Starting XI: Will we see another unchanged team for this afternoon's game at Hull?
Yesterday at 01:00 AM
Barring any late injuries, we think we will!
After a decent break we're back in league action today, and today marks the start of a run of six games - including four away - in 20 days.
During that time we'll certainly see some changes to the starting XI due to form, fitness and suspension, but for today I'm pretty certain we'll see an unchanged team from the XI that took on Leeds more than a fortnight ago.
Aaron Connolly and Alan Browne are the two pushing for a start, and I expect to see them both start in this run - but today they'll have to be content with a place on the bench. Tommy Watson is another who I reckon we'll see more of soon, and he's pushing Mundle and Roberts, which is what you want.
Goalkeeper: Anthony Patterson
Same again in goal today, and I think Patterson could have a busy afternoon, with Hull expected to attack from the off.
Defence: Trai Hume, Chris Mepham, Luke O'Nien, Dennis Cirkin
How long can Trai Hume go avoiding a yellow? We'll see, although the smart money's on 'not too long'. Mepham, O'Nien and Cirkin will complete the defence, and they'll all need to be solid today – I think if we can show the organisation at the back that we've shown for much of the season we can get a positive result today.
Midfield: Dan Neil, Jobe, Chris Rigg
After Alan Browne's thunderbolt to get a point against Leeds he could come into contention – Chris Rigg's played internationally over the break and Jobe was pulled out of an England squad due to injury, so there could be some concern then. All things being equal, however, I think we'll see an unchanged midfield three today.
Attack: Patrick Roberts, Wilson Isidor, Romaine Mundle
We'll be unchanged here - with Roberts, Isidor and Mundle providing a triple threat up front. Mundle's not troubled the scoresheet for a little while so I expect him to be among the goals sooner rather than later, and Aaron Connolly is pushing to be part of the starting three, too. He won't be today – although I would not be surprised to see him make an impression on the game from the bench – but with Isidor able to drop deeper too we can expect some rotation up front over the coming games.
