Pretty well my thought Pete.....provided Miller is fit.

[cheshire cat]

We just need to batter them from the off because I don't fancy us coming back from a goal down.

[York Alty is back]

Too depressing to predict.

[Alty Bri]

That team is beginning to look a bit better. I'd still play Patterson at right back for Heathcote and find a place for a fit Simon Richman. But generally thinking, they're the lads I'd be looking at trying to retain next season.

Patterson right back and Newby right wing for me.

[Timperley The Best]

If Patterson played at right back last night I'd play him there on Sat he looks better there than in midfield

[roytonmike]

The problem with playing Patterson at right-back & Newby wide right midfield is that you then have two men effectively wanting to do the same job. Patterson has the usual curse of the Alty full-back; he appears neither to like nor to be particularly good at defending. Since time immemorial our full-backs have been frustrated wingers! I would have Heathcote at no. 2 as the best defensive right-sided option, & the same consideration leads me to favour McWilliams over Brownhill (just) at no. 3; Newby probably just shades it as no. 7 for me ahead of Patterson. I haven't seen enough of Taylor to give any sort of meaningful opinion, but if Richman is fit I would like to see him paired with Gary Jones in the centre of midfield. If Miller is fit (which I rather doubt) I'd have him playing behind the central striker; if he isn't, then Lawrie can fill that role. Owens as central striker looks to me like Hobson with a bit more heart, but the same limitations - but he's probably the most viable option available at the moment. Patterson, Reeves, Taylor, Lawrie or Brownhill & Dawber would be a reasonable subs bench. McDonald can safely be sent to pasture on Farmer Pace's field in my view; Cain may be better off getting game time at Prescot for now.

Objection Mr Royton!  Recent full back Stan Allen was definitely not a "wannabe" winger.

But your general principal applies - which is why we had Nicky Clee at left back a couple of seasons ago

Recent ? Stan was half my lifetime ago !

[oneedham]

Sorry but I do not rate Heathcote, very poor positioning, panics and just never looks confident. His body language is that of a lad who doesn't want the ball.  Paterson right back.I take it Richman is still not fit and Moult suspended? I would go Newby right mid and Miller behind Owens will be a good partnership.

[oneedham]

Or have Owens up top and have Clee and Miller high out wide so that we could have a midfield 3 of Jones, Taylor and Richman.

[robininstockport]

Patterson the best rb so if we set  up 4-4-2 (which I think we will) he's in and Heathcote s out.

If we go 3-4-3 which must be a temptation after last Saturday, Heathcote would be 1 of the 3 cb and I'd play Patterson rwb.

[dunhamalty]

How good is Taylor? I haven't seen him play but looking forward to it from the reports on here!

[shelmers]

Really don't see how people rate Heathcote....he is not good enough for this level. Play Patterson right back and Newby right mid.
