    What are peoples thoughts for our starting lineup against Bristol Rovers?

    I think there will be a lot of changes, think Zola will make the most of having a large squad.

    Bond

    Pudil
    Cassetti
    Angella
    Brown
    Faraoni

    Smith
    Murray
    Battocchio

    Ikpeazu
    Acuña

    I put Cassetti in because I think he will be on the bench Saturday if Ekstrand is fit.

    Could use it as an opportunity to get the first choice defenders playing together. For example play Angella, Ekstrand and Doyley. I'd start Acuna and Fabbrini up front but I reckon the rest of the team is pretty much what I would have. It might even be a decent chance to find a back up formation because I think 3-5-2 might get found out by the rest of the championship sooner or later, try out 4-3-3 perhaps?

    He (Zola) has a fair few people to keep happy. I expect some rotation and this rotation to continue into the season.

    Unfortunately for the league games at least, I'd prefer some consistency in the team. However, how is he going to keep them all happy on the bench?

    Some rotation is inevitable, esspecially with some of the internationals we have that could not be too happy getting splinters...

    I just hope Bond, Brown and Smith all start tbh, otherwise these guys will think what's the point in even being at the club.

    Well Bond will know he is a strong 2nd choice whilst Brown is back up and Smith an exciting youngster alongside Murray but yes I do agree it would be good to give them game time.
