Title: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: BrightonRed on Sunday, October 23, 2005, 14:16:43 Heaton
Jenkins, Comyn-Platt, O'Hanlon, Smith Shakes, Gurney, Whalley (Or Migz if fit), Not Sure Fallon, Bouazza Comyn-Platt impressed me a lot on saturday, he looked assured and wasn't afraid to be vocal. We desperately need some spine in midfield, Gurney provided this after Comyn-Platt came on yesterday and quite amazingly some of his attempted Beckham-like cross-field balls found their man. Pook was very very poor. If Bouazza can consistently perform like the last 15 mins against Scunthorpe he would be in the team every week. Not sure about the left wing. Title: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: DV on Sunday, October 23, 2005, 15:01:31 I think Ifil has been alot better recently in defence but Platt did look very good.
Bouazza had good spells, but then again not so good spells. If we have Rory in the team we will always lump it up to him. To bring Bouazza into the game we need to play it on the deck to his feet. Pook has been one of the better performers this season, but does look like he needs a rest for a game or two, sadly we dont really have anyway else than can fill in. For the left wing, why not try Andy Nicholas in front of Jack Smith?! Title: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: Ralphy on Sunday, October 23, 2005, 17:37:36 Pook out i agree.
Rather have Nico than Jack Smith. We need some new midfielders, we're far too lightweight. Whalley and Migz are far too alike. Need some meat in midfield.

Title: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: Ralphy on Sunday, October 23, 2005, 17:48:20 Steff is too injury prone. As much as i like the guy, we're better off without him IMO.
New blood come january i think. Title: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: lebowski on Sunday, October 23, 2005, 17:57:15 he always gets injured whenever he gets his hair cut, he's rather like samson in that respect.
Title: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, October 23, 2005, 18:06:45 Bit harsh on Pook. Young players are always going to be prone to the odd poor game, you've got to look at the wider picture and he's done a good job so far this season.
With everyone fit and in form I'd go for Code:
Nicho's been solid when he's played this season, Smith has been good but Nicho's left footed, Ifil has been inconsistent but I've not seen enough of Comyn-Platt really. Shakes and Nicolau are out and out wingers, the importance of width has been shown again and again this season. Scunthorpe tore us apart down the left hand side yesterday. Pook and Stef in the middle doesn't provide the strength we need in that position but it's making the best of what you've got. Fallon's been in superb form and I rate Bouazza, he's lively and causes a threat. I can see him bagging a few goals this month. Title: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: normy on Sunday, October 23, 2005, 19:47:45 Slightly different, if everyone fit, I would try:
Heaton Jenkins O'Hanlon Gurney Nicholas Shakes Miglioranzi Pook Bouazza Fallon Roberts Jenkins is our best RB when fit O'Hanlon and Gurney the best CB's, esp. least liable to make basic errors Nicholas has looked solid, good long throw, and joins attack well lately Shakes is fast but also defends well to help Jenkins, will improve Migs and Pook are all we've got CM, Whalley is past it Bouazza is a great prospect, speed strength, dribbling abliity. Fallon has been great, but needs more support from wings and a partner Roberts must be tried with Fallon up front, the enigma must be solved Other ideas: Comyn Platt looks very good, but a bit early to try him. Jack Smith has played well, could he play midfield somewhere??? Roberts has always wanted to play up front, if he failed at least we would know it's been tried. This would get him out of direct defensive duties where he has been weak, but give him no excuses for not giving his all. We can't afford Ifil's frequent bad mistake/s per game IMO, so keep the same back four where possible. If no Migs, Iffy should get a good CM partner for Pook asap after sending a few loans back to release funds Title: Re: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: PHIL!!!! on Monday, October 24, 2005, 13:22:09 Heaton
Jenkins Platt/Ifil O'Hanlon Smith Roberts Gurney Whalley Shakes Fallon Bouazza Migs playin in centre mid with Whalley when hes fit. Subs: Bulman Nicho Platt/Ifil Nicolau/Heath Thorpe/Cureton Title: BrightonRed's current team choice Post by: McLovin on Monday, October 24, 2005, 13:31:00 FWIW:
Heaton between the sticks Jenks, CCP, SeanO, Smith across the back. Shakes, Whalley, Gurney, Bouazza in the middle Fallon, Roberts ooop top. That is my desired (if that's the right word!) team. |
