Saturday should see a few changes tothe side. We are just a ittle stale and unable again to turn possession into goals. There are some energy levels looking low for the likes of Shippers, Westbrooke, McCallum.

We can't keep a good players like Allen on the bench and then expect him to turn it on when called in.
O'Hare makes a big difference in support for the attack withhis runs and through balls round he back of defences.
Godden has had little service, and while I'm not for wholesale changes that could disrupt the side think Max deserves an opportunity. It could be a change in formation with two up top. But after two clean sheets and a back three exemplorary what would you do?
It's a conundrum MR's faces.

Think we may see O'Hare,Allen and Mason start this Saturday

I think we will see a similar side on Saturday and then changes for the cup game and the next couple of birmingham games

He rarely makes a lot of changes - last night was hardly a terrible result and we did beat Doncaster the game before

I’m a bit surprised Allen hasn’t had a run though. He had a cracking game against Ipswich in the cup and crossed for Shipley’s header against Shrewsbury

We were led to believe he was going to be the difference but even though Shipley and Westbrooke haven’t been very good recently he can’t still get a look in

season isn't over yet. He can still more than play his part.

We've kept 4 clean sheets on the bounce, so it must be hard to change much when you are setting up with a 'can't lose' structure . We're often either a 3-3 away team or a 0-0 away team ! Fine margins, but I'm sure MR and co will get it right. Win against Bristol Rovers and it will have looked another cracking week.

Now is the time for Jaime Allen I’m certain he was brought in to play with Kelly but got
Injured so Walsh was drafted in he’s highly regarded sure I read championship clubs were looking at him.

Very good result last night against an uncompromising side . The same 11 will be allowed to play a bit more against Bristol. Rightly or wrongly they try to play football and we know how to beat them.

cc84..didn't Robin's draft in Walsh from BC,as Kelly picked a injury early into the season?
Seem to remember no Kelly v b/pool and Donny!!!
He started off playing Kelly's deeper holding role??

Didn't Shipley score the winner againgst Doncaster in the previous game?

I'd bring in O'Hare, Allen and Mason for Shipley, Westbrooke and McCallum this weekend which then also gives the option to bring in Pask for either Dabo or McFadzean, Biamou for Godden and possibly let Allen drop into Kelly's position and bring one of Shipley/Zain back (and get JJ on the bench) for either the replay or the Bolton game.

But we definitely have to start rotating if we want to keep our challenge going. If MR keeps opting for an unchanged team we'll either see burnout (which I think we're starting to see in Shipley and McCallum already) or injuries and have players replacing them who haven't got many first team minutes in their legs and not up to speed.

Alllen o hare to come in

No other changes for me
I'd like to see us try the two up top from the start. Stick O'Hare behind Biamou and Godden for the full 90.

At least Robins has a choice.

I've never been a fan of Shipley talent wise but he's really played his part this season and generally works his ass off. Hopefully he's having a blip in form and just needs a short rest or a couple of bench appearances.
