Some tough competition now - especially in the wide areas, interested to see who misses out

Would probably go with:

Pereira

Ahmed
Burns
Williams
Jacob

Wing
Elliott
Savage

Lane
O’Mahony
Kyerewaa

Stevens, Abrefa, Dorsett, Fraser, Doyle, Ritchie, Marriott

Harsh on Camara who has 2 in 2 as well as a decent cameo at Bolton (even if I was a bit of a lone wolf defending him prior to that :wink: ) but not sure this is quite his game and we have other options to change a game if needed. Although that also leaves out Garcia which wipes out 50% of our goals so far this season!

Sure we’ll have a mystery injury in there somewhere though to ease the selection headache on Hunt

Since Camara has been called up by his country and will face a long trip, perhaps a rest for today wouldn't be a bad thing.

And in relation to your defending of him, fair play. I really didn't rate him, but to his credit, he's had a strong start to the season.

Even though we are only 5 games in, this one feels quite important. Only 4 games, including ours, are off next weekend and following that we have tough aways against Barnsley & Stockport and an Orient side we've struggled against.

He's a really odd one and I flip flop on him.

He doesn’t seem to have any particularly standout qualities. He's not big, not strong, not quick, not tricky... doesn’t really beat his man ever. But he does keep the ball and move it around quite well.

You see a lot of wingers who when they can't get anywhere, their lay off or pass back is lazy and doesn’t really achieve anything, but he plays it at the right time and with purpose to someone who maybe has some space or time to do something. And hard to argue with 2 in 2. Header maybe a bit fortunate, he won’t win many of them, but right place right run for that team goal finish.

Going for a 1:0 or 1:1.

Port Vale have not lost away from home yet without conceding a goal. Any win against them will have to be hard fought.
