One missing supporter from Saturday will be there. Me. I'm a STH who couldn't get excited enough to face a three hour round trip to watch us play Rochdale in the cup.

Changes? Yes, Garrett back in at left back. He's the only left back we've got and if he's not going to play there's no point in him being at the club.
I would also expect Copps to play if he's fit.
Personally, I would play Mandeville instead of May.

Have we got any other players to change it more than that??

A draw wouldn't be a disaster

Agree with you on all three changes. Garrett, Copps and Mandy in for either Blair/kongola, Beestin & May.
Put Mason back to RB which is his position. Either Blair or Kongola on the right of the diamond, Copps in the hole and Mandy op front.

Very difficult to leave Kongola out after Saturday as he was excellent.

Reading the Plymouth forum, it is reported on there that along with Wigan and Bolton, we are interested in their tall centre half Sonny Bradley.
Unlikely I think, but what do I know.

Sounds like his agents doing that one!

That would put Wright further back in the queue.
Can’t see him wanting to stay in it happened.

Wright is our best centre half.

Wright is our best centre half.

He can’t get in the team though so maybe our manager has a different view of that.

I think he and Baudry have been rotated a bit with the number of games but say this was the playoff final i'd hope Wright would be starting!

Butler is undroppable at the moment and highly so he's been the best defender/leader this season

drfchound · « **Reply #37 on** January 10, 2018, 08:20:11 am by drfchound »

I think it is just that DF prefers Butler and Baudry to Butler and Wright when he plays as a flat back four.

Will Whiteman be a new signing in time for this game.

How long before a game does the team sheet has to be handed to the referee?

selby · « **Reply #40 on** January 10, 2018, 07:58:31 pm by selby »

The team sheet is I think 1hr, but I think a player has to be registered at least 24hrs prior to a game, but I would not put money on it.

I thought it was up to noon for a 3pm game - am sure we have signed loanees straight into the team on the same day before.

RoversAlias · « **Reply #42 on** January 10, 2018, 08:34:10 pm by RoversAlias »

I remember we did that with JET, was an exciting day!

I am unsure on the rules but a few days ago Sam Allardyce was discussing whether or not he'd get Cenk Tosun cleared in time to play at Anfield on Friday night. I believe he did say they had until noon on the day to complete it, but it may have been noon the day before. That was a night game also.

Did we not sign Emile Sinclair on the day of the game and barely anybody knew about it?

Play like we did on Saturday and we will get a good hammering, play like we can and we can win it but they are on fire at min, 8 since a defeat

That's the one I remember but forgot his name..

Was a forgettable performance too, wasn't it?

We also signed Jason Shackell on loan on the morning of a game

Vicar we did play well ( imo )
Against a packed Rochdale defence and the ref playing for them 2nd half 4 clear cut chances missed and 4 penalty shouts.
We hammered them 2nd half. Rowe was on fire they couldn’t handle him.
If we had scored 2 goals you would not have made that comment. If we had scored 3 or more goals you would have said brilliant performance. Goals Goals Goals make all the difference.

Well,I thought Kongolo and Blair worked well on the right so I wouldn't disrupt that.

If we bring Garrett in on the left, as he finished the game then there's no place for Mason.

I would hope Copps is fit enough to start leaving a decision to be made between May, Beestin or Mandeville. Given Mandy's goals in the development game, he might get the nod.

Then of course there's the unknown with Whiteman. If he signs would you play him?

Campsall rover · « **Reply #49 on** January 11, 2018, 01:45:38 pm by Campsall rover »

Well he has signed now. So yes you have to play him as he has goals in him. That is what we need.
Tough decisions, but against Plymouth I would have Baudry, Blair and Kongolo on the bench and play Mason at right back and Garrett at Left back. With Wright partnering Butler at centre back and Copps in the hole with Mandeville up front with Marquis.
We will need Wright’s height against Plymouth.
Although I am not a fan of the system i would also not be completely against a back 3 and 2 wing backs as it might suit against Plymouth’s direct approach.

DonnyBazR0ver · « **Reply #50 on** January 11, 2018, 03:21:22 pm by DonnyBazR0ver »

I can see your thinking.

Sod it, play Whiteman up front with Marquis

Lawlor

Butler
Baudry
Blair
Garrett

Houghton
Kongolo
Rowe
Copps

Whiteman
Marquis

I'd disagree. Completely unforgettable. Unforgettably shite, though.

I think if our erstwhile "friend" is not in goal we may be less distracted - no matter who they have there

They have been doing well but we should have some kind of "bounce" after the weeks news and despite the result last week

The Ref however does not score well on previous visits and last time scored only 0.7 from a lot of votes but and its a big but that is 10 times HIGHER than the Ref last week got - so we need to take him out of the equaition and not end up thinking he has cost us any Points

Hound he has been on the bench probably on all, or very near all the matches, he has travelled all over the country sight seeing, it would have cost a fortune with Sheerings.

.... AND he would have had to make his own way to Woodall Services to catch the Coach !

Andy Haines ref today.
If my memory serves me correctly he is dreadful.

As I said Woolmer was a good ref before the game last week, let’s hope this has the reverse effect today and he is brilliant.
Sends 2 Plymouth players off and we get given at least 2 penalties.
4-0 to Rovers.

Well we can all dream can’t we.
I think it will be very a very tight match & will be over the moon with 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 etc.
