AnthonyOAFC Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Who would you start and what do you hope for and what do you expect? Basically created this thread because I saw a few comments on ifs and buts about this game. ...discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd start Taylor instead of Slew. Dickov won't though, we'll be unchanged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburbri Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd start Taylor instead of Slew. Dickov won't though, we'll be unchanged why not play both and drop Simpson because he hasnt set the place on fire since January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossrocks Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd potentially start Smith up front. If we're going to play long ball we may as well have a big man up there and at least it'll give us a better idea of where he's at than token 5 minute cameos here and there. Unless we change the system, we have very little flexibility in terms of players. I obviously hope for an emphatic win on Saturday but expect a narrow defeat.

oafcprozac Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Time to give Smith a go not bothered if either Slew or Simpson make way. Not much else we can change within the team, look at the squad we're up :censored: creek unless we bring another 3 or 4 in. Starting with a ball playing midfielder that has a brain... - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd keep the same side, only way an understanding between the players will be formed, plus it be another game and the players should be getting fitter. If we can take a lead Stevenage will have to push on to us as the game goes on and hopefully Slew and Montano's pace can be used to exploit this.

RobOAFC Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd go with a 4-3-3 Croft and Montano in a forward 3, Smith upfront and tell them to cross it in to him. Smith's instructions would be to get your arse in the penalty box and if a defender tries pushing you out the way, push him back! 3 in midfield would be Furman M'changama and Winchester, two of them would go forwards to support the attack whilst one sits and acts like a sweeper between the attack and defence when the ball is cleared. Full-backs go forward and support (Cliff, you are allowed to go past the halfway line) Croft and Montano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to play long balls to Smith we may as well use a scarecrow with a large Rubics cube on top instead. He may well have aspects to his game but receiving hoofs back to goal is not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its right to discount Simpson when he's being played in the wrong system, as a target man, rather than a creative midfielder which is his better position.

oafc-latics Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 same as last night but put simpson as a link between Slew upfront and the midfield. change between a 4-4-1-1 and a 4-2-3-1 when we're attacking. slew looks alright when he wants, so give him a free role to chase balls forward and get in the box. simpson can be the one linking and playing the wingers in. if slew gets tired, swap him with montano for ten minutes. fool proof!

laticdickovarmy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Had a really long think about what i would play sat and this is what i think if we dont get anyone in of course Cisak Byrne M'voto Tarky Grounds M'Changama Furman Croft Montano Simpson Smith Thought long and hard and for me the only 2 real decision are montano or hughes and smith or slew or taylor So short up top and at the back its a worry we are just 1 injury away from short in centre of the park as well 8 Days will define where we will go this season in the transfer market, although we could get 3 loans in, big far the most winnable of our next 4 games 4 pts from the Stevenage and Walsall game would been the target for me i feel a lot more positive than this time 24 hrs ago probably as be my 1st game of the season mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop talking sense, you obviously didn't get the memo: Brown has to come in at RB Byrne has to be switched to CB Tarky has to be dropped Croft has to lose weight Slew has to dropped Smith has to start Dickov has to stop folding his arms & drinking tea Quarmby has to lead to warm ups Continuity of the playing side and giving the starting X1 more than 2 league games to settle - Tish; how dare you beag??

laticsmarra Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Brown at full back to push on and give croft some help and more potency.croft was stood on the half way line most of the time on Tuesday.would move Byrne into centre and give tarky a rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 If we are going to play long balls to Smith we may as well use a scarecrow with a large Rubics cube on top instead. He may well have aspects to his game but receiving hoofs back to goal is not one of them. Great goal scoring record at non-league, and he's locally based too - I blame the club for not scouting him and giving a trial at the very least. Maybe a 6 month deal to see if he can step up? Though Leigh RMI, Stockport Sports and the mighty Bloods are also mooted as potential suitors, we may face a battle for his signing? He can't be any worse than Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepingthe Faith Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Cisak Byrne Tarky Mvoto Grounds Croft Mchangama Furman Montano Taylor Simpson If formation changes not needed, then. Bring on Slew/Hughes for either Croft or Montano if and when, one them looks ineffective or tired. Smith on for Taylor or Simpson if and when. Brown on for Tarky or Byrne If right-hand side not working (sooner rather than later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Tarky's fit Alright - he's a decent looking lad, but he has big ears and I don't like his haircut. Each to their own though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
