I’ll be more than happy with a draw in this one. Think it’s gonna take quite a few clubs a few games to hit their stride. I’d expect a very different side 6 games in compared to this game.

With no further signings and no one back to fitness I'd be tempted to go 

             Marshall 

    MTW   Evans  Clarke

Byrne   Bird  Shinnie   Buchanan 

                  Sibley 

          Whittaker Mariott 

That or drop Evans for Knight and shuffle into a 4231

Donald Trump - Right back for Wigan having a medical at DCFC prior to signing -soft transfer embargo which charge from EFL being heard by the tribunal - now over because we won - you might be in Derby - the year is 2020  - as for your hearing ??????? 

Marple Cheshire, but Derbyshire is only a mile away so I should have stood over the border to hear everything Rams

Would definitely start Whittaker & I'd have Shinnie LW, in a role similar to that he played away at Birmingham in August - we need some presence up there.

Shinnie at left wing makes me slightly nauseous.

I was going to say switch Shinnie and Knight but then that attacking midfield three would be really lightweight. 

Really shows the lack of depth we have in forward areas, especially with this current crop of injuries.

I thought he did fine against Birmingham, scored that day & generally contributed. Also provides protection for Buchanan. Like @IslandExile says, we've got precious few options (unless we go real wildcard & put Tyree Wilson/another LW yoof there) until injuries clear up. Also think he's more effective there than Knight, who is better centrally.

Exactly the team I’d go for. Bring Rooney on later in the game where his fitness issues won’t show as much, maybe the last 45/30 mins. Whittaker on the right and knight on the left. 

Thought Whittaker looked confident against barrow. Tried to get at people, get passes into the box, pretty sure his driving run and pass led to Marriott’s chance against barrow. I like Whittaker and confidence is a forwards game. Get him playing (they’re isn’t anyone else) and get him scoring.

If we go 5-3-2, better to make it more like a 3-5-2...

Whittaker needs to play more centrally, he's not a winger, Byrne provides the width to help him out. I'd like to see Bird a little higher up the pitch at times too.

 

                            Marshall

           Te Wierik    Evans    Clarke
                                                 
Byrne                    Shinnie                     Forsyth

                   Bird  
                                         Knight   

    <- - -  - - - Sibley - - - - - -  - - - - - - ->  
                            Marriott

Think we are likely to see a back 3/5 for this one, with so many players out - Lawrence, Waggy, Holmes all out, expecting Rooney to only be fit enough for the bench. As much as I hate the phrase, I would take a point, but then again, a sudden change in manager might help us out?

Marshall; Te Wierik, Evans, Clarke; Byrne, Bird, Shinnie, Knight, Buchanan; Sibley, Marriott.

Roos, Wisdom, Forsyth, Whittaker, Rooney, Davies, Shonibare

wisdom dutchmike clarke Forsyth     

              Bird Shinnie 

Whittaker sibley.   Knight

                Marriott 

i wouldn’t start Whittaker but I think he will and Forsyth will start the season but during the game Buchanan could replace him if we change to 352. In the 2nd half
