[League one forever]

Looking forward to this, particularly if we win and we get to watch a Dean Brennan meltdown.

 

Back 6 picks itself. 
 

Then I’d go

 

Clucas

Conlon

Lundy. 
 

Then I genuinely don’t know. Do you stick with Mikey and Nors? Mikey in a purple patch, Nors was superb after being left out. Or does Stones come straight in with Norwood? 
 

You can make a case for both.

Dropping Payne would be harsh. I don’t think Conlon and Clucas would have the legs to be the 2 deeper lying midfielders controlling the game. 

[Littlemoor Lad]

I think I'd start with Norwood and Stones for this one

Mikey will come on later and smash them to bits

If we win this one I think we're going up

I keep doing this. . totally forgot about Payne.

 

So if he goes two up top? Who’s your midfield 3? Because I can’t see him dropping Conlon and Lundy, and Clucas hasn’t dropped 3 divisions to sit on the bench. 
 

Good problem to have mind.

Not too long ago we were selecting the 11 least shit. Now it's Mickey's dilemma.

Disappointed you haven't got abbreviations/nicknames Conlon and Clucas. May I offer up Conny and Cluey?

Barnet away was one of the games Norwood could be arsed with last season, so it, might be for him.

 

I don't know if it's better to have Mikey (*cough top-scorer*) batter then for 60 minutes then have the "finisher" come on against a tiring defence or have the "finisher" start and then have Mikey come on to tire them out.

 

I think Stones probably starts.

 

Nice problems to have...

Agreed mate. Tough one.

[BradKnowles1]

Think the team picks itself. You’ve got to Norwood and Fondop together. 
 

Some reason I’m not confident and have a bad feeling about Saturday

I was thinking about this the other day actually. Definitely good problems to have. Hopefully we can extend Payne as long as possible but if he does go then he may have to drop Lundstram deeper to push Clucas further forward which would also be harsh, but I don’t see Clucas and Conlon working together as a pair if i’m honest. Their experience alone may prove me wrong but I think you need someone in there to do the dirty work and I think Payne does that brilliantly.

As long as Cluey doesn’t become Clueless!!

I don't think Mellon is that stupid to play Lundstrum in a deeper role, he struggles there so he either plays where he's been effective or misses out to Clucas, but he doesn't deserve that given he's been head and shoulders our best player through the last 6 weeks. Same goes for Fondop really whose done nothing to lose his place in the starting eleven.

didn't MM  state in his post match that mickey had a bit of hamstring pull so maybe rested /benched ?

[doctor evil]

I think there's a chance we revert to a back 4 now. You could see Payne & Conlon as a double pivot, then Clucas and lundstrum further forward with the 2 strikers.

no way Lundy drops deep after how he has played last few weeks

[disjointed]

If we are going to play 2 up top I'd pair them off, Fondop/Drummond or Norwood/Stones. We know the F/D works as our recent results prove this and these would be my starting pair. 1hr of them 2 followed by N/S will rip up this division.

Thank god, someone that thinks like I do!

Although on this, he’ll not drop Lundstram from that role he’s given him I don’t think, based on his comments. I see the logic with it given Clucas’ layoff at Tranmere. 
 

Wont happen but both in there with Payne and 3 centre backs should work very nicely

This was essentially what we saw at Tranmere when MM moved Clucas out of defence. Could tell the team were t used to the formation 

[penrhyn]

Barnet got done for pace late on at Exeter after they brought on two quick players.

[Dickie Down]

There is very much the sense that the manager has been allocated the resources to do well in games like these.

 

Here's hoping.
