The Blackpool players have arrived at the Keepmoat.

Only eight games in but this already feels like a big game. Fascinated to see what Grayson does with the team/formation. pic.twitter.com/RDaLwg4PFn

I'm expecting a couple of surprises in Blackpool's line-up...

It'll be confirmed in 5 minutes.
— Matt Scrafton (@matt_scrafton) September 17, 2019

Well, it's fair to say I didn't expect this line-up...

Two changes from Saturday:

IN: Matty Virtue and Ryan Hardie
OUT: Sullay Kaikai(!) and Armand Gnanduillet

XI: Alnwick, Edwards, Heneghan, Tilt, Feeney, Husband, Spearing, Virtue, Thompson, Hardie, Nuttall

Grayson's sticking with with a back 3.

I agree the midfield needed an extra body in there (hence sacrificing an attacker) but I'm surprised that both Nuttall and Hardie get the nod in attack ahead of Kaikai

To sum up:

- Grayson keeps faith with same system
- First league starts for Virtue and Hardie
- Just two league goals in the team (Edwards and Spearing)
- Kaikai and Gnanduillet dropped (7 league goals between them)

I think it's fair to say it's risky. Let's hope it pays off... https://t.co/Be1TjMgWu0

Analysis

Well, it's fair to say no-one saw that coming.

That's two changes from Saturday's 3-0 humbling against MK Dons - Sullay Kaikai and Armand Gnanduillet dropping to the bench with Matty Virtue and Ryan Hardie elevated into the starting line-up for their first league starts of the season.

Ollie Turton remains on the bench, while Joe Nuttall keeps his place in attack.

What do we make of that then?

Why he's kept that defence I've no idea. Im pleased that Virtue and Hardie come in. If Turton had replaced Edwards I'd be ok with it. But we are weak on the left again too.

With a 4-3-3 he could have played any 3 of Nuttall, Hardie, Feeney, and Kaikai up front.

All I can say is that he's the man on the spot who's paid to call the shots, and he has.

Agree Voy, seems strange to keep 3 CHs.

Dropping 2 players who were allowed to be marked out the game because those around them were incapable of making things happen. If we lose again tonight there's serious question marks over Grayson for me. https://t.co/qZtfCAS5q0

Shocked at that line up myself... Nuttall shouldn’t be near the starting 11 he was very poor Saturday! Hope he proves me wrong tonight😂😂
— Deano (@DeanSmith44) September 17, 2019

Would have put kaikai out on the left with Feeney on the right. But we are all armchair managers. Do think Hardie deserves a start though.

Concede 3 at home to mk franchise and the 3 defenders and holding midfielder doesn’t change. Am I missing something ....

Crazy really.. I don’t get it at all. I don’t think the formation is working either! But we will see what happens tonight🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, Gnanduillet on the bench.

I suppose the plan, eventually, if it all works out, will be to have a front 3 of Hardie, Nuttall, and Kaikai.

Very nearly.

Tenacious from Hardie who nearly fashions a goal.

Nuttall working the Doncaster keeper.

The midfield is much more competitive.

The addition of Virtue has shored it up. The pressing is better and the midfield is fighting for control of the match.
