Anthony Wordsworth and Frank Nouble are recalled to the Town starting line-up for today’s game at Blackburn with Stephen Hunt dropping to the bench and Paul Anderson out of the 18.

We understand Nouble will be on the left of a four-man midfield with Wordsworth on the right and Jonny Williams behind lone striker Daryl Murphy.

Blackburn: Robinson; Keane, Hanley (c), Kilgallon, Spurr; Cairney, Evans, Williamson, Conway; Gestede, Rhodes. Subs: Eastwood, King, Dunn, Varney, Taylor, Etuhu, Feeney.

Town: Gerken, Chambers (c), Cresswell, Berra, Smith, Skuse, Hyam, Wordsworth, Nouble, Williams, Murphy. Subs: Loach, Hunt, Green, Mings, Tabb, Richardson, Ebanks-Blake. Referee: Keith Stroud (Hampshire).

Fat_Boy_Tim added 14:12 - Apr 5 Great :) Not what I expected, impact off the bench might rely on SEB finding form now but clearly going for the win.

smithy91 added 14:14 - Apr 5 Great to see Wordy is back in and Mick has basically stuck to his words of resting him last week! COYB

thebeat added 14:22 - Apr 5 Are you sure about the set up? Wordy on the right? Wouldnt it be better to play a 3 man midfield with Williams in between them and the 2 strikers?

bluefeast added 14:24 - Apr 5 Its going to be interesting but i reckon we will play Williams on the left and Nouble up front with Murphy. COYB

tractordownsouth added 14:25 - Apr 5 The beat. I think it is the right decision as they have flaws at full back and wordy is a tricky creative player

tractordownsouth added 14:26 - Apr 5 Good that dunn is on the bench too, perhaps fatigue?

Guthrum added 14:32 - Apr 5 There's a fair amount of flexibility in that team, could change set-up as required.

TractorBeezer added 14:39 - Apr 5 Excellent news. Well done MM and TC for shifting the starting line-up with more emphasis on attack. We'll need to harvest 3 points from the majority of the remaining games and it looks like we intend to start on the front foot. That's the spirit!

TimmyH added 14:48 - Apr 5 Glad to see Wordsworth starting, still not sure about the 4411 formation though! personally prefer Williams to have a more central role rather than tucked in behind Murphy. Nouble on the left seems a bit strange, didn't he play on the right in the 433 the last couple of games upfront?

mow_the_lawn added 14:49 - Apr 5 @thebeat I hope you're right. Stick with 3 in the middle, Williams between midfield and Murphy and Nouble just to drift and cause a nuisance either on a wing or drifting up top to run at them.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 14:53 - Apr 5 Waheey! Can't really complain about this line-up. Hope it works from the start. We do seem to be going for it. Well done, Mick!

BlueMachines added 15:01 - Apr 5 A long trip on a coach to Blackburn really wouldn't have done Anderson's back much good!! Great to see MM go for it :)

marcusevans added 15:12 - Apr 5 Still no sign of Taylor. Interesting that posters on here have even stopped talking about him. He must be finished at Town methinks.
