as you have perfectly illustrated, not much room for manouevre with the squad we have. Bench very weak.....anyone know why Akpom didn't make squad yesterday ?

I'd give Knocky a rest, and start with March and Murphy

Like all of the loan strikers we have had jn recent years (bar Murray) he is maybe just a little bit shit?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Norwood's name. A big part of our problem yesterday (aside from some terrible individual performances) was that Forest played deep, negating Baldock, Knocky and Murphy/March. This put a lot of pressure on Stephens to make something happen and Stephens had a rare stinker. I don't expect Rotherham to set up much differently.

For the same reason it might be one for Murray/ Hemed up front if there isn't going to be much space behind their back 4.

I can see no great advantage in starting Kayal and if it is considered that Sidwell or Stephens need a rest the best answer at the moment is surely Norwood with Beram on the bench.

Without putting a player down, what will Salak offering over Murphy or March. Please do not say dead ball delivery!
Does not beat his man, nor run at defenders.

must have got it in training, he hasn't been on the pitch very much !!
News from Rotherham that they lost three players through injury yesterday.....let's hope they have as bad back-up players as us !!!

Given forest had a make shift centre back pairing essentially 4th and 5th choice I'm not sure that is a given...

Forest's sitting deep only started when they went ahead. When that happens, Baldock is of less use, and Norwood is, because he is the best passer of the ball in our squad, as he ably demonstrated on Saturday. Given this, and the fact that Rotherham will no doubt be in defensive mode, I think he should start against Rotherham.

I think they sat deeper once they went ahead but even in the first half their fullbacks had been reminded of their defensive responsibilities negating one area we regularly look to exploit.

I'm surprised Skalak can't get in the team for games like that.
