Strong side. 

[roboto]

Not much on the bench in the way of midfielders

[cannable]

Unless Evans is that man, then there still isn’t a midfielder on the pitch or bench who can control a game 

[Rev]

I like that line up, plenty strong enough with a sprinkling of new boys and a well earned competitive start for Bogle.

[Millenniumram]

Reasonably what I was expecting bar maybe Carson, hope the new signings can gel and get going straight away. Surprised there’s no Holmes yet or thomas mind

[Whoneedshuls]

4-2-3-1 ? Seems likely Johnson and Evans holding.

[BodminRam]

No Thomas,  Loan maybe

[ivo_knoflicek]

Makes it look like the rumours of Luke Thomas going out on loan are correct then. Not involved last night, or tonight. 

[Day]

Still think it will be 4-3-3, Evans holding and Johnson/Mount ahead of him.

Suspect Evans will play the Bryson role. Got a mate who's a Walsall fan. It may only have been League One but he reckons he's the best player he's seen in a Walsall shirt. Streets ahead of anyone. Great going forward. Didn't understand why Reading played him holding.

Could be Keogh, Tomori and Evans in a back 3 with Malone + Bogle wingbacks. 

They're both better wingbacks than fullbacks.

4-2-3-1 possibly more likely though. 4-3-3 most likely.

Although perhaps @gccrowdpleaser info scuppers that idea.

Huddlestone’s injured so I’m not sure why you’re surprised ?

Agree. Must be going out. Coventry maybe and Bayliss comes the other way on a loan to perm? Bayliss more of a central player so could maybe I'm just hopeful. Like Thomas but he'll develop more playing 90 every week and occasionally training back here rather than 10 mins every other week. Mason and FloJo plus probably Holmes ahead of him in wide positions 

[ViewsFromTheMiddle]

Radio Derby said 433.

I’m sure one of Thorne or Butterfield could have played half an hour if needs be 

[RamsFan10]

It’ll be 4-3-3 with either Evans or Johnson slightly further back and the other a bit more forward, i’d have thought.
