Bruno and Calderon injured, so not much choice for RB. Crofts was poor Saturday, so Hammond deserves it, and say what you want about Barnes, we don't look the same without him, hes had some bench time so lets bring him back, as he gives us a bit of physical presence.

So what's wrong with El Abd at rb...ok ok we all know he is not the best right back in the world, but it's a position he knows and has played. Putting Lopez there is a disaster waiting to happen. Carlos Edwards will destroy him. Hoskins showed a touch on Saturday that was total class, in an otherwise woeful performance, why is he not starting???

Carlos Edwards will be playing on the right I would have thought.

Totally agree. He won't put Hoskins to start and RISK playing a straight 2 up front will he. At least Gus in consistant :(

El-Abd is slow and has nowhere near the attacking nature to play at RB, to suit how we play and rely on LB/RB. Lopez has played there before, and done well. Don't see the problem. Either way it is less than ideal.

I think Barnes or Hoskins much of a muchness possibly for that position.

Will Solly March get the nod over Dobbie and Hoskins as the sub striker ?

Did you see AEA's pace as the Waford bloke left him trailing on Saturday, and Spanish Dave played well when he covered at right back against Millwall I think it was.

I thought he played on the left at the Amex, I could be wrong. However Lee Martin will still have him on toast. Could be a long afternoon.

Edwards actually played right back at the Amex but got the better of Lua Lua. Martin is a tricky customer so I think we could struggle on our right.

If you have no pace as a LB or RB surely it is better not to try and keep up with the winger but just cut into the area and cut the angle down instead
