Team for B'muff

[DV]

Shakes has shown signs of improvement of late. Holgate looks a decent player, but if we have 3 fit senior strikers then he should be on the bench.

The inclussion of Lapham is just fucking random. "here, VD says have a start - on you go lad"

I agree that cureton is a usless hobbit though

Shakes was awful saturday, he has improved recently but still isnt providing enough quality deliveries. We arent created enough and having a winger that cant cross isnt helping matters

Holgate is decent player, just because our 3 other strikers are more 'senior' doesnt make them better.

Lapham is not random, I needed a right wing back. First choice would have been Gurney who I moved into the middle because of O'Hanlons injury. Jack Smith is also injured. That leaves Lapham or Jenks...and Jenks hasnt looked good enough recently.

[Piemonte]

so you included him to fit into that formation as the only other viable option?

fuck that. 4-4-2 please, even if our wingers cant cross

[McLovin]

I was only agreeing on formation...

[DV]

I was only agreeing on formation...

what players would you pick then DB?

[sonicyouth]

Isn't Smith fit now? I thought he was available for Gillingham except for the suspension, maybe I misunderstood.

Lapham's not a bad player but I'd rather see Jenkins or Gurney ahead of him at right-back or right-wingback, experience is important in big games and every game is huge for us.

I don't see the sense in changing formation, the players have adapted to 4-4-2 and we do have decent quality from crosses on the left, it's just the right which is weak. I really hate 5-3-2 as well.

However, I'd put Cureton in ahead of Fallon to partner Peacock on the basis that nobody can play with Fallon. Therefore, it's worth giving that partnership a try before Cureton buggers off somewhere else.

[McLovin]

I'd pick Smith as RWB as Sonic said, as i don't *think* he's injured.

Up front I'd play Peacock with Cureton or Holgate.

[DV]

I thought Smith was injured  

If not, he'd obviously be my right wing back instead of Lapham.

Id still put Holgate in over Fallon & Cureton *IF* Peacock signs...

[mattboyslim]

Not a fan of the 5 at the back, I feel you need a very special player to be a good wing back, and the chaos that ensued on sat with the second goal was testament to it.  Unless you are a top player you can't adapt to the system, you either get full backs struggling to attack and beat a man, as often a full back's crosses come when the winger has drawn a man and created space, and in my experience wingers can't defend (cough aaron brown cough).

[sonicyouth]

with the signing of Jarrett, I'd put him in ahead of Shakes, thus meaning we've got 3 new signings in the starting lineup (or 5 if you include the loanees who signed permenantly).

A change could do us good...

Code:

              Evans

Gurney   Ifil   Comyn-Platt   Nicholas

Jarrett  Smith  Miglioranzi   Brown

       Cureton     Peacock

subs:
Bulman
Smith
Shakes
Holgate
Fallon

[DMR]

I'd go:

Evans

Smith - Ifil - CCP - Nicholas

Shakes - Gurns - Migs - Brown

Fallon - Peacock

[McLovin]

I wonder if Iffy remembers that Gurns is a fullback?

[fatbury]

Id go with Evans
Jenks Gurney Ifil Nicho
Migz P. Smith CCP
Peacock Fallon Cureton

Subs Bulman J.Smith Shakes Brown Holgate/Jarrett

[DMR]

CCP on the left wing  

[fatbury]

nope its a 4-3-3 formation

3 central midfielders

[Simon Pieman]

I think this is the team we are most likely to see:

Code:

                 Evans

Jenks     Awfil       CCP      Nicho

Shakes    Gurns     Migs     Brown

            Curo       Bambi

SUBS:
Bulman
J.Smith
P.Smith
Jarrett
Peacock
