2 games in 4 days might be too much for Gally and think Bodin could do with a rest.

I know Maguire won't last 90 mins but I'd keep the momentum and start him, then when he tires bring either Moult on as a direct swap or Bodin and move Robinson up front. I think Saturday showed that we are far less creative when Browne plays in the front three, although he doesn't deserve to be dropped so I'd move him back in with Pearson. Maybe bringing Gally on later in the game, moving Browne up and taking off Harrop when we are a couple of goals up !

Very strong starting 11, especially having Gallagher, Pearson and Fisher all available.

That’s a good 11, but do you not think Browne & Gallagher would be better swapping positions ? Most posters are always saying Browne’s best position is deeper and Gallagher’s creativity would be better utilised further forward.

Its too much to ask for Mag to start , your just asking for another tweak or strain.. it would probably be best to use him like we did on Saturday.
 
Some great options for AN....would love to see Maguire start but is it rushing him...and would ex Rovers player Bodin have a spring in his step against City?

Is that the same as saying he's been a bit shit recently?

FWIW I'd probably go with the same, but the key bit in that team is getting Harrop on the ball in key areas (ala Saturday) and not being pushed out wide. And I can't see him starting 'from the right'.

No - Browne is better at breaking up the attacks. Gallagher is better sitting deep and setting us up on the attacks. He has played that position for a few years now - he is not a number ten anymore.
 
Crucial to get the first goal tonight. If BC do, they park the bus and it will be difficult to break them down. If we do they will have to come out and attack and then I can see us scoring 3. So I would start with my strongest attacking formation. Try and get an hour from maguire.

I surprise myself leaving barks out. On form he is one of my favourites, but Harrop is more creative and links well with Pearson and maguire.

After saturdays performance Barks will be the first name on the teamsheet.
 
If anyone is going to drop out of the team then it's Bodin imo, especially not Barkhuizen who has been our most important player since Christmas.

Presuming Maguire isn't ready to start, same team as Bolton but with Fisher in for Woods, which is harsh as Woods had a good game at the Macron.
