Loss I think

PNE Hull on Sat is another good fixture for us on Sat, one of them dropping points

 

[Evo1883]

Really tough game , I think we will likely lose this , a point would be excellent

 

[Pezza]

It feels like our squad is getting smaller and more tired, this game coming on Friday is not ideal, I'd be delighted with a point.

 

[David O'Day]

Question is

Back 4 with Palmer, Wrigt and Simms up top or back to a 5

 

[mmttww]

Collins
MvE
Thomas
Latibeaudiere
Kitching
Bidwell
Kelly
Torp
O'Hare
Simms
Wright

Feels like a game for three CBs.

Did robins say anything about taking wright off at HT last night? Hopefully not another injury

This, but Eccles starts alongside Torp

Bit of a knock, nothing to worry about but not worth the risk

 

[Domo]

2-1 cov, torp from distance, simms

 

[Joy Division]

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Would take a point if offered now.

 

[Martin180]

Collins
MvE
Thomas
Lati
Kitching
JdS
Torp
Kelly
O'Hare
Palmer
Simms

 

[skybluecam]

90 mins of playing keep ball vs some part timers and Kelly is starting again? No thanks.

I think we probably lose this whatever we do but stick to a back 4, Eccles and Torp midfield, Wright Simms Palmer front 3.

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Anyone know why Bell was 2nd keeper. Where was Collins and Moore? Is Collins ill? Really strange why he isn't playing?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Prepare to be disappointed lads because the wing back system is back and will be for the remainder of the season due to the Tats injury

 

[Tommo1993]

2-0 loss.

 

[mmttww]

90 mins of playing keep ball vs some part timers and Kelly is starting again? No thanks.

or it's 90 mins showing he's fit enough to play a part like he did at the end of last season.

We need leadership and a calm head. If he's got Torp alongside him, I can see it working.

Has to be done, can't be playing Tavares out wide in some of these games

As much as we all will be disappointed to hear this - it’s getting to that stage where don’t have much option /fitting square pegs round holes.
Example palmer can’t be trusted wide left or right of that attacking 3 really, especially against better teams.

in robins and team we trust.

Yep hand been forced really. Just gotta get on with it.

We weren't playing badly with it at the start of the season, we just weren't taking our chances and concededing the odd stupid goal.

When Sheaf is fit you can then also use the box with him, Torp, O'Hare and Palmer - that has great potential.

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

In that case MVE really has to step and use his pace effectively

Im guessing it also means JDS the other side

I'd rather see box than 2 up front against WBA

I’d use that now Kelly > sheaf : palmer > wright

Yeah, people are editing history a bit. We dominated games, didn't take chances. Different situation now.

Simms
Wright

Agree with this and Palmer instead of Wright if he isn't fit.

 

[Martin180]

Simms can play the lone role so it doesn't mean we have to play two up top so Palmer and O'Hare can play off him

 

[procdoc]

So based on Saddlebrains info I reckon we go with
Wilson
Thomas Lati Kitching
MVE Eccles Torp Bidwell
O’Hare
Simms Wright

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I think some are forgetting how good Bidwell is at getting up there, last season he was always positioned ready in both defence and attack so a switch to a 5 doesnt mean he drops out

 

[Martin180]

So based on Saddlebrains info I reckon we go with
Wilson
Thomas Lati Kitching
MVE Eccles Torp Bidwell
O’Hare
Simms Wright

I think having played Lati in midfield this season he will make an ideal sweeper and be comfortable bringing the ball into midfield

It might work with a bit better now we've got Torp in there and O'Hare back actually.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The other thing is that post Fadz we might sit a bit further up the pitch
