This time last year we had drew 0-0 with Birmingham in the same home fixture, but now both sides are determined to score - and score more than their opponents! I think this will be a nervy game for both the players and the fans, being a genuine '6 pointer', but surely the Rs will come out on top? I am sure Dave & James are going to have their ideas, but here is my guess at the Starting XI:
Begovic
Dunne Cook JCS Paal
Field Colback
Smyth Andersen Chair
Dykes
I think Dunne has done nothing to take the RB slot away from him, and that Back 4 is the best we can produce this season. I have included Colback for that extra level of 'stiffness', but I was sorely tempted to start Andersen there as a more attacking option (with Hodge in his place in attack).... I have started Smyth ahead of Willock purely on the basis I hope he is going to be more direct in his play, whilst better at defending; but Frey or Dykes or Armstrong as 'point man' is a hole that none of them properly fills.
