Heskey might be up front? 4-4-2?

To give Gabby a well earned rest? Good option to bring off the bench if we need him.

I'm sure the Rovers defenders would rather be facing Bannan then Heskey too.

That's the way I see it - probably just behind Bent to flick on Collins' hoofs

Presumably it'll be a 4-3-3 with Ireland pushing forward from the midfield and Albrighton and Heskey either side of Bent.

Although why it is Heskey in that position instead of N'Zogbia I have no idea.

Don't think the pitch would suit Zog and Gabby with the problems they've had with it this week. Hoooooooooffffff!!!!!
