Have to assume Aluko has a knock. Not at all convinced by the front line in terms of shape and complimenting each other. Who is 10? Because I wouldnt want Chaplin or Fraser as a right winger... |  | |  |

Celina on the right, Fraser left, Chaplin at 10? |  |

One goalkeeper, three defenders/ two of which can play further forward, two midfielders and a striker. [Post edited 23 Nov 2021 18:56]

we could be a bit narrow; aluko, edwards & burns all provide decent cover to the full-backs, so it's a tough night for donacien and clements... |  |

Only one way to find out what we need to buy in the next transfer window! |  |

The Team on 18:57 - Nov 23 with 1473 views | DublinBlue84 | Would have dropped Bonne and Clements myself. Bonne has been pretty average the last six games to say the least. Great at the start of the season but for sure had a little dip the last half a dozen games. We can't afford to be sentimental as he's an Ipswich lad and he was ace at the start of the season. Clements was a weak link at the weekend. If he wasn't one of our own he'd have got totally hammered by our fans, but since he's an academy grad it seems that he's untouchable with some parts of our fanbase. Bench is very defensive, perhaps too. |  |

Think I would have started with either Penney or preferably Burgess at LB. |  | |  |

From memory Celina was always good at tracking back and Fraser definitely is so not too worried there. I just think we lack a bit of thrust with no Burns or Edwards. Certainly looks very clever though so let’s hope Cool has identified a problem for Rotherham that he wants to take advantage of. |  |

The Team on 18:58 - Nov 23 with 1451 views | Vic | I like that. Good to see he’s had the humility to pull Edwards out of the side (much as I like him). Shame that Aluko is not fit (I didn’t expect to be saying that a few weeks ago) |  |

i'm not sure we could have risked penney against rotherham, clements' height may come in useful. would have been fine with burgess, big night for clements |  |

Guessing there are a couple of defenders carrying knocks to judge by that bench. Unless that’s all we have left for the bench if we have so many injuries and players not considered now like Nors. |  |

Pigott, Edwards and KVY is plenty enough attacking intent on bench with Harper there for CM if needed. Bench is fine...it's up to this starting 11 to deliver tonight. They need to! |  |

The Team on 19:09 - Nov 23 with 1208 views | Mullet | This is where we see the worth of the squad isn't it? Looks built to counter them and pin them down with movement of the ball. Hopefully it works out well. |  |
|  |
The Team on 19:11 - Nov 23 with 1173 views | BlueBoots | Could this be the match we see a change in formation / tactics? 4-3-3 with Fraser joining Morsy and Evans, and Chaplin / Celina buzzing around behind Bonne? (Extra body in front of the back 4 might not be a bad idea with how direct Rotherham can be...) |  |
