Team for Rotherham

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

What it says on the tin.

Is Leitner going to be fit?

And if not, Vrancic or Trybull? I’d go for Mario myself.

Such is the competition for places in the team, Cantwell may be pushing for a starting place too.

                       Krul

Aarons Zimmermann Klose  Lewis

               Tettey  Trybull

Buendia   Stiepermann  Cantwell

                      Pukki

Vrancic and Hernadez would be very useful from the bench later in the match.

This but with Vrancic in instead of Trybull.

Rotherham, more so than Hull will simply try and stifle us and stop us scoring. Breaking a team down is the next test for Farke and city now that the league has had the opportunity to have a good look at us. To do this we need all our most creative players on the pitch and Vrancic has a great eye and reading of the game.

Obviously Mo straight back in if fit

If Leitner is still out, I'd expect Trybull to start, as he better suits the early phases of the game management strategy to which we now almost always adhere. If and when Farke feels we have established control while still not having gone ahead, then I'd expect to see Vrancic. Same applies to Hernandez and Cantwell i.e. Hernandez to start.

Just seen a stat about 2/3 of Rotherham's 18 goals this season coming from set pieces... we need to be on our guard but they do concede too, so it could be another high scoring game.

[Branston Pickle 3,634]

Rotherham are going to be difficult to break down, and having Mo fit would be a big plus for that task - if he's not then I'd probably plump for Mario.  They will certainly be a threat from set pieces + long throws, as Millwall were - hopefully we'll have learned a thing or two from that game.

Any news when McLean is back? 

[Woodman 92]

No Mo or Onel tomorrow... both hopeful for Bolton next week.

Two from Trybull, Vrancic, Marshall and Cantwell

DF said he was '2-3 weeks away from consideration' in the pre-Swansea press conference last Friday.

It's worth noting that Rotherham are unbeaten in 5 including a 0-0 draw at Middlesboro.  So we can't expect them to be pushovers.

[Branston Pickle 3,634]

I think one problem might be dealing with the expectation that it'll be easy, as it almost certainly won't be.  It has the makings of a classic 'banana skin' game if we aren't careful and drop our game level at all.
