For me, same starting 11 as hm.
I can't see the need for two defensive players at home so, Yates may sneak onto the bench instead of Purrington or Ithiewe?
Palmer: can't see him in a 2 man midfield so we've bought him to play a some stage & apart fro Smith we haven't got much up front. So 4-5-1 Rodak; Emmanuel Ajayi Wood Mattock; Forde Palmer Vaulks Towell Newell; Smith bench Bilboe Ihiewke Purrington Taylor Williams Ball Lavery
David Ball is a top player. If you want to squeeze Palmer in, it would be Vaulks to give way not Ball. The likes of Lavery, Palmer, Williams and Taylor (all good players and good options) will be itching to get involved but the players in possession deserve to stay in. Same team as before for me (same as HM set out), but with strength from the bench if needed. A healthy state of affairs.

Ball has quality. It is no coincidence that Ball reached full fitness at about the time our winning run started. He wasn't at his best against Donny but largely because the ball was flying around above his head, not least because your mate Vaulks and others kept kicking it up in the air. Get it to David Ball's feet in and around the final third and good things tend to happen.
You have written Lavery off quick. He has head three or four ten minute cameos and isn't match fit himself yet.
