Is the only reason I can think of Stevenson being ahead of Sarr because the former is the only one to play Wing-Back on the left other than Page
Agreed. It's still a weird team for me though. If you want a wingback why not Marshall? He's not perfect there, but then neither is Stevenson, and Marshall has really improved in recent weeks.
I'm also kind of confused by Lapslie being picked ahead of Reeves. It makes more sense in a 3-5-2, and I thought Lapslie had his best league game for us against Burton, but I still feel he's raw and can get caught out at times.

Yeah Bowyer's comments post Burton were strange with Lapslie... i.e. Was almost moaning about his lack of positional discipline yet complementing him at the same time, yet because of that I thought he'd end up being dropped for todays match - With regards to Marshall I guess he's just unlucky in the respect that he'll struggle to get ahead of Solly in that defensive / wing back role

I agree with Bowyer about his lack of positional discipline.
With Marshall, he's left-footed, I think he's looked better on the left wing, why not try him at LWB?

He is very, very two-footed. But naturally left-footed I'm almost certain. His delivery with his left has certainly been better for us.
I don’t reckon he’d trust the kid Stevenson at left back of a four just yet, so it’s gotta be 3-4-1-2. Which looks suited for me.
I reckon it's still Bowyer's regular diamond ...... he's brought Stevenson in because of his willingness to get up and down the line, to give width to the diamond when attacking.

Jay Spearing misses out due to injury.

Very young team, not convinced by that midfield, they struggled away at Burton.
*goes out of his way to not pick Lord Naby*
Over to the match thread we go...
