Would still go for a young team that will be here next year:

RCC
DiKE Willis Turnbull Stokes
Stevenson Reilly (we don't have a DM who is here next year)
DeKE G Thomas Jones
Ponticelli

Three young players who have scored goals at some level this season. Marcus Tudgay has had something like 9 shots all year IIRC, Beavon isn't a goal scorer. Need to try something. If it doesn't work then you can throw Reid or Vernham or whoever on.

You do realise Reilly isn't our player don't you?

is reilly really a dm? plays more box to box and seems to struggling with increased passing since slade left. i would play bigi,gadzhev or even finch with stevenson. in summer robins can buy a proper DM

Why is everyone so obsessed with Ponticelli?

Yes he has been scoring goal for the u18s but that doesn't mean he will come in and instantly score goals in the first team. It will probably damage his confidence as fans start getting on his back after the first blank.

He will get his chance when he is good enough, decided by the manager who sees him train and play regularly.

Probably the fact he can run properly already means he is better than our other strikers

Our strikers are appalling thats a fair point, I just dont think this is the situation a 17 year old needs

I dont think he would get pressure, the fans are unhappy at the lack of passion and effort which is the basic stuff any player should give.

Exactly this. What's the point continuing with players who've demonstrated that they can't hit a barn door with a banjo? If youngsters are brought in and they put the effort in, I'm sure the vast majority of fans will back them. If we can't score goals, we'll be going home from Wembley disappointed.

It'll feel chilly up there tonight, wrap up!

Its speed we need so if hes fast chuck him in - need something for Wemberlee

Doing the double over Port Vale would be one of our highlights of the season

Pick the Wembley. 11 now, stick with them through to Wembley injuries permitting, let them gel as a unit and let's see if we can salvage just something out of this car crash of a season.

Should have used that logic 3/4 games ago

It would be nice but since I missed the away fixture I couldn't say I'd seen us do the double

Great_Expectations · Mar 21, 2017

For the first time in ages I was genuinely deliberating whether to go, especially as I had the chance to play myself tonight.

I must be one of those idiot fans who support the team regardless.

trevelfarandwide · Mar 21, 2017

Port Vale are fighting to survive, and doing a semi decent job of it too, no way can we get a point off them.

2-0 Vale.

Nick · Mar 21, 2017

Will Burge play today??

Liquid Gold · Mar 21, 2017

I can already start to feel my Burge anger creeping up on me. Surely he won't be played again will he, no way, can be, just can't, please.

Nick · Mar 21, 2017

I'm going to photoshop a Witch's hat onto burge and print it out.

On second thoughts, maybe a Wizard's Sleeve.

if we do the double over Port Vale then they deserve to relegated along side us

Mild evening so far

Otis · Mar 21, 2017

Down to 4° minimum.

Nick · Mar 21, 2017

Raining now

................RCC...............
DKE....Willis....Harries.....Stokes
...........Stevenson..Reilly..............
Jones...............................Haynes
..................Beavon......................
............Thomas/Pont (half each)

trevelfarandwide · Mar 21, 2017

Have to see some/a lot of changes from MR tonight, the usual rent-a-jobbers are becoming a tedious annoyance.

RCC - DKE Willis Harries Stokes - Jones Reilly Stevenson Lameiras G Thomas - K Thomas.

I'd stick Ruben behind K Thomas, and switch G Thomas and Jones on the flanks intermittently. Need more creativity through the middle today. Still gonna lose, naturally.

Wyken Sky Blue · Mar 21, 2017

Tonight will confirm our relegation.

EDIT: just checked, not officially tonight but Saturday.

What age was Michael Owen and fowler introduced to first team football but to name a few.
