I was delighted when the team news came through last night to see Bojan and Berahino starting in what was essentially a 4231, with a deep lying number 10.
Personally I would have started Etebo for Allen but as it turned out, Joe had his best game of the season.
But do you think Rowett will continue with this at Norwich, or is one of Bojan or Berahino going to inevitably lose their place to accommodate McClean in the starting XI?

I think in away games there’s not a chance they’ll both play

Should certainly stick with the starting lineup. We dominated large parts of that game and played some nice fluid football.
I'd hate to see us revert back to Mclean straight away.
That front 4-5 have so much movement in them which is what causes the problems for the opposition.

Toughest question of the week. McLean I think will be a sub because of that cast on his arm.

I'd like to see us going away from home and attempting to dictate the play from the get go. |

Looking at Rowett's interview, he certainly argued yesterday's XI was a specific response to the way Bolton were going to set up.
In an away game, I can see us going back to 4-3-3 with Etebo back in for Bojan, and McClean coming in for Berahino

Bojan will be dropped on Saturday for sure and replaced with Etebo....likewise Berahino for Maclean
Do I agree?, no but it will happen

But do you think Rowett will continue with this at NORWICH, or is one of Bojan or Berahino going to inevitably lose their place to accommodate McClean in the starting XI? I can't see McClean NOT starting against Norwich assuming he has no problems after last night's game. Rowett clearly rates him and, to be honest I can understand why. He wasn't close to my choice for a winger in the summer but I can see what Rowett sees in him. After a less than stellar start at Stoke his effort and "heart" is beginning to pay dividends - he may not be the classiest player on the books but he does contribute in a positive way in most games. I still think we need a third winger/wide player in the squad in January but McClean is a valuable member of the team. Norwich will be a tough away game and his spirit may be needed from the start with Berahino or (more likely) Bojan dropping to the bench. Although they play in different positions I think McClean brings the sort of grit and commitment to the team which Whelan did at his best in our early days in the Prem. |

Oh, I don't like that one. I'm going to take comfort from this one. "The biggest thing is I got bored putting impact players on at 2-0 down so wanted to start with them and thought we could gamble with them from the start." |

It’ll be big call from Rowett if he goes that way when you consider the opponents in the next 5 games.The 3 away games at Norwich,Sheff Utd and Bristol City and Home games against Birmingham and Middlesbrough,all decent sides.

I would imagine Bojan is a gonna for Norwich.
Rowett made it clear in the post match interview he was a 'horse for a course' to try to break down a defensive Bolton team.
I think Berahino has half a chance of starting.

I'd like to see it actually NOT work away before just assuming that it won't, if that makes sense Mutters? What if it does work? We could go on a proper roll, acting like a team that is fully intending on going straight back up. If it fails at Norwich, fair do's, change it the next time. But I definitely think it's an experiment worthy of being tried at least once and what better time to keep an unchanged side than after a convincing win and a clean sheet? |

At Derby Rowett was a bit of a flat track bully wasn’t he. Against the weaker sides he would put out an attacking side and they racked up some biggish wins. But against the better teams he would go with a much more cautious approach.
I don’t particularly mind him adapting the approach depending on the opposition As long as he is flexible with it and doesn’t resort to type regardless of the results/performance. If we take a more cautious approach and don’t win, he should be willing to go with the attacking approach instead, regardless of the opposition. Up until now he’s generally kept with a winning side and on that basis should see no changes for Saturday. There’s no guarantee it will pay off but if it doesn’t it would at least justify being more defensive in future tougher matches.

Not a chance in hell I wouldn't have thought. Bojan definitely won't start on Saturday, being replaced by Etebo and I think Mclean will come in for Saido. Rowett told us last night that Norwich are the form team in the league and like old Tony Pulis before him, we all know what that means. |

They should keep their place if Rowett wants to show the team is built on merit.
For once, it was a pleasure watching the likes of Woods, Ince and Bojan all play well and perform together.
Attack first, score, then bring on the grafters in the mid-second half to cause headaches and mop up whats left.

In an away game, I can see us going back to 4-3-3 with Etebo back in for Bojan, and McClean coming in for Berahino That is exactly what will happen in my opinion. Having played well for a good number of games, I expect a much more dour performance on Saturday as we strive to work hard and nick a result against the leagues form side (Rowett's words, not mine). |

He didn’t change a winning team earlier in the season so why would he start now. Our defence isn’t upto it as we know so we have to score more than the opposition do. Simple. Get Nello to do the team talk

Given Woods arrived around the time McClean was injured, is it a coincidence that we've looked a whole load more rounded attacking wise since McClean went out of the side?
Is it more down to Wood's arrival or something else entirely?
A combination of things perhaps?

Imo not a great idea to change a winning team, let players keep a shirt on merit & if their form drops, drop them.
Nothing to fear in this league, go all out for a win from the first whistle. Let them worry about us.

Expect a less attacking approach at Norwich, with Bojan possibly making way and being used off the bench later on.

Also think Rowett has some weird bee in his bonnet about Bojan, like he's less likely to use him because of the crowd loving him. It's a bit odd. |
