    Surprised he has changed both fullbacks. Understand resting page though after a year out.

    Thought Magennis or Mavididi would start.

    Nope 4-4-2 with Konsa (RB) and Dasilva (LB) as the full backs

    I would guess Bowyer is 'tweaking' the way we're set up today - perhaps to negate/take advantage of the Rotherham set up?

    Thought the official match thread was much better . More depth, insight and err......officialness.

    Remember when Richard Wood played CB for us, he's good and solid in the air - but no pace and the turning circle of a double decker bus.
    If we get at him on the floor, he could be vulnerable.

    Come off it, Bowyer won’t be dictated by anyone. I think it’s as simple as Page needed a rest so Dasilva starts. Dijksteel hasn’t been involved in many first team games so to play twice in quick succession is hard. We also might be trying to deal with Smith better and Konsa being a centre back might help support that better than Dijksteel.

    He has been fantastic and I’m disappointed he isn’t starting but I don’t think it’s anything more than just pure rotation for tactical and fitness reasons.

    Hope we just go for it today. We should have too much pace for Rotherham. Bowyer I’m sure will have people knowing their positions far better than Robinson ever did. 2-0 home win again - COYR!

    Apparently somebody had a casual chat with big Josh this morning saying this 442 stuff is good and Josh replied 'some people couldn't be told'. File that alongside Bowyers 'my way' mantra.
