Front 3 tonight

[peasmarshmakem]

If they are ready should be Watmore, Lafferty and Semenyo.
Big game on Saturday and these 3 should be able to put Rochdale to the sword and give the regulars a break.
Scowen and John should also be starting

Aye we should be able to get a tune out of them three

 

[McGregor]

So you change nearly half a winning team? Does that make sense?

None whatsoever. Id be tempted to make 2 changes throughout the whole team. Maybe scowen and John in.

 

[PS]

There's literally no downside to playing Lafferty, plus he might actually score.

I think PP will only make other changes if players have knocks/look tired. Fair enough, but if we're winning after 60 minutes I hope he brings a couple on.

 

[HebburnMackem]

Don't change a winning formula. It's the first time we've had one in about 6 seasons.

Power and Wyke out. Lafferty and Scowen in.

Probably worth resting Hume tonight as well tbh.

 

[JL1985]

We are not good enough to be resting players.

 

[Shieldsman]

There's an air of people disrespecting Rochdale here. Bolton at home is still pretty fresh in my memory. We also scraped past Southend and Tranmere. It has to be to the strongest available team.

 

[Sumdumgi]

Power and Wyke out. Lafferty and Scowen in.

He’s given Power the captain’s armband so barring injury I think he will always start. Scowen will get his chance as soon as Dobson gets another booking.

 

[TheWanderer]

rest him

One of a few attacking threats and someone who knows where the back of the net is! Tactical genius!

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Same as Saturday. Winning team.

 

[Howard the Duck]

I think you're underestimating Rochdale here.

They got a deserved draw at Doncaster last game out and won at Rotherham only a couple of months ago. They've got some talented players and they're one of those that are clearly capable of raising their game for the right occassion. See the game against the Mags too.

 

[TheWanderer]

Same as Saturday. Winning team.

100% this, try get out the blocks much earlier and try get a decent cushion before introducing the new lads.

Would like to see our first choice getting a bit of a rest, but only after putting a bit graft in to try and get us ahead first.

 

[RichD]

Same team starts as on Saturday, nailed on

This..Parky likes to keep a winning team together so we'll only see changes if players are not 100% reet....

 

[Iballistic George]

Forest watmore shouldn't be anywhere near the first team for me.

 

[dave hedgehog]

Lafferty and wyke upfront wouldnt be a bad shout. 2 big bastards to cause problems and help us play further up pitch away from home. Especially if pitch in bad condition

 

[LineTrash]

So you change nearly half a winning team? Does that make sense?

It’s less than a third.

Take it you're not going tonight

 

[TheBronzeBummer]

I’d start Semenyo

Aren’t we at home ?

sure Stadium of light is our home ground ?

Definitely. The pitch will probably start getting heavy so bring Watmore and Semenyo on to test Rochdale's legs second half.
