Well against a team wuth the most set piece goals in the league we have decided to play 4 cbs which kind of makes sense, hopefully means we are even more of a threat on our own set pieces.

Also, with the players being rested it seems like Rooney might be putting alot of his eggs in the Coventry basket.

Harsh on Bird as I felt he was one of the better performers against Forest. A tad harsh on Knight as well considering his consistency this season. Maybe both dropped to add more height to the team? Kazim rested?

Rooney's lineup:

Roos
Mengi   Edmundson   Wisdom   Clarke   Buchanan
Jozwiak   Baningime   Shinnie   Sibley
Gregory

Personally, I'd put Wisdom at RWB, Edmunson CB and Mengi RCB.

But to get a set piece we would need to be in their half........

I'd say guess at 

Roos 

Mengi edmondson Clarke

Wisdom baningime Shinnie Buchanan

Jozwiak Gregory sibley 

 

I guess maybe Mengi and Wisdom swapped? Wisdom actually did well as a wing back under rowett when we had a late season resurgence with 3 at the back to race towards the playoffs (we beat Cardiff I think, the night when Jerome made Morrison his bitch ?

No Byrne and no kazim are the big surprises for me just because the delivery and goal threat from those 2 has been so good.

Hope it's a Rooney master stroke ?

Games are coming so quick that it's no surprise that he is rotating the team.  Got to look at the bigger picture and losing someone like CKR to a long term injury is a bigger risk when playing him in so many games.

Definitely resting some of our better players here, but interested to see what Baningime can offer. If Mengi is at right back then I hope we’ve been teaching him how to cross the halfway line in training.

More likely Mengi rwb and Wiz in the middle of the back three?
