Not the best away form over the course of the season although their recent form is obviously a bit better than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookies always favour the home team when it comes to pricing up a fixture. General rule of thumb is if the home team are larger odds than evens then they are expecting points to be dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go on a head to head basis between both teams sadly Rotherham come out on top 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borodane 7,744 27.4k Posted March 6, 2024 Share Posted March 6, 2024 Would that be three at the back or McNair in midfield? Personally I'm not a fan of three at the back as it requires world class wingbacks but I suppose we really need to plug the leaky hole in defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Reds 88 54 Posted March 6, 2024 Share Posted March 6, 2024 My guess would be McNair in the back 3, Howson and O'Brien as the midfield two and Forss & Mcgree playing either side off Lath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose Howson is as fit as a fiddle, so as long as the injury has gone, he will be able to go straight back in and maybe manage 60 mins or so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishboroboy 343 1.2k Posted March 6, 2024 Share Posted March 6, 2024 Man we've missed Howson in the middle. And Engel in for Thomas for the rest of the season. Thomas has been terrible, and not fit enough for the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, it's around about what I would go with. Hard to tell whether McGree is dropping into a midfield three or playing further forward. Hard on Azaz who has looked our only really creative force. Zero pace out wide and no way that Ayling & Engel can cross the half way line and be expected to get back to cover in time. Also, no one to hold onto the ball up front. Real risk that it just bounces straight back every time it goes forward. For all that I think it's a reasonable selection, you can see that there are multiple, unsolvable problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree but with three at the back one can drift over to cover if they are caught up field. We would still have four at the back assuming the opposite WB didn't charge up field as well. Not the ideal way to play it but it would allow an additional threat/overload while attacking yet still keep a solid defensive unit (in theory). Engel in fairness can get up the wing and get crosses in and indeed take a shot himself, he may not be Giles but has at times this season been useful when attacking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT73 859 905 Posted March 6, 2024 Share Posted March 6, 2024 (edited) Howson was in Lenihans family's match day box v Plymouth. I sit row in front... Asked how they were, Howson gave thumbs up Lenihan close to training... As second half wore on they were chatting about over complicated strategy and players feeling tied down too much 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
