Below Ben Turner, above Craig Pead

At the start of the season when we were playing two pivots and signing a Hamer replacement/had Hamer. He’s come into his own in a three man midfield because we can bring someone in with passing range and ball carrying ability and keep him in the side. We were looking at a situation where Sheaf...

Are these people with us in the room right now?

Think MvE could be key if we can play him. Going to be a counter attacking game.

Actually a good shout

Yep. A classic “fuck you you weren’t that fit anyway” situation.

Palmer can in theory play in 5/6 forward and midfield positions. I’d actually rather him in an 8 role than O’Hare and I do think we need a CM who can drive with the ball. But a deeper 9 or a 7/11 I could see him do OK too. Just can’t rely on him cos of fitness, so a bit like Fadz will probably...

Ive not said anything about who starts. Obviously that’s down to form and fitness. Just looking at the squad. The order I put players is just how they come to me as I write them.

What? What on earth are you on about? Keeping him in the squad is ploughing on and not giving him time?? Surely injuries is why we want options for Saka and Wright? It’s like you’re determined to have a go but haven’t actually read what I’ve written?

Could probably get away with one winger and use Palmer or Tavares there.

We don’t have a number 10 mostly. We play with two 8s, and have one and no challenge so I’d like two. Squad: Wilson/Collins/Moore MvE/Lats Thomas/Fadz Kitching/CB (or Binks) Sheaf/Kelly Eccles/CM CM/Allen Wright/LW Simms/Godden Saka/RW Ayari and probably O’Hare off. Plus maybe Moore and...

Two wide player and two CMs for me. If Binks goes and Fadz isn’t reliable another CB too.

Its a good job Swifty turned us down in the summer then!

Looks like Palmer might be on the bench, must be the first time we’ve had everyone available? Collins MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell Eccles Sheaf Allen Saka Simms Wright S: Wilson, Lats, Dasilva, Binks, Kelly, Ayari, O’Hare, Palmer, Godden

Said it before. Wright has one more goal than Vik had after the same minutes *last season*. No one was saying Vik had gone off form at the beginning of last season.

Ill take it and run

Yeah and I’d rather watch games won because someone has come on fresh and played well than because players are tired. I’d honestly have as many subs as you want within limits on stoppages, if it didn’t hand such an advantage to rich clubs.

Some of Allen’s runs from deep were excellent, managed to get through untracked two or three times first half. Like Wright, once we’ve got a midfield that can consistently pick those runs out we’ll be laughing. I think Simms will do better than Godden in that style. Wright, Simms, Allen, Saka...

Penalties needing more than “contact”

Old fashioned off side
