Fish being out is a worry. That leaves up with Chambers and Lawlor, with no-one to really step up as a sub. With Wintle, at least we have King, who is worth giving a start. Daland has basically been told to leave, so that worries me. I guess we call up Debono, Spiers or someone, give him a chance as a sub? I guess we give Tanner another chance, but Robinson and/or Davies might want some game time also.

Trott
Bagan-Lawlor-Chambers-Kpakio
King
Colwill 1 and Colwill 2
Ashford-Salech-Tanner

Bench: Turner, Giles, Debono/Spiers, Turnbull, Nyakuhwa, Robinson, Davies

You'd imagine Daland would be on the bench even if he's leaving

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Didn’t King have a brief spell as CB during one of the preseason games? Might see him as cover.

[Hilts]

It says assessed after knocks. Both will probably be available.

[The Lone Gunman]

What’s this all about? It’s a really odd cover. Have they photoshopped Colwill’s head onto Ledley’s body? If so, why?

There’s a thread on this MB about the design of the match day programme for this season. It’s basically iconic moments from the past with current players heads put on.

Thanks. Dreadful idea.

What a ghastly thing the Programme Department have done this season turning iconic images into something tacky. But the Club have a history of this sort of thing, don't they?

Why couldn't they have simply kept the original iconic photos for the programme covers?

Callum Chambers, FA Cup in one hand, fag in another & Trixie on his knee is the one I’m looking forward to.

[Hilts]

Thanks. Dreadful idea.

Ollie Tanner as Robin Friday flicking a V....

[the other bob wilson]

Thanks. Dreadful idea.

Well, we had great programme covers last season and we finished bottom of the league - logic implies that we surely have to be going up this season if where we finish is determined by programme cover.

Thats literally one of the worst ideas I have ever heard.

And i remember hearing we had given etete a new 2 year contract.

Trott

Kpakio
Fish (Chambers if Fish is unfit)
Lawlor
Bagan

King
J Colwill

Davies
R Colwill
Robinson

Salech


We have two of the most talented strikers in the division, our defence is pony so would like to see them both starting until the defense is sorted out. Maximise our chance of goals.

I'd be half tempted to give Giles a go tomorrow, Bagan hasn't impressed so far this season.

Bagan was good on Tuesday and he gets stuck in unlike Callumity. Give him a chance to grow into his role.

[az city]

Isn't their main striker (Nombe?) injured? Maybe Lawlor and Callumity will be able to cope.

Rotherham sold 304 tickets (although Pay On The Gate available tomorrow too).

Home tickets seem to be selling decently well, looks similar to the Peterborough game.

Rotherham have beaten us once since 2016 and that was a 5-2 bashing.
