Ryan Wintle

Ryan Wintle will be banned for one game following his red card at Rotherham.

A red card for denial of a goalscoring opportunity results in a one game ban, unlike a red card for serious foul play - which results in a three game ban.

Thanks Ned,

I always thought a Straight Red meant a 3 Match Ban.

Good News

After BBM's October experiments, he looks like one of the undroppables. He gets through some workload and his sprints, especially defensive, will be a miss, but due a rest.

I think Joel can play the 6 comfortably for 1 game he's energetic good at breaking up play doesn't seem to get tired think we will be fine with a Joel, Robertson turbull duo for saturday

We will certainly miss Wintle at 6, but I expect Turnbull to take that position for Saturday.
He has plenty of experience and quality to do that job, so I'm not over concerned.

I doubt Turnbull will play as the six.

My guess would be Joel at six, Robertson at 8 and Turnbull at 10.

Chambers can also slot into 6

I think Roberson will take the deep role with Turnbull and Joel ahead of him

Either way, but I'd use Turnbull in midfield ahead of Chambers.
At the same time, I'd restore Chambers at centre back.
Certainly, without Wintle, we need Chambers authority to captain the team.

I would be amazed if BBM considered Joel for a 6 role.

His biggest attribute is mobility; 6 is a disciplined role. I can only see Robinson there. Robinson doesn't have Wintles ' speed that gets Chambers and NG out of a lot of trouble on the break.

:oops: :oops: Schoolbor error. Robertson. We were so good on Saturday because we are used to playing with 10 when Robbo starts

Rember at beginning of season when Robertson was injured BBM saying from his Man City days he thought Robertson was more a 6 than 8 or 10. Based on that I think AR will be in Wintles role!

Surely Robertson as the 6 then Turnbull and Joel ahead of him.
Hopefully Omari to start up front again

Better minutes per goal ratio than Salech though
