I think it will be

Glover

v d Berg
McNair
Lenihan
Engel

Hackney
Barlaser

McGree
Gilbert
Jones

Crooks

I would be happy enough with that but would play Coburn instead of Crooks and probably play Silvera / Rogers instead of McGree/Gilbert. I'd also play Payero if he is likely to stay.

Hackney, Barlaser

Lath
 
I think it will quite a strong team (after playing quite a strang team in the last round), but use a lot of the players on the bench on Saturday, to keep everyone fresh.

Glover
Barlaser
Crooks
Coburn
Forss
McNair

If VDB is Ok to play he will and he could bring Coulson and Payero if fit.

Howson missed early games so play him too.

We also have also Kavanagh, Cartwright, Bilongo, Agyemang, Jones2, who he would be useful to have in the squad.

Smith is banned, Dijksteel and Clarke had not been in training with the first team.
 
Would like to see Payero and Hackney as runners either side of Barlaser in midfield - give Howson a rest - and Jones and Silvera (or Rodgers) either side of Lath. He probably won't change formation because it's a lower league side (and we're home to QPR next) but I'd like to see some solidity (in the form of bodies) in the middle of the park, as we can all see the problems there. It's important we break the habit of conceding first - as we have done in all five games so far
