Elmo's been out of form but Quinn makes us tick. You can't take him out of the midfield. He might have struggled in the last couple of games (everyone has) but he's a cut above the replacements we've got.
me neither. I think Hobbs will come in for Mcshane and Simspon for Boyd. Koren will probably be on the bench.
Boyd and Fryatt after saturday imo. But i suspect SB will look at the full weeks training and see who looks up for it. Anyone who cannot be up for saturday needs to retire now ffs. Agreed.
It's probably too late now to start tinkering with the system, but if Elmo is a bit leggy at this stage of the season why not partly take away his defensive duties and play 4-3-3 with him on the right of the front 3.

Oakwell is history. It's about character now. It's also about having a potential matchwinner in the team. Koren needs to play.
Thought that at the start but in recent months Brady has been outstanding in his defensive duties. The number of times he has used his pace to get back and cut across defenders.
That's not the worrying bit, it's when he's got to stand his ground and make a tackle with someone running at him when trouble starts, because his timing of tackles isn't the best. He'll have to do that type of thing a lot more as a full back then he does as a wing back.
