A 2-0 victory over Rotherham United on Sunday got the monkey off their back in terms of their winless start to the season, however it’s been five games since they even scored a goal away from home, and you have to go back to April’s win over Shrewsbury Town to find their last win at an away stadium.
It’s clear that manager, Danny Röhl, isn’t afraid to shift things about - he’s already used a back three and a back four - but as the old saying goes, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’.
There may well be a couple of tweaks to his XI, maybe a change here or there, but here is the XI that we think the German might go for at Ashton Gate tomorrow:
1. Cameron Dawson - GK
Another clean sheet for Dawson in his last outing, the latest in what has been a good calendar year for the Wednesdayite. Would be harsh to change goalkeeper after that.
2. Callum Paterson - RWB
The utility man put in a fine performance against Rotherham in which he bolted up and down the right like a man possessed. His pressing is something Röhl will love.
3. Dominic Iorfa - RCB
It was great to see him bounding out of the back in the last game, but it was his overall performance that was the most impressive. Imposing and effective.
4. Bambo Diaby - CB
The role of big central centre back is one that could just as easily go the way of Michael Ihiekwe, but Diaby is the one in favour right now and he did nothing wrong v the Millers.
