Furthermore, both Jenkins and Comyn-Platt are also fully fit and available tomorrow - so do we stick with a winning side or strengthen it with the lads from United and Jenkins?

Personally I'd leave it as it is but with a stronger bench we can make changes if neccesary.

Id play Jenkins instead of Collins.

Agreed Sonic, Collins is improving imo, so no need to make change with the littlest hobo :D

A strong bench would be nice

I think Shaker should start-Kingy has never been one for the"never change a winning side" policy.

I'd keep it the same, although id be temptedto play Migz if fit, but Pooky did alright last week....

There are a lot of options now but probably keep it much the same

Evans/Heaton if Evans isn't 100%

Collins O'Hanlon Ifil Smith
Summerbee Pook Whalley Nicolau
Cureton Fallon

Sub Heaton, Comyn-Platt or Jenkins, Thorpe or Roberts, Shakes, Heath

Collins probably deserves to stay in, always a chance Jenkins may start in midfield instead of Pook, I wouldn't be too surprised if Roberts doesn't make the bench. Maybe start Heath instead of Summerbee. There are loads of options though, I'm not sure that migs is fit, the BBC aren't very reliable on injuries.

Collins out due to crapness, Jenko the hobo in.  Drop buzzer due to being unfit, play shakes. sorted.

Agree with that, although he was a bit better against Forest i still dont rate Collins. :roll:

Evans

Collins  Ohanlon  Ifil   Smith

Shakes  Pook Whalley Nicolau

Roberts  Fallon

Bench:Cureton or thorpe, summerbee, Jenkins,heath, heaton

thats quite a strong bench, always good. I would give collins one more start(only just)  i can't really choose between curo/robbo.

A side which wins well should not be changed in my view, unless it is obvious that there is a weak link. This was not so vs Forest, apart from Buzzer's lack of fitness.
But I fear that Heaton will play, and Heath, but the one who pooh poohed the reserves will be on the bench as a clue to his identity.   :old:

I have no idea what King'll do, but for once he played all players in the right positions so hopefully he does it again. At least theres competition for places now!

Who'd have thought that were be discussing who should play where?, a week before the start of the season we were saying how we would be playing this 19 yr old there and that 18 yr old there etc etc

Happy days!  :wink:

Not really no, same system, just one straight swap for a player who the board won't let us buy permanently....

Which is still a change, and I dont think Heath is a right winger.....

More of an enforced change and you think wrong, he is a right winger....
