TheBigDog Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Paul Dickov rightly criticised his team for the woeful first half performance at Accrington. He has also been criticised in turn (by some) for changing a winning team - the question is whether he will revert to our first choice starting eleven on Saturday or drop certain individuals in an attempt to shake it up and send out a wake up call to the squad? In my opinion, there are a number in the team who have fallen off the pace recently: Stephens, Jones, Alessandra and even Taylor is slipping back to his poorer early season form. Alessandra has already been relegated to the bench and I think that Jones should probably be moved from the right wing role. The big question for me is around Stephens - would he benefit from being dropped down to the bench and if so who replaces him? We do have options in the middle - Jarrett (did not impress at Accrington by all accounts), move Lee up, or even give Jones a chance to play centrally. And up front - will Feeney now kick on after his first goal or should Kelly/Brooke be given a chance from the start? Saturday will probably see Dickov stick close to his first choice team. Lee at right back and Furman/Stephens in the middle. I also think PD will give the Black/Evina left side pairing another chance. As always the question is who partners Tounkare up front and who plays wide right? Whichever starting eleven - let's hope for a positive reaction to the abject showing at Acrington - looking forward to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Afraid Jones is a non event for me in any position. I would put Taylor out right or Millar and Feeney upfront with Tounkare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Saturday was the Rebirth of Feeney , Now we see the real jam legged striker So Taylor wide right ahead of Lee - and Feeney up front with Tounkara - central midfield Stephens and Furman - left wing pairing Evina and Black - central two M'Voto and Hazell -and Brill in the nets - there you have the eleven - easy - I reckon we'll win too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it also gives plenty of options to change the game with the players on the pitch (if needed). I think the back 5 is the strongest we have at the minute. The middle of the park sees taylor in the position he's had his best games in. I think jones is much more effective in the middle. He's no winger. Furman should be very dangerous playing in the 'hole' as he is creative and knows how to hit a loose ball.. It was a tough choice between feeney and tounkara but think tounkara can hold the ball better and bring the other atting players in the game. And feeney could come on against a tiring defence to change the game after an hour or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty doesn't know Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 for me the team would be: brill lee hazell mvoto evina taylor jones stephens alassandra furman tounkara I think the formation would both stifle the attacking threat posed by hudds but also maximise the the threat of our own attacking threat. I think it also gives plenty of options to change the game with the players on the pitch (if needed). I think the back 5 is the strongest we have at the minute.

And feeney could come on against a tiring defence to change the game after an hour or so. can't find much fault with that at all, but i'm not really a fan of playing only one forward, call me old fashioned if you like, and is there such a great need to change the formation? people seem to be really overreacting to the loss to accrington stanley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - the players are the key to our future success - they have shown in patches just how good they could be but have let us (and PD) down too often recently - time to step up to the plate lads - please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break The Silence Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm normally fairly positive by nature but i've got an awful feeling we're going to get mauled on Saturday, a real 4 or 5 nil hammering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor has been more impressive down the centre with Tonk, looks slightly lost out on the wing when he has been moved their (has fed Lee through a few times but other than that) team for tomorrow GK: Brill RB: Lee LB: Black CB: Hazell CB: M'voto RM: Millar/Morais LM: Evina CM: Stephens/Jones CM: Furman CAM/ST: Taylor ST: Tonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
