Away match - Westwood for Vokes in SD setup, secure the draw first!

As Clegghall for me.

Westwood for Hendrick assuming Wood isn’t fit from that team above.

Is there no alternative to Lennon?

Away match so Hendrick will play behind whichever striker is first choice/fit.

Taylor wide left away

Interesting idea especially with Lennon's seeming dislike being on that side of the pitch. JBG and Lennon both on the pitch at the same time doesn't really work but I suspect it's going to be the case. Do attack-minded left backs make a decent fist of playing further upfield? Probably not but I like the notion.

Whoever’s fit really isn’t it

It's something that was discussed in length a bit back, as he played wing back (yet spending the majority of his time as a winger) at times for Leeds. He can definitely do the role, but SD doesn't seem convinced as he wasn't even tried there in a friendly. I'd be surprised if he was suddenly going to start playing there now, in the first game of the Prem season.

Gareth Bale has made a few bob out of it.

Thing is jbg needs to play on the right and so does Lennon. Jbg is a better player. I suspect we will be keeping things tight at the saints. Hence suggesting Taylor wide left. Lennon is a decent option off the bench once their fans start moaning.

Tom Heaton is fit - will it be Heaton or Hart?

Given our shortage of wingers maybe we should go 352.

I think Colburn _Claret is probably not far off unless Wood is fit.
If so he may start with Wood up front, possibly with Barnes also or another
midfielder Westwood.

As usual, I will go along happily with Mr. Dyche's team selection, thought I do hope he doesn't play Hendrick in that wasted, number 10 role.

I think Wood is ok.

Hart (never thought I`d be typing that! )

Lowton Tarkowski Mee Ward

Gudmundsson Cork Hendrick Westwood Barnes (wouldn`t be adverse to Taylor)

Vokes

If Wood is still 'unavailable'
