    Hopefully Power is at RB with 09 in midfield with Grant.

    Even though Twitter says 3-4-3, I'll go with 4-3-3. Power at right back, Leadbitter, O'Nien and Gooch in midfield with Wyke in the middle, McGeady right and AOB on the left

    We have no defenders on the bench...

    Any injuries and we are stuffed.

    I am hoping Vokings gets his act together. What is wrong with fadz

    We have a ridiculous amount injured. We are only playing 3 on the pitch and it's debatable Vokins is actually a defender so you could argue we only have 2

    If we do play 4 at the back I can see McGeady and Gooch being out wide and O'Brien just behind Wyke. Twitter saying 3-4-3 has put doubts in my mind we will be though

    I'm guessing the defensive lineup and lack of subs is out of necessity rather than Johnson thinks it's mint. Luke can always drop back into defence if anyone has to go off.

    Looks like that godawful 4-2-2-2 to me.

    LJ might have just thought f*ck it I havent got a defence so we will press and attack and rely on Charlie hitting his usual hat trick.

    Hopefully by 5pm all talk of formations will be a distant memory and we have another 3 points in the bag.

    Just feels like a massive game for us this. Haway the lads!!!

    Yeah - just noticed that - we don't usually publish the formation.
    Maybe:

    After 4-3-3 worked so well last week it's madness to change formation, even accounting for injuries

    Vokins won't be a centre half, I'll be amazed if he is

    Not sure on the formation but some bizarre selections in there. O’Brien is generally useless even if he does pop up with the odd goal now and then. Leadbitter is past it and whilst a good option to bring on in the second half shouldn’t be commanding a start at his age IMO.

    From what I've read on forums it's what Johnson does according to fans of his previous clubs. Loves to change things all the time

    Just realised I've clocked onto SAFSEE to find out what Danny Collins thinks ...

    ... I didn't pay attention at first but he really knows his stuff imo.

    We all know it is a squad game and at times we would have injuries. Its where LJ needs to earn his stripes and Im sure he will. Good news is though that every other club will face the same issues at some point in their season too.

    Just hope they get out there today and press high up the pitch.

    HAWAAAAAAAAAY

    Im going for a very nervy 1-2 to the lads

    O'Brien has been outstanding recently, Leads got us through to Wembley - short memory or what? <doh>
