Maenappa

Rosenior
Bong

BURNO
Dunk

Knockaert
Skalak
Stephens
Kayal

Murray

Or will Sidwell keep his shirt ? Maybe SALTER on the bench ?

Stocko still in the frame

I believe Sidwell will keep his shirt even if on the metaphorical bench

Baldock for Hemed? Seemed to click against Forrest when he came on.

But then again Baldocks pace and work rate is good to have bringing him on around 70 minutes when defence is knackered

I'd put Baldock on instead of Hemed , but I'm not CHRIS

No idea what Rotherham are about so cant pick best team to beat them ........ but I know a man who can !

Despite this , I think Murphy deserves to start for Skalak and based on the first half Fri its time for Stephens / Kayal to start together.

Rest picks itself

Argus says he's a possibility, but I'd much rather save him and have him confidently fit for Reading than rush him for Rotherham.

------------------- Stockdale ----------------
Rosenior --- Dunk ------ Bruno --- Bong
Knockeart --- Stephens -- Kayal --- Skalak
--------------- Murray ---- Hemed ----------

But it wouldn't surprise me if CH made a couple of changes

Murphy for Skalak and Baldock for Hemed.

It's a shame that Boro player didn't have similar shinpads.

I don't believe anything regarding team selection that Hughton says! Its all smoke and mirrors, as it should be! But I hope Beefy Stock is back.

 

[Marshy]

Could easily freshen things up with Murphy for Skalak, Baldcok for Hemed and Stephens for Sidwell

Suspect with Rotherham who i hope will be defending deep the only change will be Stephens for Sidwell.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that when the team is announced there will be 2 changes from Friday : Maenpaa for Stockdale with Ankergren on the bench and Stephens for Sidwell. I dont believe they will take a chance with DS if there is any doubts.

I'd stick with Hemed and Murray. Think Forest's defence was tiring when Baldock came on. Maybe Baldock can find his place as super-sub this season, coming on to run at tired legs.
Hoping Stockers is fit, but think Maenpaa is decent cover if not.
Would slot Stephens back in mid with Kayal, not that Sidwell hasn't done a sterling job.
Other than that, rest of the team the same for me.

I'd play SALTER at CB to give BURNO a rest and make sure he's FIT for the TINPOT match.

Agreed, Sidwell was okay against Derby.

But against Forrest just looked to slow for the game, lost the ball too many times and too many misplaced passes

I'd still keep skalak in the team his delivery is second to none baldock played well when he came on his movement could be crucial against a team that will try to frustrate and nick a point

Shame that Rotherham have signed this guy on a season's loan just before we play them. Chelsea forwards tend to be quite good...

If he'd signed for albion the anti-loan crew would have had a meltdown.
