If Brady starts for ROI tomorrow that would mean 3 games in six days so if he stays fit he would be on the bench for me.
As far as I can see Millar wasn’t used for Canada and McCann was only a late sub but NI play Scotland tomorrow so he could be more involved then?
As it stands I would go;

Woodman
Storey Lindsay Hughes
Browne Ledson Mcann Millar
Mads
Keane Riis

PS…It was difficult typing Ledson.

Only thing to worry about with that side is set pieces. Eaves & Wyke might be the all time worst championship front 2. But put those 2 and Morrison in the box and they will have some threat. Fortunately, our defence is well suited to dealing with that threat.

Only change for me would be Osmajic for Riis. Holmes in for McCann/Ledson if we fancied a little more attacking impetus, but should have more than enough between Riis, Keane, Millar and Frokjaer to beat Rotherham

Presuming Potts and Whiteman will be unavailable then that is likely. If Brady were to be deemed fit to start then in Potts' absence I would prefer to see him on the right with Millar attacking down the left - the fact that both would be 'wrong-footed' would not matter since both are better cutting in than trying to go outside a defender. What is certain is that we cannot afford any more indifferent performances - the season is now at the point where the tension will ratchet up with every match.
 
I think it could be a game that would suit Holmes, but I'm not sure how we could fit him in if we play 3 / 5 at the back.

Millar certainly is - it's pretty much the basis of his whole game but I wouldn't say Brady is good at cutting in when played on the right. He offers little attacking threat wherever he plays but at least on the left he can occasionally put in some decent crosses.

For now, though by no means ideal, I think Browne is the best option on the right. If he's not fit, then who knows, unfortunately, Brady would seem to be the only other option.

Whatever, it's definitely a position that needs addressing in the summer.

I’m sure I’ve heard that line before.

Brady did score that absolute belter v Rovers from that side though.

Millar is just a class act, much prefer him in the left but he’s still a threat when played on the right.

I assume that Whiteman is out for the rest of the season ?

Hugill injured then?
 
If we play football we’ll win comfortably. If we decide to play long ball again then it’ll be a dismal affair with Rotherham probably nicking a 1-0 win.
I was thinking the same, we played into their hands away which was a result that put a stop to our momentum and probably knocked the players confidence.

Tiehi has been ruled out for rest of season.

I dont think we did... we had loads of attacks, epsecially up Potts side past their LCB, in loads of space and we wasted attack after attack.....
Then Hugill scored and gave them something to defend.
Rovrum changed formation 2nd half to restrict space on our right and we never really got going......
so 2nd half I agree with your comments BUT we should have been well out of sight at 0 - 0 but for wasteful attacking.
 
I agree….would equate to 3 starts in 6 days….see how McCann has recovered, he didn’t start NIs first game.

I’d like to see Seary given a chance….. the reality is that we won’t reach the play offs ahead of Norwich or Hull so let’s give a couple of the young lads some game time against championship players.
