We won't see it, but:
Evans, Harper
Simpson, McLean, Stewart
Fryatt
I'd just like to see us one game try and surprise the opposition by throwing in a totally unexpected team selection. So long as Simpson is in his working hard mode him, Stewart and McLean can be switching around all over the place. Pacey and really hard to mark, and not all that different to last game in terms of the defensive lineup of the team. Possibly better because I'd fancy McLean or Simpson tracking back on the right to have more chance of helping Rosenior than Koren (purely due to pace). You've also got 3 forwards who've played wide so in their switching around they can still give the full backs and cms options for short passes and to get the ball wide.

Fryatt and Mclean upfront for me you have to let these two build a partnership it is not time to start messing around with the team to much. However i would stick Devitt and Stewart on the wings and get plenty of balls into the box. Or go with Stewart, Fryatt and Mclean with Koren, Harper and Evans as three CM's allowing Mclean and Stewart to drop back as wingers if needed.
Got to have Simpson, against QPR we were massively lacking a striker to just stay in the box and tap it in, Fryatt and McLean are like having ***an and Garcia up front. Neither really want to be the goalscorer they do all the hard work outside the area but won't go inside to get on the end of it, and that is exactly what Simpson does.
As for his partner, any 1 from Stewart/McLean or Fryatt. Fryatt has the best movement, McLean is the hardest worker and will be a good foil for Simpson, and Stewart has the trickery.
