong team we could put out. 

Come on Rovers #DoTheDingles

Yes you are missing something. From what I have seen, Mola has filled in at center-half, he is much stronger on the left side, as a full-back, wing-back or left sided midfielder.

[ben_the_beast]

I'm well nervous 

[Crozzy]

I like Garrett on today, I feel like he’s a player who will be up for this and will get stuck in. Hopefully will make midfield stronger for us

You don't know this could quite easily be 3 at the back with Hedges and Brittain playing wb

He played his best game the other night v West Ham at centre back

[USABlue]

Bit of  a kick in the nuts for the Whartons.  Bit of a gamble with Mola.  Played well but is he really ready for this game

That doesn't make him a center-back, he gets drawn out of position too easily, he leaves gaps in the middle of defence. I would compare Mola to a left sided Nyambe. 

[Angry_Pirate]

Could be one of 3 formations. 

Inverted wing backs with Hedges and Brittain. Travis in a 3.

4 at the back with Mola LB.

Travis RWB? With Hedges further up.

Benson vs Hedges?

Who the F 100% knows.

[bluebruce]

Neither Wharton brother starting in the derby against the dingles? Not so sure about that.

No he didn’t. He had a very decent performance. You’ve been listening to Sparks too much.

His performance getting better as the days go by 😂. Not that decent if Mola and Garrett have forced there way in.

[Miller11]

[BigBar]

A Wharton must be injured. He came off against WH didn't he? He obviously isn't too impressed with Scott W lately as he was benched in the last league game too. Would rather both in tbh but we are here now.

I know what I saw BigBar. Buckley wasn’t our best player on Wednesday but it was a very competent performance.

[davulsukur]

JDT loves to spring surprises on us.

Mola in at, presumably left back. Switches to a back 4 and midfield 3. Garrett starting, assuming because he likes to stick some proper challenges in. 

Dare say not many Rovers fans would have put either player in. 

Let's hope this pays off.

Bricking it now and my kids have just stuck Cbeebies on the bloody telly!!

Edit: Sharpe saying back 3, which makes Wharton's omission even stranger. 

Guessing Hedges at RWB and Brittain LWB.

What are the odds of Garrett getting sent off today? Hope he can keep a cool head.

[simongarnerisgod]

If I was a betting man, that would be my only bet for today.
