From what DF said after Fleetwood we could expect some rotation, possibly Mason and Whiteman back perhaps.
Marquis on his own up front is a talking point too, so perhaps he might find another runner to distract the defenders on the break and hold Copps in reserve to introduce later. Mandeville must be feeling a bit frustrated and it would be interesting to see what Beestin can do starting a game.
I am still thinking about my prediction.
DPL vs Wigan Athletic

That is sad for AW.
With JM being in such poor form i thought that AW just needed a chance to stake a claim for a place and he could come in and do a decent job for the team.
He got some stick for an alleged bad season in L2 but in reality he scored 11 goals in just 25 starts which i reckon is pretty good.
This season when he has managed to get on the pitch he has looked more likely to score than Marquis.

Agree.
New striker on loan?

It seems plain that the current playing strength (which excludes injured players obviously) could not match Wigan and despite my earlier ironic comments we do struggle against the better teams, but maybe not always for the same reasons. "Learning lessons" may bring improvement, but not a complete cure.
Lawlor annoys me as does Kongolo who does not use his obvious skills sufficiently positively. Marosi has had a bad deal and will be off to shine for some other club if he is not allowed to compete fairly for the goalkeeping job.
The bottom clubs are catching up on us now and even one further loss could see us in the relegation zone.

I think it very sad for DFto say he was planning to change things up front this week wen he now has very little options.

Uthred, the Viking who, true to his nom de plume, is ruthlessly accurate in his predictions scored a stunning 10 to keep well ahead of the rest of us. Small Azza, another unafraid to go with an un-wished-for outcome, also hit the mark on the "scorer", Mr Nobody, and the result, so well done to both of you. None of the rest of us walked tall on our good fortune to guess the crowd fairly accurately, but we nevertheless have to be grateful for the points.
