My money is on

Ruddy

Laird
Sanderson
Aiwu
Buchanan

James
Sunjic

Bacuna
Pritchard
Miyoshi

Stansfield

I don't think we have much choice at the back with Bielik and Roberts injured. Midfield pair is just pure running. Right footer on the right wing and left footer on the left. Pritchard in order to be a bigger threat at set pieces and then Stansfield for his energy as well.

It would have been Juke up top with Stansfield behind if Juke was fit and maybe Roberts over Aiwu as well.

I fully expect if players are fit

That would be horrific.
Soaking up non-stop pressure for 90 minutes for our last 8 games won't work.

He played the same at Millwall tbf but they would have called it a 3-4-3 so we probably see something similar

This.

In any case, I think James will be played more centrally from now on.

Paik Sunjic

Hogan

I think Miyoshi Dembele and Bacuna will be impact subs.

Roberts? I am sure Rowett would of watched the Millwall game

Very Rowett-esque team. I’d have put Gardner in over Paik but I can’t bring myself to do it

First game ?

Don’t be ridiculous, Rags.

…Dozzell can’t play against QPR, put Bielik there instead

Dugarry21

Isn't Juke supposedly done for the season?

Think so. Incidentally wasn't it Rowett that brought Juke to the club initially to pretty much a Meh reaction on here ?
Decent deal he did for us there.

Rowett was having a laugh with Juke yesterday. Not that that tells us anything.

My reaction to his signing remains meh.

I'll never understand fans desperation to play full-backs higher up the pitch because they're an attacking full back. It's a completely different position, I can't see Laird as a right winger.

I think he'll push Paik wide at the expense of Miyoshi.

Bielik in for James if fit enough. M Roberts to play instead of Aiwu if he's fit enough

Each to their own FB.But whilst I don't subscribe to the "Club Legend " opinion like many on here, I do think he has been a really good asset to the club over the last eight years.
