Stockport

[DV]

So we've all aired our opinions about todays game, so with that in mind....apart from the obvious injuries permitting what team would you play away at Stockport if you were the manager because lets be honest....whoever you are you know more than Malpas, especially you Bart....

Over to you guyd....

[sonic youth]

they won 3-0 away from home today. that worries me a bit.

i'd play the same team and tactics except brezovan in for smith.

[Arriba]

what sonic said.

[DV]

Hmmm

Im un decided on the keepers. I've seen Brez play 4 games this season and Smith 2. They have both made howlers and cost us. However Smith performance at Franchise was better than any of Brez performances this season.

I'd be tempted to stick with Smith....

However, what ever defence we use doesnt work and im starting to think about 3 centre back and wing backs. It effectivly adds an extra defender but takes away the wingers.

McNamees a match winner on his day but only when given service

Smith

Amankwaah

Kanyuka (if fit, if not Morrison)
Ifil
Aljofree

Smith

Easton
Nalis
Timlin

Cox
Paynter

Now I've written that down im totally un convinced by that back 5 and the 3 centre backs. I feel much more comfortable with Vincent in there....but hes injured and the time its taking makes me wonder if hes done for.

Usually when I make these types of posts and un convince myself I usually delete them.

To bulk up id be tempted to go a proper flat 5 in midfield but you really cant drop Cox or Paynter imo individually and as a parntership they are playing well. I just wish we'd stop using Paynter as a target man so much

[dell boy]

Brezovan (if fit)

Amankwaah
Morrison
Aljofree
Smith

McNamee
Timlin
Nalis
Pook

Cox
Paynter

[DV]

Pook, as a right winger?

[dell boy]

Pook, as a right winger?

No right winger, play lop-sided, Leeds managed it quite nicely today dont you think. Instead of playing with two wingers you get one your forwards to move wide (interchange Paynter/Cox), it gives you better control of the ball in the middle of the park and stops those wasted long ball tactics which very rarely comes off.

[Arriba]

jpm did ok today didn't he?

[OneAndrewFitton]

I would play

Brezovan
Amankwaah
Aljofree
Morrison or Kanyuka
Smith
Marshall
Timlin
Nalis
Mcnamee
Cox
Paynter

[DV]

fuck it, anyone else think Lee Peacock could do a job an centre half?

[dell boy]

fuck it, anyone else think Lee Peacock could do a job an centre half?

Yes, would read the game well, good shout

[DV]

Its been a bit odd so far this season, for example at centre half and in goal we have strength in depth...so we have replacements if one or two of the players are being a bit shit....yet some how they're all being shit at the same time.

I mean on paper Aljofree, Ifil, Kanuyka and Morrison doesnt look bad for centre halves at this division. Ifil was injured and Kanuyka and Morrison failed to impress. Ifil has been shakey....Aljofree has been ummm Aljoree!!

Brez and Smith in the last 2 years have both been capable keepers and both looked very solid between the sticks. Both look utter gash this season

what the fuck is going on

[dell boy]

DV, sometimes things just go that way in football, all you can do and hope is.........

[glos_robin]

Fuck knows...........I will be there but as I've said elsewhere I get the distinct impression Malpas is on borrowed time with a lack of confidence in the boardroom. Brez must start though next weekend as Smith costs us a goal each league game he plays.

[Spencer_White]

Brez wasnt fit yesterday, hes also got his heart set on a move.
