deyres42 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Id expect Muzza to be involved in the coaching tomorrow along with Byrne. And Broady might be on microphone duties too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGortonsMatches Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I reckon we might go with an extra midfielder (Furman) to give Croft more support against Baines & Pienaar. With Baxter behind just Barnard. Smith on for the last 30 mins if needed. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc-latics Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Bouzanis Brown/MVoto/Tarky/Grounds Croft/Furman/Wes/Obita Baxter Barnard If we're defending we have a 5 man midfield, if we're attacking we can have two wingers, Baxter and a striker. Winning formula, Moyes won't have a clue how to deal with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Surely we aren't going without Byrne? He's the leader of our defence. Bit of a short-arse against what they will throw at us but Liverpool had enough big lads and he was superb that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davegtt Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Only play Smith if we are going to be proactive about getting the balls down the wing and playing to the strength of putting the balls in the box. Whats the point otherwise. As long as the lads go out and look like they turned up to win I couldnt care if we made 5 mistakes and lost 5 nil. Personally all Ive seen of Heitinga since he came to England is he's slow and prone to panicing. Lets get some pressure on him and the game is on.

NewBlue Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Got to be Barnard and Smiff up front. Big man, little man combination. Baxter to serve them, Wes and Furman as a safety net. Worried about the right-hand side of the pitch though. Need reinforcements, will Croft and Brown deal with Baines and Pienaar? 1 of the midfield 2 will have to cover or we could play another defender in place of Brown.

stargazer Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Can't see Smith starting after 3 weeks out. We can't play Barnard , Iwelumo & Baxter , or midfield will get run over. Furman will start instead of Iwelumo me thinks. I think the Youth coah will give Tarks a start , who knows how he will handle it . Biggest problem for me is Brown for Wabara , think they will target this big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 There's a fair few selection dilemma's but I'd go with: Bouzy Brown Byrne Mvoto Grounds Croft Furman Wes Baxter Iwelumo Barnard A bit harsh on Tarky and Smith but there's no guarentee that Barnard will play as well with Smith as he has with big Chris and I think Byrne's experience will be crucial. Going 4-2-3-1 with Barnard on his own and Obita on the left is possible but I'd rather us be more attacking and dominate the middle a la Liverpool. Smith for the last 20 minutes could be a nightmare for them to deal with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1234 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 No brainer, same team as last week. Where was Byrne's experience in the last nine league games before MK Dons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 No brainer, same team as last week. Where was Byrne's experience in the last nine league games before MK Dons? Fair point, although it helped us a lot against Forest and Liverpool. I have doubts about Tarky and Mvoto as a pairing in a match like this although I'll be happily proven wrong. The biggest worry about playing last week's team is in central midfield, Wes and Baxter as a pairing are very likely to be overran by their midfield in a key area of the pitch. Furman alongside them would solve this and Croft can play narrow or wide depending on the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
