Think Cole’s hold up could benefit Phillips
If Cole was well enough to travel and didn’t fall over his dummy

Derek says in his video that it will be the same squad as Tuesday but with the new player Shaw from
Celtic added.

Can`t see stockton been anywhere near the team for the forseeable future -

Ripley

Love Badeau Rawson Delaney Gibson

Weir Shaw Taylor

Gnahoua Phillips

[glagys]

What’s the word from the treatment table ??
Are they long term injuries?

[Redalert1970]

I heard that Hunter is 10 weeks and Melborne is 6 weeks

Unsure about obika and stockton (according to Derek not in squad for Bristol Rovers game)

[Little Shrimp]

Please no more back three.

Ripley
Love - Rawson - Bedeau - Gibson
Taylor - Shaw - Weir
Gnahoua - Phillips - Watts

Could put Delaney in for Bedeau, I don't really mind. Same with Fane for Shaw, but seems like DA still doesn't fully trust Fane. Would have Stockton on the bench but probably not start him immediately.

Somehow suspect this will be the team BUT I'd like to see Watt in there somehow possibly at the exclusion of Love with a back 4 of B: R; D and G.

Watt for me is the creative one and could play just behind the striker (s) ....but what do i know,,,,

Looks like we've already had a player sent off

[Redalert1970]

Just seen the team - bare bones central

No Obika
No Stockton
No Gnahoua
No Delaney

None of them even in the squad

[Redalert1970]

Looks like a possible 4 4 2 or 4 5 1

Not full of confidence looking at the line up but hey ho lets see - At least it looks a little bit more attacking than previous weeks

Bare bones by the look of it and like yourself not that confident. Glad to see Watt in the team but Fane worries me as well as Love. Both at fault for goals last week v MK.

As Red Alert has posted the team news, I'll hijack this thread for the match.

Apparently there is sickness in the camp

To avoid confusion, the first few posts were predictions for today's line-up.

[Keith]

Aaron Collins with a curling a shot from about 35 yards, against the post. 1 minute 30 seconds.
Ripley came close to giving away a penalty after a mix-up in the area after 2 minutes.

Frantic start!

[Keith]

YESSSS!!!!!! Weir!

[Redalert1970]

GETTTTTTINNNNN

[Keith]

Watts with a lovely through ball to Phillips who twisted and turned in to the penalty area, but his shot was blocked for a corner.

Corner taken short to Love, who knocked it to Weir, about 20 yards out. He placed it beautifully in the top corner! Great goal.

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Super goal! Now then only 75 mins left. Cmon lads!

[Redalert1970]

1 1 now

Go again lads

[Keith]

Too easy It was a good move and cross, but the defence and keeper all watched it, until it reached the Rovers player, two yards out.

[Keith]

Superb ball from Love to Phillips. The angle was a bit too narrow, and his shot dribbled just wide.

[Angler1]

It was good while it lasted but if you give time to Collins you will be punished.. I see quigley has scored for Rochdale already , I wish we could have got him in...

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Phillips looking good nearly back in front!

[Keith]

Collins with a superb shot. Ripley saved but ball fell nicely back to Collins, but Rawson with an excellent block.

[Keith]

WOW! A great through ball leaving Collins one-on-one but he hit the bottom of the post.

Good first half, although I'd say Rovers probably shaded it so far.

[Redalert1970]

Not a bad half - Would have taken that before the game

Forest Green / Cheltenham both losing

Big 2nd half coming up
