Surely it’s the same formation as Saturday?

Sam as CF? I don’t think that works but we’ll see. Can’t see him Roberts or Nemane in the No 10 role behind Ruben. But as per another thread - this is why they don’t ask me to pick the team.

4-2-3-1 then? Still, should have enough about them to take all 3 points

Looks that way, looks a decent attacking side as well.

Jaros?

Jaros?

His distribution on Saturday at best was sporadic. Not sure if he is injured or not but Slocombe deserves a crack.

[CamPie]

Just listened to Burch talking selection on Twitter. Slocombe getting minutes as who knows when he may be needed. Very coy on how the front 4 line up - I guess he’s expecting a lot of fluidity and pace up there. Francis in to give more energy covering behind.

I agree , haven't really seen anything in Jaros to tell me he is an upgrade but I thought that IB had sort of made his decision and that Jaros always plays.

I think Ruben up top, Sam off the left.

[BanjoPie]

Vincent injured or out of favour with IB?

According to Stall, every tune being played over the Dover tannoy has a connection to rain or water, Blondie's "the tide is high", "Its raining men" etc.

Love the line-up up-front - I've been waiting to see this for a long time now. I'd bet on Sam as the CF - and there's no reason he can't do a great job. Not wrestling with CBs but outpacing and getting in behind them.

Ket stat tonight - Dover 39 games - Lost 31 Not lost 8.
There's no way we can be adding to that 'not lost' column, and if god forbid they add to their 2 wins then some will need banishing to train with the youth team.

I can only see a handsome win for Notts though
