With a name like that, I hope no-one chucks you on

Yes, it’s awkward, I have to hide behind the table with the Pimms.

*Kevin Keegan voice* I would LOVE to see us play 3-4-3 today. LOVE it. 

[Parsnip]

This is the first time I've felt a bit like our season is over. I'm just not feeling the character in this team to put a string of result together to get us over the line. I'm also worried that Rowett's style of play is a little dated - like 10 years out of date. Mourinho did it amazingly well for a while but is it still a long term plan? Are the players getting bored of defending 0-0's... even defending 0-2's when wolves visit?? The fans definitely seem to be.

Hope I'm way off the mark today Gary!!!

By boring them to death?

Anyone got the foggiest on what’s going on with that lineup? Never seen so many defensive players 

[HuddersRam]

I have no idea what that formation could be. 

[angieram]

Olsson and Wisdom as win backs? 

[Doodle]

What the F is that???

[Cam the Ram]

He's absolutely terrified of Traore isn't he? 2 left backs (Olsson and Forsyth), a left winger (Lawrence) and a midfielder who's regularly played out on the left throughout his career (Johnson). I bet he's gutted he loaned out Lowe now

Got to be 5 at the back with Fozzy as a centre half with Davies and Keogh I would think. Unless we are playing Fozzy or Keogh as a playmaker  

[nottingram]

Johnson back in. Is it too late to turn around and go home?

It's a curve ball that's for sure. Will probably have Tony Pulis scratching his bald bonce too.

Awaiting all the posters that were moaning we needed changes, moaning about these changes.

To be fair, didn't see many people saying get Bradley back in with 5 defenders too!

I hope they are wing backs and we aren't playing 5 at the back with Wisdom as centre back.

If nothing else it is good to see Keogh back in the starting 11.

[rynny]

Looks like 3-4-3

Carson; Keogh, Davies, Forsyth; Wisdom, Huddlestone, Johnson, Olsson; Lawrence,Nugent, Vydra

Imo

[Derbydave96]

Not sure about wisdom at right back, but at least it's different!

3 at the back but would be surprised if Forsyth was over Pearce?

Keogh as holding midfielder?

442 with Lawrence on the right?

[Topram]

5-3-2

[ramit]

So much for being brave
