yarddog73 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Questioning somebody's team (even if I agree) then naming yours featuring a player who does not even play for us???????? Weird Might not be that weird then!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Has to be Turner over Cassidy. The latter has hardly had a pre-season and the former has earnt his place over the past few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Has to be Turner over Cassidy. The latter has hardly had a pre-season and the former has earnt his place over the past few months. Tricky one. Turner sure as hell will score more goals than Cassidy, but can he do it while on his own up front? Depends how we play. If it's on the deck then it could work. If we're lumping it up then it's got to be Cassidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngen Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Joel Coleman Brian Wilson - James Wilson - Jonathan Burn - Joseph Mills Liam Kelly Lee Croft - Mike Jones - Carl Winchester - Jonathan Forte Jake Cassidy I'm pretty sure that's what he's going to line up with. Personally, I'd like Turner in the team but I think he'll go with 5 in the middle and therefore that'll mean Cassidy getting the nod with Croft & Forte occupying the flanks, with Jones & Winchester providing support. I can't see him playing a 442 as that'll mean Kelly & Jones as the nailed on centre mids leaving Winchester, Green & Dunn on the bench. There's also a case for Brown over Brian Wilson, but they're equal in ability in my opinion so not overly arsed either way. I think thats the likely team we will play, and arguably our strongest even though Cassidy hasnt bagged or hardly played in pre season. However it doesnt quite back up DKs talk of using the pace in the squad, Id expect Poleon/Turner to be in there, if he sticks to his early guns. Is anyone else hoping the Croft/Cassidy relationship will mirror Liddell/Porter? Get Croft on pens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Coleman Brown Burn J Wilson Mills Croft Kelly Winchester Jones Forte Turner I'd have it as a 4-4-2 diamond with Croft a winger and Jones a narrow left sided midfielder, Kelly holding and Winchester further upfield. Bench of Cornell, B Wilson, Gunning, Dunn, Green, Poleon and Cassidy is pretty strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Turner does alright in the air and those 2 are probably our best goalscorers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Turner wins more in the air then Ibehre ever did, apart from Sheff united. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngen Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Turner wins more in the air then Ibehre ever did, apart from Sheff united. Not about winning headers, Ibehre was a physical threat, moved defenders about and created space for Fortes pace. Sheff Utd goal being a perfect example. Turner needs a bruiser too I reckon. I like the fancy approach, but sometimes you need a battering ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that sometimes, but we don't have a battering ram - Cassidys a neat footballer that's scored a few headers in his past by getting into the right positions, he's no battering ram and he certainly won't be shoving big centre halfs about like Ibehre did. Turner given the chance will score a few headers, and he'll play in a similar style to Cassidy so simply on pre season form alone Turner should get the nod. (He won't, though.)

On pre season form, and the fact I think he has a good career ready to be carved I would personally play Turner, but Cassidy will play!!

MAC0AFC Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'm a big Turner fan but he's never scored 15 in a league one season, Cassidy has ..... FTFY. Wasn't it mentioned that he scored something like 44 in a season at college level? True though, I'm sure Cassidy has been drafted in as a 100% starter and that'll be why Kelly will start him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner beats men a lot taller than him in the air on a regular basis He's not your ordinary 'target man', but I reckon he'd do okay up front on his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona play none up front, but manage to attack ok, I'll admit our players aren't quite in their class though (yet).
