That team is actually quite hilarious. The way it's written, looks like a 3-4-3 with Calderon and Chicksen as wide midfielders, with Crofts and Manu on the wing and Towell up front
What on earth? Hull have put a very decent team out too. This could be quite amusing.

Awesome Bench!!! Three players from it can only do 45mins so the tacticis we get to half time 0-0 then unleash Zamora-Lua Lua-Baldock

Calderon------------------------------Chicksen
Holla-Ince-Crofts
Towell
Manu
That is excatly a I see it being. the way they will line up with Chicksen or Calderon dropping back to make a 4 depening on how they attack and which side.and getting forward as a wing back. to make 4 in midfield. IMHO a good formation and interesting to see how it works for possible difficult away games until all are fit.
That is true, but anyone travelling expecting a 'strong' line up, probably thinks they are treated unfairly 10 or 20 times a day.

Not surprised to see 5 at the back, damage limitation ? Cant see point of Murphy & BZ on bench especially if Tilley travelled.
Last chance saloon for Chicksen & Holla, big game/test for Ince.

To be honest, 5-4-1 is a tricky formation to play against if done well. This is a real opportunity for Chicksen and Towell to shine in their preferred positions.

Towell's goalscoring record indicates he is an attacking midfielder but actually (as has been posted on NSC by Dundalk supporters) he is a deep-lying midfielder. Most of his goals have come from set-pieces, arriving into the box late or long range shots. I imagine he is a similar type of player to Holla but hopefully more mobile, aggressive and suited to championship football. Calde looks like the best striking option in that team to me.

He'll be benched now for league games with the arrival of Ridgewell.

If the team wins do they all start the next game. Keeping the shirt and all that. I jest (for once !!!!)
True.
To guarantee that we don't end up taking them to a replay, presumably.

That line-up looks like a lonely day for l'il Manu. Would hope that Holla is not our third defensive midfielder and would form a neat bond with Towell behind our offside addict, playing some balls through and shooting whenever he had the chance. A good defensive display might bring the confidence back into Dunk though, so some good might come from it, along with the hope of no replay.
