Accrington vs Rochdale postponed already due to a waterlogged pitch. A local derby too, so it's not as if they had a take an early decision to help the away fans!
Bury vs Cambridge in L2 also off as are a number of NLN games
Not at all surprised the rain in the North West has been pretty frequent over the last week and heavy downpours forecast for this afternoon.
I would go: ..........Phillips Dijksteel Bauer Sarr Purrington ..............Cullen ......Reeves.......Aribo ..............Fosu ....Taylor.....Vetokele
Take no risks with the injured lads, though it seems Aribo has travelled. That said, I also like FA's team with Reeves at the tip of the diamond. I'm just not convinced that against big physical teams Lapslie adds all that much more steel.
Bristol played midweek as well, so no reason why we would be more tired than them. Indeed they had their Checkatrade semi last week so have played on 2 consecutive Tuesdays
Dry so far in Bristol , the sun occasionally making an appearance.
Rain by half time. Open terrace.
Rovers on form. Harris-Clarke a battering ram upfront, with Clark, Lines and Sercombe playmakers. Number 10 Nicholls flatters... Upson and back line pretty chunky, but can got behind. Holmes-Dennis their best player recently with width and crosses ... resilient but beatable
According to the Sun (no, don't laugh), Charlton's penalty against Burton was their 10th league goal, scored from the spot this season, first club to reach that total in all 4 top leagues

Faffing windy here ... Come on Addix
0-2 (probably will be Niz-all)
According to the club preview, Holmes-Dennis is out for this one.
Went last year . Probably the best I've seen Reeves play , but the finishing was poor with Kaikai , Ajose and Zyro in the team . Think we can keep the winning run going this afternoon .
I would t jump to any conclusions on the changes - we know there have been a few players carrying knocks and a there’s been a virus going around the team.
I think its the right call from Bowyer to make so many changes
We looked leggy against Burton and with a two week break until our next game its giving the likes of Pratley | Vetokele | Pearce to get some minutes ... Hell we've still a long way to go in this season and Bowyer might be making a mistake where we lose today but we cant keep relying on the same eleven else we'll burn out before we even get to the Play-Offs
Not worried about the defence it's midfield that's the problem. No Williams Fosu or Aribo.......so no-one who can run with the ball. Reeves is too lightweight & Pratley goes backwards. Expect to see a 0 after our name come 5pm.

Not surprised that Sarr is being rested so long as its nothing more than that as he's done nowt to be dropped
Actually wondered if Bowyer would do that when watching us play Burton on Saturday

OS suggesting we may play 3 CBs
