Tuesdays game and our squad

[Ryaldinhio]

Looking to Tuesdays game and wondering if GM will stick with his preffered 11 or make big changes to give the other lads minutes and create that competition. All those that didnt start yesterday will be chomping at the bit to be part of the first team so will be desperate for a chance to perform.

Lawlor
Nixon
Olowu
McGrath
Senior
Westbrook
Clifton 
Kelly
Close
SSB
Yeboah
Sbarra
Sharp

Not saying these will all start but look at some of the players there that didn't get in our first team......what a squad we have. We could literally play 2 x 11s to compete with any team in L2.

[Nudga]

My team.

Teddy

Sterry
Olowu
Anderson
Senior

Bailey
Clifton

Molly
Sbarra
Gibson

Ironside

Don't change it too much as you want to keep some continuity. 
Woody goes out as you don't want him playing Saturday/Tuesday.

If they all start I reckon we'd be favourites.

The tried and trusted 4-4-4 for formation effortlessly falling into 4-5-3 out of possession

I’d go with something like this. 3/4 changes max, let’s keep the momentum going and let the relationships develop. Hopefully get some decent game time for the subs with the game going our way.

I did put 11 to start then added Close and SSB 

[IDM]

I’d be tempted to give most of the players who didn’t start yesterday a game - swap with some of the starters yesterday in good time if he wants continuity or if we’re not ahead?

[Petche]

As good as we were yesterday I still have a niggling worry about the centre back situation. I would give Olowu and McGrath some game time.

[Campsall rover]

Surely Senior starts at left back.
Nixon played there when Maxwell went off because Senior wasn’t on the bench.
Nixon is a right back not a left back. Round pegs in round holes is preferable.

[RobTheRover]

McGrath and Olowu offer us a lot more pace. Not sure that's a necessity against Salford.

[RoversInSpain]

Hope we stick to a very similar 11, first half yesterday didn’t quite click, second half definitely did, so an opportunity to really embed the way we want to play (after all it’s early season).
We then make changes at 65 mins to again embed the subs role in an overall game plan.
An we get some prize money for TB.

[drfchound]

We should be trying to go a long way in the Carabao Cup, for the money as well as the prestige.
We owe Terry plenty.

[Arsenal Of The North]

I would guess he will stick with a similar team, try to build continuity and consistency.

[Nudga]

Lawlor
Nixon-Olowu-Anderson-Senior
Kelly-Clifton
Sbarra-Westbrooke-Yeboah
Sharp

McGrath for Anderson after maybe 45-60 mins

That's the team to play if you don't want to go through to the next round.

[colincramb]

I wouldn’t be messing around too much with the back 4, especially the keeper. Statement of intent was GM playing TSL yesterday, think he needs to stay in the team now. Needs to build his experience at professional level now

[roversdude]

Just noticed Taylor went off at half time on Saturday

[Chris Black come back]

Lawlor
Nixon-Olowu-Anderson-Senior
Kelly-Clifton
Sbarra-Westbrooke-Yeboah
Sharp

McGrath for Anderson after maybe 45-60 mins

Lawlor injured and out tomorrow night.

[roversdude]

Where’s that from please CBCB

Free press

[glosterred]

Yep Lawlor has a minor problem and will miss the Salford game

COYR

[drfchound]

Not good at all.
James is a real quality LB.

[Alan Southstand]

Did Lawlor get an injury sitting on his arse?

Just as we get the medical room empty!!

[sedwardsdrfc]

Senior will come in at left back. The rest is rotation and i’d not make many chee as he’s. Probably just bring Nixon on a right back and Sbarra in too.

I’d like Hurst to get a run of games at 10 to see if he’s got it there. So if Sbarra came in it’d be for Gibson or Moly. For the league they obvs start.

Agree with this. If it was a Trophy game maybe rotate a bit but, as it's the League Cup, then the strongest team possible. I'm sure there's a few things from Saturdays game that need working on. Having got the players up to fitness and speed in pre-season, why would you 'rest' players after just one game.

With Maxwells injury, there's another opportunity to get someone else involved from the bench and all being well, he'll use the maximum number of subs to impact the game.

[IDM]

GM says in the DFP there will be changes.  Other players have had a decent pre season and need game time.  With our squad it wouldn’t be a weakened side..

[Champagne Super Rovers]

I wouldn't be surprised if there were starts for Oluwu, Sbarra, Clifton, Yeboah and Sharp.  None of which would significantly weaken us.  Then again I wouldn't be surprised at anything Grant does !!
