the_mighty_bosh Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The team I'd go for would be: Woods (if fit) Mills Egert Wheater Iacovitti Morais Missilou Sylla Smith Vera (hear me out!) Wilson Hopefully Woods is back fit, with Zeus away on international duty and Zabret looking pretty unconvincing. I feel for Hamer a bit, but I think there are currently better options at right back and centre back. If Egert is struggling then I'd play Hamer and centre back. Iacovitti is the best of a bad bunch at left back. Speaking of which, I'd say Azankpo has been the best striker at the club this season (which is the equivalent of being the tallest mountain in the Netherlands) so he'll be a loss, but I think it could give us an opportunity to play to Vera and Wilson's (relative) strengths by giving them a partner to play off. In midfield I think Maouche or Fage could fit into a 4-4-2 alongside either Missilou or Sylla, but I'd trust the two I picked for an away game like this. I don't think we could afford for Maouche to go missing in a game like this. Mansfield were my favourites to win the league this season and their front two should be scoring a lot of goals, but they weren't that special when I saw them at Exeter earlier in the season and a lot of their players seemed to be bickering with each other during the match. Add to that a red card for an elbow off the ball and their league position, I have doubts about their discipline as a team. If we get an early goal I could see us frustrating them.

We just have to do this until January in my eyes unless we can get a free agent in who isn't a midget and can hold it up, link play a bit.... Even if we sign Billy Clarke...

I saw that and just looked at their fixtures they have had 5 red cards already this season that seems ridiculously high considering its early October.

Wilson If we take Dino’s post match comments on Tuesday - specifically: “Hopefully I'll get David Wheater, Mohamed Maouche and some of those players back and we'll be ready for Mansfield which is going to be a tough game." I think that our much maligned (by some but not by me) Number 10 will start. I don’t see Smith or Vera starting the game either. I would expect Hamer to play - is he our only ever present player this season? Also, don’t forget Branger and Eagles. Expect us to win this one.

Londonboy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Vera will be about as match fit as Vera Duckworth.. and she passed away years ago! With Dinos comments on lack of fitness of fringe players I'd be gobsmacked if he is anywhere near the team on Sat. I'd play Morais up front and play Eagles or Branger.

While Maouche can be deeply frustrating at times, wasteful in possession, indecisive with free kicks .... but is very comfortable in possession and has a good touch. I hope he plays off the striker. Appreciate I will be slaughtered by some for being positive. Partner for Maouche, not sure, if Des is out I want to see more of Wilson before writing him off. Still puzzled by the absence of Eagles, last time out he really impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also agree about where our number 10 will play at Mansfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 From the 'Chron... Quote In terms of absentees, Latics will be without goalkeeper Zeus de le Paz and Desire Segbe Azankpo as they are away on international duty, while injury doubts surround first choice 'keeper Gary Woods, Chis Eagles and Zak Mills.

Clubfootkilkenny Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Anyway, aside from the circus there’s a game today. Safe journey to all those travelling. I’ve not been to field mill since Carl serrants winner in the fa cup replay many moons ago. cant get up for this as much as normal due to potential starts for woods and Wilson. Not even that much worse than the people they’re replacing but it’s their losing mentality. I’ll take a point today even though these may be in the shake up for relegation.

Clubfootkilkenny Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I know. I was a bit negative but I just can’t work us out. Strongest 11 in the league but it’s not happening is it. Wilson is wank. Woods is poor too. Ironic that the weak links in the squad are mostly British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many “wank” players get top scorer for their clubs, into double figures two years running. So who goes in goal in your strongest 11 in the league fantasy ? Oh and who’s striker for that matter ? Im falling for a parody account here aren’t I ? Got to be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
