Bruno --- Hunemeier ---- Dunk --- Rosenior
Knockaert -- Norwood -- Stephens -- March
------------- Hemed ----- Baldock ---------------

Subs: Walton, Tomori, Kayal, Sidwell, Murphy, Murray, Connolly/Skalak

Yep would go with this as well. Rotherham's approach to the game should suit Norwood giving him time on the ball if they adopt a defensive game.

Time to get the Stephens-Kayal midfield partnership working again (and a rest for Sidders)?

Stockdale
Bruno - BFG - Dunk - Rosenior
Murphy - Stephens - Kayal - March
Hemed - Baldock​

Subs: Maenpaa, Tomori, Murray, Knockaert, Sidwell, White, Akpom.

This would be my choice as well, however I would have Skalak on the bench!

Isn't Akpom injured?

Is he? Skalak then, or Tilley or Connelly.

Would go with this. Norwood was our best player vs Forest.

He's decent against poorer sides, just don't trust him in a 2 vs the top teams. Knocky and Murray need a rest/kick up the arse also.

Depends on a few things which are not known yet...
1. Is Rosenior fit enough to start 2 games in 4 days?
2. Is Akpom fit?

must have got it in training, he hasn't been on the pitch very much !!
News from Rotherham that they lost three players through injury yesterday.....let's hope they have as bad back-up players as us !!!

Any confirmation on the 3 Rotherham injuries...? One was Ward - bang to the head so could easily end up playing? Could really do with a helping hand...

If it's a concussion he won't be allowed to play. Those are the rules this season, no?

Stockdale;
Bruno, Dunk, Uwe, Rosenior;
Knockaert, Stephens, Kayal, Murphy;
Hemed, Baldock.

Athough I would be very tempted to rest Stephens for Norwood as I think he's been awful the past 2 games.

Correct but from what the argus said it was worded 'bang on the head' - not sure...

 

[Sheebo]

Stephen Kelly, Danny Ward and Jon Taylor - The 3 possibly out for Rotherham.

 

[casbom]

I would rest Stephens (like people have said, he looks like he needs a rest), Sidders, Murphy and Murray. If I could I would also rest Knocky but he is just too god damn important!

So team would be for me:

Stockdale
Bruno--Dunk--BFG--Rosenior
Knocky--Norwood--Kayal--March
Baldock
Hemed

Subs: Walton, Tomori, Stephens, Sidwell, Murphy, Murray and Skalak (if Akpom injured)

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Stockdale
Bruno BFG Dunk Rosenior
Murphy Norwood Sidwell March
Baldock Hemed

Subs: Maenpaa, Tomori, Stephens, Kayal, Knockaert, Skalak, Murray

This gives us an awesome looking bench and resources to call on if the starting 11 can't get the job done

 

[jimhigham]

I'd give Knocky a rest, and start with March and Murphy

Inclined to agree with this. Seems teams are set up to man mark the hell out of Knocky. Give March a start and try and catch some team cold. Knocky as an impact sub is not a bad option.
