Assuming no more comings and goings before tomorrow, how would you set up the team?
I would go the classic Duffball 5-3-2 as follows
Evans
Blair
Long
Raglan
Pollock
Williams
Sercombe
Thomas
Wright
May
Brown
Subs to definitely bring on regardless:
Williams
Nlundulu
Bonds
If we are comfortably winning or losing I would also bring on Boyle for 15 mins, or potentially Bring on Hussey and give Williams a go in the back three. Long can then go RB and Blair pushed up if Sercombe or Wright need a rest.
Team for Burton
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin

I think that’s a likely starting line-up. I don’t think MD will differ from his trusted 5-3-2 although that does require a level of creativity from the wingbacks which has been missing this season compared to last.
Hopefully, the addition of Williams on the left will improve that - either through himself or by CH stepping his game up and maybe seeing more of the ball in the final third and through set piece with Crowley out of the picture.
For me:
Evans
B Williams
Raglan
Boyle
Pollock
Long
Bonds
Sercombe
Wright
May
Brown
I’d expect MD to start with Thomas though.

Once Boyle is back we could have Long, Freestone, Hussey and Bonds on the bench and all of a sudden the defensive side of the match day squad looks solid.
Pollock, Raglan and Boyle would be a very strong back three.

Two mini strikers no good against Burton. I would start Williams and May. Broadway has the wing backs on the wrong sides.

Broadway just listed the back 5 - no more than that.horlickfanclub wrote:Two mini strikers no good against Burton. I would start Williams and May. Broadway has the wing backs on the wrong sides.
