Packing the midfield and Telford up top on his own.

I got the impression so far that he is useful with another striker for intricate link up play.

Also no Gotts = even less attacking players on the pitch.

Not sure about the lineup but PW will have his reasons for it

Hmmm not sure how this is going to Pan out all depends on who links up with Telford!

Packing the midfield might keep Telford in the box rather than dropping into midfield to link up play

Hope they prove me wrong, but I can't agree with that line up, no aqua or gotts and I'm assuming Whitfield is injured if not then he should be starting as well, how the hell can Telford start before any of them? Now go out and prove me wrong please.

Four games in 10 days. It's called squad rotation. Wild said at the start of the month he would need everyone in October. He is being true to his word. In Wild we trust.

Maybe we will be pushing 2 of these midfielders quite high and close to Telford (Spence and Foley?) and keeping 2 (Campbell and Stephenson?) behind them.

Will be interesting and we have the players on the bench to change it up if needed

In that case we've been rotating things since August.

Really struggling to work out what the formation is here - it's time to give the same two strikers a run of games together to allow a partnership to develop, alternating things game in game out hasn't exactly provided bucketloads of goals has it?

I'm sure we will see Acquah at some point tonight

Might be part of his plan - bring him on when they have tired legs and batter them with his strength and pace
