Townsend Wabara Roberts Nyatanga Smith Pearson Isgrove Scowen Harris Winnall Smith Subs: reserve keeper - Walton?, Bree, Mawson, White, Maris, Jackson, Wilkinson I'm assuming Davies, Hourihane and Watkins are all still injured. Roberts preferred to Mawson for long throw and we need to get the ball in the box as often as possible...
Thought Jackson looked decent in his one start, only to be dropped straight back to the bench for the following match. Just thought Winnall's goal record meant he had to play.
Yeah, dropping Winnall isn't something that I'm a fan of but he's not looked up to his usual standards the last couple of games (I'm aware that that's mainly due to Lee playing him in a system that doesn't suit him). I just think that Jackson looked good and I can definitely see something in Smith. I think the pair of them might link up nicely together with Sam being an impact sub.
Reading the comments of LJ on the back of the Chronicle he contradicted himself about them. Mentioned maybe having to risk them due to the current situation and hope they don't get more injured. Then abit later on about not rushing them back. Something like that anyway.
I'd drop Wabara for Bree. After a few promising displays about a month back he's been shocking lately, crossing is appalling. I'd be tempted to drop Mawson because he's been garbage of late but Roberts had a shocker last weekend too. I'd pick Harris due to a lack of options out wide but there's more chance of the goalkeeper getting an assist than Harris with the standard of his crossing
