With Husband, Dembele and Norburn a doubt, it could be a tricky decision. If all 3 are out, I'd probably go with the following:

Grimshaw
Pennington Ekpiteta Casey
Gabriel Byers Virtue Coulson
Joseph
Rhodes Beesley

Maybe it's time for Carey to step up, I've been bitterly disappointed with him but maybe this is his chance to prove his quality?
 
He won't start with all of Joseph, Beesley and Rhodes.I think Carey or Hamilton would start for Dembele

I fancy Joseph will start against his former side. Although he may decide to freshen things up and go with Lavery and Joseph up top. The concern is Norburn, it sounds very much like Dembele will be fine for the weekend.
 
If norburn isn’t in the squad I’m sure virtue can do a good job there Morgan will be back after the international break. Dembele was just tiredness and fine for Saturdays game

Virtue worries me - half the player he has been over the seasons. Maybe just a lack of game time but see him more as a passenger. Is there no news on Morgan?

If Dembele is injured the best replacement is, Carey. He needs to up his game but turned around the Fleetwood match on his, own.
Virtue I feel has been unlucky with game time and prefer him to Norburn anyway

The problem with bringing in Virtue,Byers has to play the Defensive Mid role and you then lose his work further up the pitch as not a chance Matty can play there.

It seems more likely we would go with Virtue in the Norburn role, without Morgan we don't really have any other options. I'm sure Dembele will be fine but I'd rather have Joseph in the hole/10 and his work rate/physique than Carey. Yes he did well at Fleetwood but he's been bang average in the main. I suspect there will be a few changes to freshen things up, the last 2 games will have taken their toll.

Would have thought it's Byers like Tuesday in the Norburn role when Virtue came on.

I’m a big fan of Carey and was expecting great things from him but he’s been very disappointing this season and failed to kick on from his earlier form.

Think Virtue and Byers can interchange during match. Virtue has had a few shots and can score and is ok in the tackle.
Remember it was Byers caught out at Orient so would be happy for Virtue to be DM his issue is he is used to fill in a variety of roles so actually starting in one might help him.
Connolly in spite of what is, read, on here is ok as DM, but probably better on bench as he can cover a lot of positions.
We are as other teams struggling with injuries back end of season, but think we have the better squad options.
If Dembele is unavailable would not want CJ as attacking midfielder so has to be Carey as the most forward midfielder

Does he have a best position? 🤔

Rather a personal question, don'cha think? And, I can't help wonderin', but wouldn't a question such as this be better directed at whoever his sexual partner is, rather than some thrill-seeking, sexually curious tangerine deviant, eager to find whatever prurient tittle-tattle can be gleaned from the various posts to be found on what is, ordinarily, a rather mundane, and staid, messageboard for fans of a middle-ranking Div 1 football club located on Lancashire's Gold Coast?

Connolly in the holding role might be alright.

That's where he's played best for us in the past.

Which, if we're being honest with ourselves, doesn't say an awful lot about how he might've performed in those games in which he "didn't play" in the holding role ... As I type this, I can feel a cold shudder going down my spine!
