    Seriously though, I'm sure myself: Is Steele and better than Robbo? Rightback is a mare. Lowe is by far a better right back than midfielder, but does he want to play there? Good as we've looked with the back 4 from the last few, they haven't conceeded a lot of goals. But then the midfield need to take responsibility too for allow the defence to have to defend in the 1st place. So, injuries aside:

    Robbo, (haven't seen enough of Steele and I'm also unsure if he show us his arse if we ask either).

    RB: Lowe, (if he really wants to play there - otherwise) Henley, (I know, I know)
    CB: Baptiste (Hanley to replace when he gets his act togther)
    CB: Duffy
    LB: Tommy 'the man' Spurr - but no chance, so for Wigan Killa will need to fill in, (otherwise Olsson)


    RW: King, (sod it, give the lad another chance)

    DCM: Dunn, (until he's knackered - then, if it going OK, Williamson, otherwise go flat on the formation and sub for Evans)

    ACM: Cairney, (obviously)

    LW: Conway

    Upfront: Rhodes and Gested

    No tuncliffe Dan?he is head a shoulders better than Williamson even if he does have a bit of a suspect attitude otherwise I agree with the team selection.

    Cant really be any worse Dan ..time to get someone younger in the sticks ..at least plan for the future (what future i hear you all say ?)..and hes been brought in by GB so must be seen as more than capable ..plenty of Championship experience too so not really a risk throwing him in ..

    I hate to say it, but I still think Robbo going to be no.1. I think Steele has come because if he's going to be an understudy, he'd rather be one with an ex international,

    Who let the ball slip under his foot once

    I think our real weak links are Hanley & Robinson. I can see Robbo being given the No1 still as long as he's fit. Hanley is too slow, doesn't react quickly to things, and can be easily got at. Baptiste, from what I've seen, is far better. He isn't at full back but CB, I would play Duffy alongside him. I do think this Duffy will play games, but if it's in place of Baptiste, we will continue to ship goals. I'd keep Evans & Cairney in the centre of midfield as they are two of our more creative players.
