I’d go with:

Jowitt
Walmsley
Pratt
Thornley
McGillvray
Kay
Lino
Atoni
Hood
Bowden
Ashurst
Pitts
Cozza

Doyle
Bain/Boothroyd
Rodwell
Uele

Lino isn't in the squad mate.

Be interesting to see is he goes Kay / Lawford in the halves or puts Max at 6 and Walmsley or booth at FB.

Surely this is the type of game we play Lawford?

I dont see the point in moving 2 players out of position when we have someone who already plays that position

I agree, I was more questioning who partners Lawford..

Listening to Powell he sees Kay as a utility that can fit in half back easily.
He did mention the option of Max had been discussed so he knows he can play there but as said, Max moving has more impact on the team.

Booth isn't in the squad either.

Went to a Swinton game once, it was a cup match mebbe Regal Trophy, dunno can't remember.
The clubhouse/bar was pretty much the back line of the in-goal area, it had windows with drunks hanging out carrying on and sloshing beer all over the gaff...lol
Terrible game, muddy, cold and finished 10 all or something like that, the general consensus at the time was collusion at halftime, at which it was decided a replay at Wakey would be a profitable endeavour, dunno how true that was but replays were a thing back then, the idea that 3 games a week might be a bit much, was definitely not a thing.
I think they'd a played 3 games a week all season given the opportunity.......ahh, good times

Remember going to a game at Station Road probably Oct or Nov 1972. We won quite easily in front of a very low crowd. We had the windows of our coach bricked through by some youths hiding behind a graveyard wall, just as we got onto the main road coming away from the ground. You weren't on our bus were you? Was a bus station bus rather than supporters club organised. They did transport to many games back then.
