Team tomorrow then...

I would play Uncle Rico's side.

I didn't think I would say this but McNair and Crooks contributed little against Cardiff and both were at fault for the first Cardiff goal. They need to get some zip and sharpness back. Possibly McNair's ankle was still having an affect which is more reason for him not to start.

Only reasons I would persevere with Crooks is that he links up well with Dijksteel and Jones on the right side......and he actually gets into the box and scores.

2 keepers, eh. Might just work ...
 
Formation should be the same, but with 2 up front. 1 isn't working.

GK Steffen/Roberts
RWB Jones
LWB Giles
RCB Dijksteel
CB Lenihan/Fry
LCB Clarke
CDM Howson/Luongo
RCM Crooks
LCM McGree
ST Muniz
ST Watmore/Forss

I'm comfortable with any of the swaps I've put in with my preference as the 1st of the 2.

I think Howson definitely needs replacing but I don't know anything of Luongo yet to know whether he is it. We'll see from substitute performances I think.

GK I don't mind either way but the distribution of Steffen edges it for me.

Lenihan/Fry I think are both good and the only position in the entire team where I think we have 2 good players that are as good as each other.

I'd prefer Forss over Watmore in the long run as he's a proper striker but Watmore did get a goal midweek so he deserves a shot. It should mean Forss will definitely get on as a sub because Watmore can only do 60 minutes anyway.

Depending on Luongos fitness and form in training then yes, that is exactly how I would go.

Mowatt and McNair deserve dropping. Watmore for his faults deserves to start as does Dijksteel.

Keeper is the only question for me. If Steffen is fit, he's in for me. He's simply a better keeper and his distribution is better.

Steffen is fit tbh, so I'd have him in. Roberts has done well but Steffen is by far the better keeper.

Jones had generally been poor, he's another one living on his incredible performances early/mid last season.
When does his turn come to be dropped for constant poor performance?

I would drop him. Even for our 2nd goal, he didn't even try to take on his man, just made a 3 yard pass for someone else to put the cross in.
 
I’m amazed that people are picking Luongo…the blokes hardly played for 2 years and has had no pre season. Surely he wouldn’t last long in a competitive game?
Steffen (if fit) comes in for me along with Djiksteel and Watmore. Robert’s, McNair and Mowatt on the bench.
 
With Steffen reportedly back in training and ready to play, does he go back in? I haven't watched much of Rotherham this season but I would be concerned with Steffen and their height and physicality when it comes to defending set pieces.

My team would be:

Roberts

Jones

Dijksteel
Fry
Clarke

Giles

Crooks
Luongo
McGree

Muniz
Watmore
 
I'd like to see this:-


...................................Roberts

....................Dijksteel.................Fry................Clarke
Jones....................................................................................Giles

..........................Crooks.................Howson

........................................McGree

.........................Muniz..................Forrs


The only reason I haven't picked Watmore ahead of Forrs is I think he's better making an impact later on
 
Steffen
Jones Dijksteel Fry Clarke Giles
Crooks Howson McGree
Muniz Watmore

Bring Luongo on in the second half and get some minutes in his legs.
Actually use Forss and/or Hoppe with more than a minute left.

Is that true? I thought I'd read on here he played nearly 30 games last season.
