I'd give Townsend, Rothwell and Watkins there first starts, rest Sam after that knock on Saturday and give the likes of Templeton a chance to impress from the bench. I'd also like to see G.Williams given a go on the wing as he is good at going forward. Really not sure what to do about the RB position. Is it 7 subs allowed? GK: Townsend RB: Mawson CB: Roberts CB: Nyatanga LB: Smith RM: Williams CM: Rothwell CM Scowen LM: Crowley ST: Watkins ST: Wilkinson Davies Cowgill Templeton Hourihane Digby Pearson Maris
If we're going to play 3-5-2 this season we need as much practise playing at as possible. Hourihane needs more game time. Give Digby a shot at the holding role. Davies Williams Roberts Mawson Nyatanga Smith Digby Rothwell Hourihane Wilkinson Watkins
The club would have only been told today if any of the loan players are cup tied. The squad tomorrow includes Bree, Holgate and George Williams so clearly LJ is going to play three right backs to compensate for the weekend (ha ha). Joking aside I like your team with the exception of Hourihane he will play Pearson now that he has probably had a rocket up his asre after Saturday
I'd go for that. That midfield three probably needs game time more so than Scowen does, and Pearson was anonymous on Saturday. I'm not really bothered if we go out, so I'd like to see us giving Templeton and Maris a decent run out too.
