Rotherham (H) Pre-match Thread

[Delphinho]

As are Gomes and Richards.

Poveda, Matondo, Sandler and Bernabe not involved so almost certainly in contention for tomorrow

Edit: unless they're just injured

Poveda red card last game, some people on twitter saying Matondo is injured (don’t know if true), don’t know about Bernabe. Sandler will probably start together with Otamendi

Good, was just about to ask if there was any chance of matondo and bernabe being involved.

Hoping to see Garcia and Foden start and a few younger players on the bench ready to come on if we're winning

I think Pep will have some of the "stars" on the bench as insurance in case we’re losing.

That’s his usual policy.

KDB and Foden are musts.

The rest is academic and should be enough with kids and fringe.

Really looking forward to this one. It was either this or the Burton game for me, and 2pm Sunday works much better for taking the whole family along than going to a 7.45pm midweek game, so plumped for Rotherham.

Yep. The front/middle section of Colin Bell 3 is the true football purists place in the stadium. It has the best view by far, nobody stands up, and the sun, wind and rain are all behind you.

And yes, I am a qualified coach too!

Did you know that the “main stands” of most English football grounds are nearly always on the west side for that reason?

You are Stephen Fry & i claim my £10...

Most of the team picks itself:

............Muric

Walker......?.....Otamendi......zinchenko

...................gundogan..................

Mahrez......de Bruyne......Foden......Sane

......................Jesus

So I suspect if there’s only a slot for a kid it’s at centre half but if Pep wants to be safe he might play stones there. Zinchenko could go wide left and a young left back, or Danilo, slot in there.

Anyone else miss the days when the big boys used to twat the smaller teams?

What like Shrewsbury, Halifax and Wigan.
