In his post match interview JS stated that players who’d sat on the bench recently would be involved against Wednesday and Oxford.
One move I’d quite like to see is either Hayden or Field do a man marking job on Bannen and completely take him out of the game (bar free kicks around our box). In a 10 v 10 game they’d miss Bannen significantly more than we would Field. Smyth and Kolli could also do with a run out at some stage. [Post edited 22 Sep 14:57]

There will not be many, if any, changes against Wednesday. And all this talk about Dunne and Morgan - madness/shocking - wtf that comes from I do not know!!!!
I certainly do not see the keeper or the back 4 being changed, nor the the two strikers, Madsen, and is he going to rest Vale for the reward of getting the winning goal - I doubt it???. So he has only got two others, one is Saiko who was many posters MoM & Varane.
Unless players have minor knocks then I fail to see why the Manager would make changes and Varane may have a knock.
Also, all this posters talk about Bannan will be very brief indeed during the week during training/opposition briefs. All the talks will be focused on QPR and winning the match which imho we have a good chance if we play well, but not easy. |
If only you were the clubs manager Gazza, what with your experience of being a one time sub in the Isthmian South Central league. We can only dream. | | | |

I’m not entirely convinced Dunne is fully fit, he looked laboured at times against Stoke plus Morgan has played right back more than his recent conversion to midfield. He wasn’t great against Coventry but who was? The other time he played there for us he was very good. |
The Dunne situation is interesting. Obviously he is our captain and he has a significant role to play, so won't be dropped. However, from being 'Mr. Consistency', when others were all over the shop last season, he is the one player who has not really stood out in the last three games. He has had two tough opponents in the last two games, 2 of the better left wingers in the league, so that may be part of it, and tbf, he has held his own. But I am inclined to agree with you Beckenham, that he may not be fully over his early season injury. Certainly seems to be playing 'within himself', rather than the usual 'all action' approach. | | | |

Said the same at the weekend, looks like Dunne’s playing with an injury and it’s limiting mobility and his heading. Maybe the hip.
Better ask Ben than me, but it looks a lot like Cooky playing last season on painkillers.
Whatever drugs they are, they fired him up as a side effect this week. More please, Vicar. |  |

Keep the same team for Wed away. Then assess the side for the midweek home game.
I know there is a temptation to change the side to placate Bannan, but I would say let them worry about us. If its not working, and Bannan is getting the freedom of the park, then change it.

I'm sure there will be changes over the three fixtures as Nourry stated at the Fans Forum that one of the problems last season was that we didn't rotate enough.
That statement has stuck with me as I think a lot of supporters (including myself) thought we rotated too much! | | | |

Personally Gazza, I wouldn't make any changes for Saturday, but I don't think you can look at that match in isolation.
IF he plays the same team, how many changes does he make for the Oxford match & then for the trip to Bristol City which is less than 70 hours later?
I've no idea how you go about prioritising the individual games & would like to see changes kept to a minimum for all three, especially as we then have 2 weeks before our next game.
Whether our coaching & medical staff will do that is another matter. | | | |

issue last season we didnt have anything we could rotate , most of the time half the players were either injured of playing with an injury , we do have a stronger squad this season so we could shuffle a few around maybe , id bring hadyn in alongside varanne with madson having a rest . be nice to have another player in the middle againt bannon sat . |  |

We have a much younger squad now, so the need for rotating during the 3-game weeks is less, imho. Its the 30+ guys who tend to struggle when there is a short turn-around, the young guns far more capable of managing it.
I would expect small tweaks and/or changes that are like-for-like. Field, Cook, Smyth etc might get starts. And depending on the game situation, subs starting as soon as HT.
Impressed by the minutes Kone is making at the moment, not often you see a striker play so many 90 min games consecutively. |  | | |

I wouldn’t drop our Captain to shoehorn Morgan in out of position. |
Morgan man to man on Bannon might be fun. He could chase him all over the pitch.
He's only dangerous with time and space, those young legs could see him retire early |  | | |
| Team v Sheff W on 12:22 - Sep 23 with 1089 views | dmm |
If you bring Morgan in, who do you take out? I can't see any of the current 11 worth sacrificing just to man mark Bannon. |  | | |

It is a 'tough call' for the Manager, 100%, but I am a 'one match at a time' person, rightly or wrongly. We win at Wednesday, the momentum continues, confidence grows and makes opposition teams think and we move up the league table. We loose, against Wednesday, whom are having very difficult times atm, then it can all change. My line and preference is play the Team/Players/System that we have been doing pretty well with but what do I know, just a full time supporter like all of us.
As for the Oxford midweek game, lets look at that on Sunday/Monday at the training ground and see how we are. Likewise after Oxford, potentially, the tricky match at Ashton Gate. Drain the players and let them have two weeks off for the International break & then 'back on it'!! Sounds easy, right 
I get it about the medical staff but I think again, rightly or wrongly, these blokes are far too over cautious, proper softies. | | | |

The fun is primarily getting 3 points and playing well, any other fun does not matter. | | | |

I don't think we need to change the side at all for Wednesday away. The lads will have had a full weeks rest, so assuming everyone is fresh to go, we don't fix what isn't broken!
Yes, Bannen is a concern, but surely you can ask Burrell to drop into the '10' when we're out of possession and harass the toupee wannabe if/when he gets close to the ball?! |  | | |

It would have to be Madsen, then Morgan could help in the attack when we had the ball.
This could be a neat option as long as Morgan stays on him when we are without the ball. |  |

You're right, Bannon is our Kryptonite. He plays a deep lying play maker role which seems to make him more difficult to get at but apart from that, I don't understand why. |
Maybe spread the responsibility for closing him down to where he is on the pitch? Burrell when he drops deep and Varane when he is in our half, this wouldn't disrupt our own game plan too much and negate an identified risk. |  |

The Bannan PTSD is real in this thread. He's 36 in a couple months, he can't keep getting away with it SURELY
I'd just hope we play to our strengths and keep the momentum going. The current system and players are working | | | |

One of life's mysteries for me is how Sheff Wed are so exceptionally poor with Bannon in that side. I would expect them to be sweeping all before them!
Honestly can't imagine that Stephan is losing much sleep concerning himself with Bannon. Although, maybe if PSG had had Bannon in that side Stephan would never have tasted European glory | | | |
| Team v Sheff W on 18:34 - Sep 23 with 369 views | Watford_Ranger |
Let them worry about us. Play with the intensity we have, Nardi catches the odd cross and Kone does what he does then we should be fine. Complacency is probably more of a threat than Bannan. | | | |

I'd go man to man on him. Bannan seems to be our Kryptonite. Take him out of the game we've a much better chance of winning. |
Set our attack dog (Mbengue) on him. Row Z you go little man. Annoy us no more. | | | |
