I think Iffy will go with

Heaton

Jenkins O Hanlon Ifil Nicholas

Shakes Pook Gurney Whalley

Roberts Bouazza

Subs Bulman Heath Migz Thorpe Wells

As that but with CCP for Ifil, unless he feels abbott needs 'special attention', ie Jerel getting sent off again

That midfield would be suicide away from home, to a club up the top.

Drop Pook.  Gurney and Whalley in the centre for me.

I'd even play Comyn Platt ahead of Ifil as Jerel needs a kick up the arse.

If smith's fit play him left mid, and Bouazza up front with Robbo, if not, put him out wide and play Thorpe up top.

would be surprised if he doesn't stick with 4-5-1. away to top side he'll want to keep it tight.

i reckon:

------------------heaton----------------------

--jenkins---ohanlon---ifil------nicholas----

shakes--pook--gurney--whalley--bouazza

------------------roberts----------------------

subs: bulman, heath, comyn-platt, thorpe, collins/wells/someone else

would like to see comyn-platt in place of ifil, but like mattbotslim said, ifil will probably be given a job on abbott.

Which is s hame cos one up front just doen;t seem to work for us at all.  just invites pressure on us.

i'd go with LGC

It's effectivelt the same formation played in recent weeks but with fallon out and roberts up front, it has recently worked more like a 4-3-2-1 formation, provided the winger/forwards support up front and midfield, ensuring the loan striker isn't isolated in attack and the full backs get enough support to cover overlapping attackers.

Who will be sent off this week then?

Personally I think 1 up top is a shit formation.  Why aren't we just going for it.  We've got nothing to lose.  In five away games playing that formation we'll be lucky to get two draws.  If we turned up and played attacking footie and took the games to the opponants we'd have more of a chance of a victory or two.  We are not as bad a team in comparison with others in this league as we imagine.

Fucking grow a couple of balls Iffy and lets play some football.

Attack!! Attack !! Attack Attack Attack!!

 The thought of the chavmeister up front on his own, is quite something, I'm better in the air than what he is, and the array of postures and pouts would be a sight  to behold as another aimless hoof gets headed back.

i agree with jan. what have we got to lose!? (obviously a football match but thats not the point! :wink: )

I agree with that Reg, maybe we could sub him off at half time and play Thorpe up there instead, he'd erm, do a lot better   :wink:

 :wall:

see what happens when we don't have Fallon...(don't hit me jan!) least he gives us options. unlike Thorpe...who doesn't give us any option but to just sit on the bench and pray no one gets injured!

Just been talking to a mate who was telling me about his West Ham supporting mate.  The season they went down they played shit, defensive football, real crap to watch.  He said this season the team turn up take the game to whoever they're playin, they win some an dlose some, but the fans are loving apparentely.

If we're gonna go down, I'd rather we did it playing like we did in the last half hour against 5th in the table Scunthorpe than playing defensive shit.

Fortune favours 'em!!

I realise I was being a little harsh on Rory on Monday, I know he's been giving it his all this season.  I just wish like others said at the time that the defensive could work out that just because Rory's on the pitch it doesn't mean that we have to hit the long high balls up to him all the time.  There are other options.

The main requirement for a lone striker, is a willingness to work your nuts off in an often forlorn cause.....not something that Roberts or Thorpe have ever been noted for.

 For that reason I'd go for a 4-4-2....Roberts and Boazza up front to try and occupy Udders with some direct running.

Roberts hasn't trained all week so I doubt he'll play. If he's not fully fit then I wouldn't waste my time playing him to be honest.


 :D

That's the way Reg, let's give their defence something to worry about.  According to 'Udders fans on 606 their defence is a little shakey to say the least.

unfortunatly he's probably the best option we've got as a lone striker while fallon's out. i would love to see us go up there & play all out attack like janaage says, but i really can't see iffy risking it. i've said before in loads of posts that 4-5-1 is crap, but we're unbeaten in 3 games now with that formation so doubt he'll change.

Sonic is that the first team or a youth club side? gurney and jenks are old enough to be most of them's dads.

Not necessarily saying all out attack, as that may be a little crazy, but soemthing like Reg says play some pacey strikers up top and make them run at them, it could cause a few teams in the league problems.

Look at what Beagrie was doing against jenkins.

this is what id pick, bare in mind I DONT actually pick the team

Heaton

Jenkins
O'Hanlon
Ifil [man mark abbott]
CCP
Nicholas

Pook
Whalley
Gurney

Bouazza
Roberts

Id play with wing backs, purely because we have no left winger to add balance across the middle 4.

Shakes unlucky to miss out.

very true also. fallon brings us goals but does ruin our style of football. very weird and annoying!

btw, sonic, david stroud!?  :soapy tit wank: why!?

thats what i meant. i'd love to see us go up there & have a go at them rather than just sit back & try to counter attack.

i'd have thought we'd learnt from the walsall game that 4-5-1 was crap. swansea went up there the weekend before us & whipped them 5-2 or something, playing direct attacking football. we go up there a week later & lose 1-0 playing 1 up front.

Exactly Le God, that really annoyed me.

It's fun to speculate, there are lots of options but I can't see us getting a point, hope I'm wrong. Just to be different:

                                                          Heaton

Jenkins                       O'Hanlon                             Platt           Nicholas


Gurney                       Pook                             Whalley                  Bouazza


                   Roberts                          Heath


Subs   Bulman  
           Collins  in case of defence replacement
           Shakes  to come on later to run at them
           Wells
           Migs

Robrts' toe will probably rule him out and Smith still not recovered so I'd go for
Heaton
Jenks OHanlon CCP Nicho
Shakes Pook Gurney Whalley
Thorpe Bouazza

but wouldn't be surprised to see Heath and Ifil back in.

heaton

jenks Sean'O CCP Smith/Nico

     Pook Gurney Whalley

Roberts                          Bouazza
     
              Thorpe

Andy D'urso is the referee tomorrow.

oh no he isn't is he?

According to the Huddersfield Rivals site he is. He once gave Barry Ferguson 2 yellow cards in one game and didn't send him off apparently.  :-))(

yeah i remember that! that ref is a cock no wonder he is reffing in league one now! hope he upsets the home fans more though altough every ref seems to be against STFC at the mo!

heaton

jenkins     ohanlon     ifil     nicholas    

shakes     gurney     whalley     bouazza
