[Ian Royal]

So much for getting everyone fit.

At least Baird can slot back if necessary.

Agreed.

The bench looks particularly uninspiring. Blackman and Taylor are only there to make the numbers. Queue conspiracy theory about Morrison's injury.

[Royal Ginger]

ROVERS: Kean, Kane, Dann, Hanley, Spurr, Cairney, Lowe, Williamson, King, Dunn, Rhodes.

Rhodes is fit...damn.

[savage 4 england]

Expect Josh King to cause us problems today. He has pace to burn and it doesn't seem that our defence like that at all.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Starting to get fcuked off with the lack of McAnuff starts now. We are crying out for him.

I predict a loss today 2-1

Why conspiracy theory? He put on twitter in the week that we has going for a scan.....

[Ian Royal]

Yeah, but Adkins had a gun to his head at the time.

I don't subscribe to it, but i'm just waiting for someone who does. Contract pending and all...

And play him where? Obita doesn't deserve to be dropped and McCleary is our best winger! He should though be ahead of Robson-Kanu. I really don't see what he adds to the team when he starts; he's no really an impact player either.

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

good to see williams on the bench finally!

it really sucks that rhodes is fit cause he is one of their few real threats attacking.

[Ian Royal]

SJM is unhappy at the way Brian was ousted and is refusing to sell the remaining 49% to Anton. As a result Anton is boycotting the club and refusing to add more money for anything. Which is why the new training ground has gone quiet. Guthrie (who is actually a KGB agent) has kicked Morrison in the groin, injuring him, as Morro is a staunch SJM supporter. Guthrie has now been installed as captain. He's hoping to climb the tree until he is eventually manager and DoF when he can ban sandman from the stadium.

I'd still drop Obita. I'd even have Jobi at LB. Can't be any worse than Kelly & at least he'd be able to get a cross in on that side - something Kelly has not been able to do.

[Ian Royal]

McCleary, I will finally conceed, is our best winger. But only when he shows up. Which is less than 1 game in 3. McAnuff always shows up. And Obita hasn't done a great deal to hold onto his place, other than be very promising for the future and ok. McAnuff could also pad out midfield. Not a fan of the left back idea myself, but it is at least an option I guess.

I'd probably drop Obita, but i have been pondering myself about McAnuff at left back, and i think he'd do a decent job there

[MmmMonsterMunch]

It's concede

Probably nearer the truth than a lot of the shit on the TB

[loyalroyal4life]

Guthrie captain, what a turn around for him!!!

He completely deserves it - good luck to him.

Performance wise fair enough, but he seems to be a bit of a cnut to the rest of the players.
