Team for Saturday
« on: July 30, 2015, 09:41:47 AM »

Time to put the best 11 out and get formation he wants against FGR.

                           Coburn

Densmore Havern Marshall  Griffin
 
         Richman   Mouukt   Cleve

                          Lawrie

                Reeves   Rankine

While I agree that represents our best 11, I think FGR would exploit our horribly exposed midfield if we play two up front.

100% agree with both comments.

I'd like to see him starting with that and being brave enough to react if necessary after half an hour (the obvious thing being sacrificing Rankine for Griffith).

We've got one last chance to establish whether we can get away with playing 2 up front - I hope Lee uses it and then adjusts for the start of the season accordingly.

It looks a decent enough side on paper but like Brian said may get exposed I'd also play leather as unlike most still believe he is are best centre half but I haven't seen pre season so I maybe wrong

The team has a good balance with Havern and Marshall, and the partnership largely worked well last year - no need to change it, the least of our worries.

The hard thing is that you can't drop Reeves, and I think Rankine has done enough in pre-season to merit a start as well.

Might be worth mentioning we played 2 up front v Bristol Rovers (H) early doors and outplayed them in all areas - clutching at straws maybe...!

I'm pretty sure we'll be playing 1 up front come the start of the season, and (begrudgingly) rightly so.

I think having 2 centre halfs who are not great on the ball is not the best idea and towards the end of the season teams sussed us out and played on the floor at the end of the season agree it's not are biggest problem however only 5 teams conceded more goals granted that included leather aswell

Leather in for masher , sorry to say Tom looks a little overweight at moment , and I think overall Scott is a better player.

I'd go with the team at the start of the thread with one exception. You must all promise not to laugh.

I'd play Jordan Sinnott in place of Nicky Clee and leave the overlapping to our full backs.

I think Sinnott has looked half decent on both occasions in pre season that we've employed him on the right hand side of the pitch, both against Wigan and against Trafford. He'll never get praise at any point even if it's at detriment to the team because the dye has been cast. He's no central midfielder, and I hope we don't seen him there again, but not had a problem with him in a right hand berth so far.

I will remind you of this later in the season

Incidentally what were the scores in those two games (both against sides three leagues below us) when Sinnott looked decent?
