With all the Wilson-bashing at the minute, why not show yourself to be his apprentice by picking your team for the cup upset at Crawley, on the telly on Friday...

Smith

Caddis
LJF
Cuthbert
Rose

Prutton
Douglas
Timlin
JPM
Ritchie

Austin

Pack the midfield, use Cuthbert in the centre - get a draw and take them back to the CG at least.

Isn't Douglas ruled out after last nights hamstring injury?

Going to Crawley and playing for a draw.  :no:

Sadly, I would probably take that at the minute.

Smith

Cuthbert (Amankwaah if fit)
LJF
Morisson
Rose

JPM/Caddis
Prutton
Douglas/Timlin if JD is out.
Ritchie

Austin
Dossevi

Don't like Cuthbert at right back but who else is there if Amankwaah is out? Thomspon isn't ready yet.

Amankwah isn't out...just not being picked.

Probably because he's been shit this season. Apparently he's been carrying an ankle injury for a while, but was playing anyway, until his performances warranted a rest.

Not what the O/S has been saying for 3 weeks. He's been injured and returned to training late last week.

Smith

Sheehan
Cuthbert
LJF
Rose

JPM/Caddis
Prutton
Douglas/Ferry if JD is out.
Ritchie

Austin
Dossevi

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sheehan and Caddis brought in to play infront of Rose and Cuthbert to try to offer more protection. So:

 
Smith

Cuthbert
LJF
Morisson
Rose

Caddis
Prutton
Timlin
Ferry
Sheehan

Austin

Subs: Dossevi, JPM

Smith
Amankwaah
Cuthbert
Jean Francois
Sheehan
Caddis
Ferry
Prutton
Ritchie
Ball
Austin
..for me

I would like to see Sheehan left back and Rose left wing.

Sheehan is better at defending and Rose is better at attacking.

Is Pericard still injured?

I get the feeling that Pericard is a gonner. Thought the interview with Wilson after the Brentford game was interesting as I thought that he showed a bit of anger at the fact that Pericard had to be taken off with an injury. Had the feeling from the tone of phrase that Wilson was a bit annoyed with him and felt a little let down by him....I could be puttin g 2 and 2 together and getting 64 though.

Given how fucking useless we are at defending, I was wondering whether we might be better off playing with a sweeper - Prutton or maybe Cuthbert behind Morrison / JFL

Can you imagine Prutton as a sweeper! He'll be off within 20 seconds.

Be a total waste of his undoubted talents.

Smith

Amankwaah (Caddis if injured)
LJF
Cuthbert
Sheehan

JPM
Douglas (Ferry if injured)
Prutton
Ritchie

Austin
Dossevi

Lucas

Caddis (you know the one, the RB who we paid a lot of money for, the scottish u21 captain...yeah him)
Cuthbert
Morrison (marginally the less of two very evil evils)
Sheehan

Ferry
Douglas (or Timlin)

Ritchie
Prutton
Dossevi

Austin

Would it not make more sense to play the entire population of Togo at the back rather than up top? We're doing alright going forward and it might help to have a bit of cover for the error-prone back four?

Disagree. Think Togo can do a job for us upfront!

The high temperature for Crawley on Friday is 1 degree. It'll be freezing by 7.45. I'd be surprised if it beats the weather.

Metcheck saying temperature will have dropped to -2C by kick off.

From memory -4/-5 is about the max normal pitch covers can cope with.

Bring on the heated pich tent!

same for me, ow and a good win too please. Come on you cunts gets it sorted.

I think we should play a weakened team with a lot of youths. Less embarrassing when we get beat.

Saying it wont snow until sunday or monday now. If that's the case it will definetely be on.

The man himself had a conversation with my dad earlier in the week at the gym that pretty much went along the lines of he's been back to full fitness for a couple of weeks now, but Wilson isn't even picking him for the bench!  I don't imagine he'd make something like that up and personally if he's now fully fit, I'd pick up. 

Crawley seem pretty confident it will be on:
