FA Cup Draw

[Spencer_White]

Peacock is now no better than non league. I can see Reg's point, Hutchinson, Revell, Tope, Austin, Peacock, none of them would look out of place in non league.

We do have some class players, Douglas, Cuthbert, Greer. But goals win games.

I would have been pretty worried if we had drawn Woking away. Because at the moment 1 goal for the opposition will usually be enough.

Just get through this game. If we can play the exact same team that won at Franchise we could do something good.

I'm impressed with your knowledge, young DV....Woking always seemed to manage a 0-0 at the Scum, when they were in the Conference, think the old perennial of financial problems dragged them back.

Werent they also managed by JPMs dad back in the late 90s as well?

Bit hard on Austin after only 20 mins.

Hutchinson and Tope don't appear to give a shit, hard to tell, but send 'em back as soon as possiible.

Revell can't score.

At the moment it looks like Austin with either Revell or Paynter might be the best option in a month or so (assumes that Austin can score in League 1).  But if the 4:5:1/4:3:3 stuff continues, it'll be Austin in for Tope, possibly; Macca on the right; and Revell in the middle.

I hope Wilson decides to play 4:4:2, and plays Macca and JPM/O'Brien in the wide midfield positions.

I think back to fellas like Steve Finney...who is still only a little older than Lee Peacock, a striker of his calibre would walk into our current side, yet despite being a bit of a cult hero for us, soon found his way back into non league, then out of the game altogether, probably before he was 30..

[DV]

That was, at least partly due to his broken leg, no?

Only 35 now. Peacock turned 33 start of this month.

[Arriba]

peacock would do a good job in league 2.i also think he is an ok squad player at our level.
not good enough to see us progress as a team mind

[DV]

Before his injury I would have agreed that he'd be an ok squad player and I do think at times last season we missed him midfield - but after 9 months out and being moved back as a striker I'm not convinced.

[Spencer_White]

Said it before, but Tope isnt that bad. He shows promise. Wilson has been playing him out of position in quite a few games.

Hutchinson was on for the last 10 minutes yesterday and he still couldnt be bothered to chase anything down. A complete waste of space.

Austen.

Charlie is cup tied, he played for Poole Town v Willand Rovers in a Qualifier. Poole lost 1-0 http://www.willandrovers.co.uk/Home.html

Exactly. FFS lads lets at least wait until we lose the Woking game before we all reach for the barbituates and Scotch, shall we?

Mcmoan made and ended his pro carear. Don't fall out with Mcmoan, as Culverhouse, Allison and may more found out.

Tope is going to fuck off back to Bolton next month, and plays left in what looks like the Rapid Vienna away formation (Celtic vs. Rapid Vienna, Oct 1, 2009), but he doesn't appear to quite know what his job is.  Interestingly, to make the formation work, Rapid Vienna have a centre forward powerful enough in Nikica Jelavic.  It would be a better idea to play Macca in that position with O'Brien on the right (when he is fit enough and when Tope has fucked off) if the narrow three of Douglas, JPM and Ferry are to be continued with.  What that leaves is a center forward that has enough nous, and is good enough in the air.  This is a problem with this formation, and why possibly all the strikers are being tried out.  So what have we got:

Paynter, hasn't worked for him so far, doesn't seem to be the solution.

Revell, as above.

Hutchinson, can't be arsed.

Peacock, threat in the air, but needs to be pushed around on casters.

Austin, can we pin our hopes on a raw talent, but looks the best prospect for the central striker role?

[Bogus Dave]

I've seen the odd BSS game this season, the standard is absolutely dire. We have nowt to fear

[Simon Pieman]

But Paynter did great in the lone role, it was only when Revell arrived that he lost his mojo
