Onto the next.
Back at home after a decent last home game I hope we can make home advantage count again. Another week of being underdogs but another week where I think we are capable of a positive result.
Savin
Hoole Feeney Feeney Benning
Winchester Perry
O'Reilly Castledine Sagoe
Lloyd
We also have the option of playing Feeney at RB and have Pierre at CB (both can play RB). We could also switch to a 4 3 3 with Gilliead coming in for one of the front 4.

We don't won't to go on another losing run and whilst it will be a tough game. Sago and O'Reilly have the pace to cause teams a headache, they need the ball at there feet, Lloyd needs more support so Somone needs to be on there toes so that he has someone to play off. As always our defence is a concern but Perry has done well so far as the holding midfielder. |

I'd like to see that but I don't see it happening. I guess it is good that we have a bit of a dilemma on who to pick all over the pitch now.
CB - I agree that we have to go with the Feeney boys. CB is not the position that you can regularly introduce from the bench so sadly I cannot see Hurst doing this unless Nsiala is injured.
LB - Nurse must be pushing for a start soon, but I think Hurst will stick with Benning. Shame as Nurse was looking very good before his injury and his long throw adds a dimension to our play.
CM - Gillead and Funso have done well since coming in (and show what a mistake Biggins was) - can see Hurst picking either one of them ahead of Perry, which is pretty unfair given his performances. Personally I'd go with Gillead.
MR - for me we have to start with O'Reilly if he is fit with Bloxham coming on as an impact sub. On Saturday O'Reilly was injured which could explain the switch.
ML - Shipley or Sagoe - Sagoe looked fantastic against Bolton, but Shipley can be a match winner. I think Hurst will go with Shipley and swap him out if he is having an off day - that is a real shame as you get the idea that Sagoe needs a run in the team if he is to get going + Arsenal will likely take him back in January if he is not playing.
ST - Lloyd, Marquis or JJ - I think this is really difficult as JJ is probably the better player all round but he clearly has injury problems, Marquis is great at getting stuck in, holds it up well and can finish, Lloyd links up better as well as holding it up well, he also runs around for 90 minutes and wins aerial balls you would not expect.

I shall just be glad to be playing a normal game against a normal team again rather than having the overhyped circus surrounding the game.

Cant see Feeney playing ninety minutes, think he’ll maybe get another half hour depending on how the game is going.
And I’m led to believe that Nurse just isn’t ready yet. I think we need to ease him in in the trophy games with half an hour here and there.
Wouldn’t mind seeing Marquis instead of Lloyd. Lloyd has all the effort and work rate but it’s no use if you’re 5”5 and isolated against a couple of 6”+ centre halves.
Don’t really mind who partners Winchester, could be any of the three.
Let’s see TOR, Castledine and Sagoe get a start as a three.
Saving
Hoole
Nsiala/Pierre
Feeney
Benning
Winchester
Perry
O’Reilly

If he plays, we need Castledine to play a lot closer to him. Almost as a two up top, but with Castledine dropping in to defend. |

I’d say Lloyd was more salmon than kangaroo, but that’s probably splitting hares 🤪
On a more serious note, Benning is a trier and an all round good bloke, but has looked a liability this year. If Nurse is not capable of replacing him soon then it was a big miscalculation not to bring in one more LB/LWB, especially when you see how many central midfield players we have.
As Hoole hasn’t exactly pulled up trees either, it makes you wonder if there is a national shortage of full backs.

I'd be tempted to go to a five at the back. Feeney, Feeney and an other. Unfortunately that means one of Pierre or Nsiala but hopefully with the extra centre half it might tighten things up somewhat.
Hoole looks far better in an attacking sense than defensively. Shipley can revert to LWB.

my side, 3 at the back, 2 wing backs, 1 holding midfielder, 3 attacking midfielders, 1 up top
call it a 5-1-3-1 if you like. but it gives us an extra centre back , 2 wing backs who now have extra help defensively so can get forward more, extra defensive support in front of them, 3 roaming very lively midfielders and a big target up top
cant fail ;-)

Some tough decisions to make for sure. I left the ground on Saturday adamant we need to switch to a back 3. If Hurst does that I’d go with:
Savin
Feeney Nsiala Feeney
Winchester Shipley
Gillead
O’Reilly Castledine Sagoe Jr
Marquis
Both Winchester and Shipley are well placed to play as inverted WBs to support Gillead.

Charlton won't be easy. It could be soon time to revert to a back 3 with a poor defence and a better midfield.
Who gets the greyhound role to shepherd the defence, Winchester, Perry, Ojo, Gilliead?

We’d get cut open with ease and we aren’t Man City, who dominate games who can do it. I do like the 5 at the back and think Shipley’s best games for Shrewsbury have been at LWB. Also agree Marquis is probably the best option to lead the line as a battering ram with the 3 loans playing behind |

With two feeneys as centre backs we will hopefully look a bit more solid. We then just need nurse to come back |

The reality is we've got an awful defence and not a particularly prolific strike-force which obviously isn't a good combination. Our strength is in the midfield area so I think we are always going to play 5 across it as that is where we have the most numbers & quality. The challenge for Hurst is finding the right balance in personnel to protect the defence and provide support to our lone striker.
I think the best 5 we have are TOR, Castledine, Shipley, Winchester, & Rositter but not sure how much we will see of the latter. Personally on Saturday I would go for the first 4 and then Ojo offering some more protection for the defence. I'd then go for Lloyd up front, from what I've seen of Marquis so far, Lloyd looks a far better target man which is ironic considering his size. The back 4 probably picks itself in Hoole, Toto, Feeney & Benning (assuming the other Feeney & Nurse are still not ready to start)

Feeney
Benning
Winchester
Gilliead
O'Reilly
Castledine
Shipley
Lloyd

We need to ignore the last away game. Home form can keep us up. Has to be viewed as each game is a relegation 6 pointer IMHO

It's been said we have a strong midfield...I don't see it. We have many decent midfielders, sure. But they have been at sea so many times already this season...massive gaping holes exposed for the opposition to waltz through and score against our poor defence.
We have spoke at length about poor Winni having to run around covering for the back 4 and how this leaves gaps in midfield.
Our loanee lads. Sageo, Castledine, O'Reilly. They are great at attacking sure. But too much space behind em. They seem to play like individuals at the moment. Hopefully we will see some cohesion and teamwork going forward.
Rossiter being defensively minded...you would think we miss him...but he has been poor when he's played. Perry has played well so far, get him some more starts please.
Bloxham has been enigmatic.

After Perry did such a good job as a holding midfielder against Orient, it makes no sense for him to not start.
