Same starting lineup if they are all fit ..otherwise maybe Dicker for Hammo ..Rovers seem to b a physical side and that Rhodes chap seems good ..shud b an interesting game

 

[Sheebo]

I think people r overlooking Crofts. Crofty in for Hammond I think..

Poyet has said Ulloa is knackered, that's my only reason for leaving him out.

Crofts hasn't been involved in the 20 man match day squad for quite some time, where as JFC and Solomon March have, would expect to see Crofts leave on a loan spell shortly

Kuszczak

Bruno~El-Abd~Upson~Bridge

Bridcutt

Spanish Dave~Vicente~Lualua

Hoskins~Ulloa​

Bruno and Spanish Dave are a perfect combination on the right, Bruno attacks and Dave covers him and vice versa. Bridcutt and Dave can shield the back four pretty well so we can lose Hammond in the centre (especially at home) and replace with Vicente. I quite like the idea of Dave and Vicente playing close to one another, they'd be on a similar wavelength. With Bridge at left back it allows a player like Lualua the freedom not to have to work back too often. Hoskins looks like the most natural finisher we have although we'll miss CMS's defensive qualities (he closes well down from the front and denies the cb's time to pick a pass). Ulloa is the fulcrum for the attack, hit it in to him high or low and he has the strength to hold it for Hoskins, Vicente, Dave and Kaz to run on to.

Time for us to make the running at home. Also Buckley is a terrific impact sub.

 

[Wilko]

Same starting line up but Dicker for Hammond for me.

Isn't he injured?

Anyone for Hammond!

 

[RM-Taylor]

Isn't he injured?

Not been reported anywhere that he is. Just out of favour

I thought I read that he was injured a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything since. He may well be fit now, but out of favour which was why I asked.
