    Starting XI v Wolves

    Seems like ages since we last played! But that only means we have longer to mull over plenty of questions about Sunday. Butterfield or Hendrick? Does Baird start (no)? Warnock or Forsyth? Bent to start? Bryson? I ask these questions but in truth I think bar some sort of last minute or unknown injury, we'll start with exactly the same team.

    Carson
    Christie - Keogh - Shackell - Forsyth
    Johnson - Thorne - Hendrick
    Ince - Martin - Russell

    Wolves have been a bit hit and miss this season, but even if they're 'hit' I still fancy us to do them. But some players need to kick on a bit. Ince has been a bit 'meh'. Some of Martin's contribution to play has been poor for his standards. Forsyth and Warnock sometimes look as if they're trying to outdo each other in terms of being s***! But if everyone is on song then I can't see anything other than 3 points.

    I agree with that team. I can't see Thorne getting to the end of November without another booking and having to serve a ban, just as long as he doesn't miss the Forest game.

    Stimac, you missed out the word injury as well.

    I'd be tempted to play Butterfield instead of Hendrick purely because if he is left out he will lose his confidence. i think he needs games to settle in and that will only come by regular starts in the side.

    Afraid I can't agree with this one OTR.
    Hendrick has played well since returning and surely bringing in a player who hasn't yet performed would have Jeff wondering what he needs to do.

    I'm sure Jacob will come good when he gets his chance.
    But in my view, that chance should be when a current shirt holder either drops his standards or gets injured. Get your place and then fight to keep it.

    Fair enough. Jeff probably deserves to keep his place in the side.

    Jeff to keep his place, he waited and took his chance and so far deserves the shirt! Championship teams must look at our bench and realise who ever we take off is going to be replaced by more quality!
