Kellyman as a striker.. interesting. Assumed that Robinson would start.

Like the team though :thumbright:

Need to keep the ball on the floor should not be too hard as very few of our balls get that high :laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6:

No actual striker to start then, or am I missing something ?

Wow shocked to see Robinson on the bench. Unless he’s injured that’s a massive shame for him. Doesn’t get the chance to bed himself into the game from kick off

I mentioned this yesterday I thought he might go with Kellyman up top as he played there quite a lot for villa

He's stated before Kellyman can play across the front 4

Sure, BBM has put out a line up like this before at home? With no Salach and Robinson .Can not remember the game though. :old:

Thankfully Barnsley are dreadful away

Feel a bit sorry for Robinson.

Looks like BBM isn’t a fan of him at all.

Should have more than enough for Barnsley :ayatollah:

BBM can’t fancy Davies

That’s well out of left field, Ned; but I’m sure someone suggested that might happen earlier and well done to them! :clap:

Robinson not ‘injured’ or ‘carrying a knock’ to my knowledge, so it has to be tactical, and it’s a brave move from BBM, who for me, is experimenting with an option that has been mooted previously with maybe the player nearest to Yousef Salech in stature up front?

It’s a decent team selection and an interesting evening ahead!

We just have to trust in BBM! :ayatollah:

Wow that line up has really surprised me!! Like others have said previously unless Robinson is carrying a knock, that's pretty much telling him and Isaac Davies that I don't trust you as a 9 in my team. Both players have been waiting for runs in the team so I doubt this selection landed well :shock:

I’d like to have seen Davies as the striker tonight as I don’t see Robinson as an out and out centre forward and not sure that he has 90 minutes in him.

Maybe a good option as a sub as usual though.

Kellyman will be interesting though as I haven’t been overly impressed with him so far ….

I'm not surprised. He's not very good.

So no Yousef Salech, as expected after his hospital visit following the game on Saturday, while Dylan Lawlor, who was taken out of the squad minutes before kick-off with a knee injury at the weekend, is also absent.

Omari Kellyman looks as through he will lead the line in Salech's stead, leaving some fans to scratch their heads over the omission of Callum Robinson, who finds himself on the bench once again.

David Turnbull returns for a spot on the bench, too, while Chris Willock comes in on the wing.

Will Fish replaces Gabriel Osho at centre-half.

He certainly has a lot to prove if he’s to make it here long term. I don’t think he’s a winger.
