What do they know though? I'd be surprised if it wasn't Hoskins + Barnes.

Was it Agdestein that came on V Wrexham the other week? I can't remember if it was him or Bergkamp but I do know that whoever it was played pretty well for the short amount of time they were on the pitch.

That was Agdestein and I thought he looked pretty decent as well, (although he was playing as a winger). I'd like to see him again tonight.

A big forward to put up against Creighton on a dodgy pitch would be no bad idea but I agree - what do the Mirror ever know?

I'm just hoping we play Barnes down the middle for once. I really think he's having a bad hand dealt to him being stuck out in a wingers role most of the time. Stick him up front with Hoskins, and get some forwards scoring goals again.

Wouldn't mind Barnes and Bergkamp to be honest.

Not sure I'd risk Hoskins unless really needed to on a dodgy pitch with knee issues.

There might be an element of truth about this, Gus yesterday did remark that if we are unable to pass the ball and play out game effectively on the poor surface we would need to have other options. Maybe Bergkamp is that ?

hoskins tweeted he was there and fit

A player saying he is fit isn't the same as the medical team saying he is fit.
A player and medical team saying a player is fit doesn't mean he is going to be selected to play.

Gus may have changed his starting line up since the game has been moved, and maybe when they travelled expecting to play tuesday hoskins was going to start, now we are playing wednesday, travelling back on the night, training on thursday travelling to peterborough on friday, maybe Hoskins won't be risked from the start.

Spot on Acker. I think the 24 hour delay may well have changed Gus' plans for the starting XI

He'll most likely be on the bench. He barely plays for the reserves let alone the first team.

If it is a bumpy rough pitch I would be inclined to hold Hoskins back as a sub to bring on if desperately needed. If the game was at The Amex I would do the reverse and start with him so to go against my original thoughts keep Buckley Hoskins and possibly Sparrow until 20mins from the end if needed. Start with Barnes Harley and a good defensive unit.
