Do we know what the injury list looks like yet?
I'd swap Evans with Harris and start Ralls ahead of Vaulks if fit.
ralls and pack in the middle for me,Quote:

Steve Morison
Joe Ralls, how long will he be out?
He’s on a ‘let’s take each day as it comes’. It’s about his pain threshold, what he can tolerate.
He has a problem with his shoulder. There’s no long-term damage but it’s such an important part of what he does. We’ll have to manage him.
As soon as he is remotely near he’ll be letting us know. He has done bits of training but not fully at it yesterday.
Steve Morison

pack and bacuna then?
Maybe, but the club did put Vaulks up for the pre-match press conference.Quote:

I’m hoping Vaulks is on the bench
Kieron Evans to start in the middle for his home debut
Colwill and Harris playing off Kieffer with Giles providing the balls into the box
Strong showing from McGuiness with three at the back and I’m hoping when the team news comes out in ten minutes Chanka Zimba is on the bench
Come on the Blooooobirds ⚽️👍
Zimba on bench.
Surprising
Zimba on the bench are my prayers answered WJ
The kids on FIRE 🔥
I think it’s the right line up.
Could make a case for Harris but when I see him he seems to do best off the bench.
I hope the back 5 can do well , I think on form they are the best options
Would rather see Pack/Bacuna but I take it he's not fit enough to start? Interesting to see if Zimba gets a look
Flint is the best defender we have probablyQuote:

I still think five at the back at home is too cautious.
I think its 3 at the back, same as Saturday
It's a back 3Quote:

Doesn't that depend on whether the wing backs attack and provide the width and crosses.Quote:

I'm less confident about central defence and central midfield. Mozzer, Nelson and Vaulks need big games.
Great to see Zimba on the bench, and Ralls back.
Would have started Flint and Harris, but that's ok.
Not really. It allows Giles and NG to get high and wide whilst having Colwil and Evans provide support to Moore.Quote:

We always concede a few so I’m going 4-3 city
Yeah I think you can make a case for Flint but personally think Morrison is a better defender and I wouldn’t play the together especially with Giles bombing forward at fullback.Quote:

Agree this team couldn’t be further from a MM teamQuote:
