If Wintle is (sadly) injured I give you:
Garratt

Raynes was awful against Carlisle and, unless he was a lot better at Wycombe, I'd leave him out for the more consistent Nolan and blood Stubbs - he must surely have more pace than the others! It won't happen but there ya go.
I thought Dale looked livelier than George vs Carlisle and deserves a start. I suspect Kirk would start before him and wouldn't argue, I'm just not sure a wide role suits him as much as just behind the front 2 in the so-called diamond formation. I think we need more solidity to try that one out!
But I agree with the general thrust of sticking with a formation. We've tried 3-4-3 but it too easily becomes 5-2-3 and we're overrun, plus don't have the depth of squad when key personnel are injured or just go missing. I guess I'm just too old to see past 4-4-2 when we need to grind out points, which seems to be the case right now.
