the_mighty_bosh Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Fingers crossed we can get more of the injured and international players back to make up for the suspended players from last week. If we do I'd go for: Woods Mills Hamer Wheater Iacovitti Smith Maouche Missilou Eagles Vera Wilson It's a game where going with 2 up front could give us a big boost. I'd drop Sylla to get Maouche controlling the play from the middle of the park, play Vera because we have no one else who's even close to being a target man, and give Wilson the chance to play in a front two against his former club. Hopefully to prove a point. Having Branger and Azankpo on the bench would be decent options if we're chasing a goal, and Sylla there to come on if we need to kill the game. Macc under Campbell looked surprisingly decent when I saw them earlier on in the season. No idea what their new manager is like but surely the regular late payment of wages will start to take it's toll on a small squad. It's a good opportunity to go for the win imo.

HarryBosch Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I don't even know why I'm typing this but with no decent left back and the desperate need for two different types upfront he needs to go 3 at the back with Vera + A N Other up top. Vera's inadvertent easing back in as a result of the sendings off could be a blessing in disguise and have him flying on Saturday. I'd start a fit, sharp Eagles but imagine we'll next see him from the bench although with no Morais he might be chucked in. I'd play Zeus over Woods aswell but he looks like one where if he's fit he starts regardless of fuck ups... Is Fage out? Haven't seen any update on him.... Regardless we'll probably lose to a side who's owners and management can somehow have mid table despite rarely paying them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 De La Paz Mills, Hamer, Wheater, Iacovitti Eagles, Sylla, Missilou, Branger Maouche, Azankpo if they are all fit to start... However if Branger is still not ready then we may see Smith if Mills is still not ready then we may see Smith-Brown And if we don’t win this one then there will be a piss boil the like of which we have not seen on this forum for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA's concussion protocol indicates that Fage might be eligible to play, but any set backs in his recovery will prevent him from playing.

A number of fans I speak to saw the double sending off as having some impact on the final result and thereby mitigating to some extent the final embarrassment. if we lose eleven versus eleven this Saturday it may be different methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Does, "target man," now mean the the player who it's easy to hit with a pass from 40 yards if he stands still? We've got plenty in the stands willing and able to do that better than Vera can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way should he be replaced with Eagles who hasnt featured and definitely not with Branger coming back having not done much before getting injured. If Eagles and Branger are to come in it has to be for Maoche and Morais (suspended). Id personally go with Harry Bosch that 3-5-2 needs to be implements, as we are inexperienced defensively and have very poor defensive cover from midfield/wings. But at the same time, we need more options forward, as our transition from defence to attack is awful as we have no attacking full backs, and no one in midfield who carries us forward. Hate to say it but we need to resort to lumping it and getting around the strikers for scraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored twice in a handful of appearances, played well once or twice without scoring, eg Stevenage away last season, and never had a run to get his eye in.

Hate to say it but we need to resort to lumping it and getting around the strikers for scraps. Smith seems to start off at 100 miles an hour and then fades (as do one or two others). I see him as an impact sub coming on with 25 minutes to go. Eagles? In my opinion he is a classy footballer who seems to have been getting his fitness back but, for whatever reason, has not yet featured under Dino. It may be that he gets a start if the manager wants to shake things up. And..this may surprise one or two, we may see Maouche dropped to the bench this weekend. On another note - Whatever Nepomuceno did or said to see him shipped out to Chesterfield, how we could do with him right now. Sheridan seems to be getting them to play and Nepomuceno will have played a big part in that. He is a winger who provides that defensive cover you mention. I’m up for this game and expect a huge response from the team on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m up for this game and expect a huge response from the team on the pitch. Fair analysis in my opinion, share the hope that Chris Eagles does play. I've been impressed with Jonny Smith, has tired in a couple of games (general fitness worry across the team) but is busy all the time and effective in possession. I think he deserves to start. With current form and limited talent in the side, a good start is vital, needing to be 2 or 3 goals up by 60 minutes to preserve a realistic chance of a win in my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
