People wonder why this board is dying when you have pricks like Bob and Swan being pedantic. Clearly it was 4 at the back but it moved Williams and Haynes to the next line because the sentance was too long. Dochurty - Docherty.... My deepest apology for making a spelling mistake. As for the Goalkepper, it only seems like Arnold is rated enough to start so i just posted outfield players. I hope you enjoyed your hillarious comments. Grow up. Yeah, I tell you what’d be a great idea, an elite Inspector with no eye for detail. That’d solve a lot of crimes, not. Honestly, it’s like some people want to live in a real life version of Red Dead Redemption.

Arnold Williams Sadler Beckles Bolton Grant Haynes Norburn Emmanuel Whalley (free role) Payne
Nominally 3-5-2. Bolton/Haynes take turns to get more involved. Then go more attacking by bringing on Docherty AND Okbinahire for the least effective two of Norburn/Emmanuel/ Whalley. Sticking at 3-5-2 if its working or twisting to 3-4-3 with Bolton and Haynes going forward less. Substitution plan has to have two subs at the same time ( disrupts opposition plans). More attacking so you bring on your more pace / ability, not the other way around. Also helps to keep some of our key players fresher. Williams comes on for Payne last 20 mins. He is hungry. Keep him that way. Payne must start up front. He and Whalley know each others games.....the rest are still relative strangers. Waterfall defensive cover if needed. Also Beckles /Waterfall /Sadler can gradually rotate through the remaining games.
The one real concern is Grant. Has been excellent for us so far this season, but is beginning to look tired and getting less effective game on game. Lots of games and he's had a lot of holes to fill and chase down, which is not really his natural game unlike Ogogo last season. That said he starts v Peterborough as it time the law of the ex worked in our favour for once.
Score? 1-3 Grant to either score, get sent off, or get carried off .

What about Campbell? I know Pughy has gone for Williams up front, but I'm surprised to see someone else join in and not pick him.

One mistake we made this season was letting Emmanuel go due to not playing enough .. Emmanuel and Haynes are proper wing backs and suit 5 at the back .. unlike bolton

Emmanuel? don't want to be in pughy's eloquent words a 'prick'. But I've a sneaking suspicion Emmanuel won't be playing.

Too many pricks on this thread making wisecracks. It’s to the immense detriment of this board that posters tend to have an IQ comparable with articulate humans. It’s little wonder most fans flock to the Facebook group.
No wonder this board is dying despite having comparable numbers of, if not more posters, than many seasons in the past.

Big problem with last week was that we played with ten men for most of the game as Gillead was a passenger!!! Truly awful display perhaps not helped by the position asked to play but effort wise was worst I’ve seen in a town shirt for a while. Any town time away from home hoping to use effort, endeavour and shear hard work then leave Gilliead well away from the starting eleven. I’d like:
Arnold Bolton Sadler Williams Haynes Norburn Docherty Grant Whalley Campbell Okenenbirie

How Gillead makes the team astounds me. After Luton away I'd seen enough. He doesn't work hard enough and if he did we might get away with Haynes at left back. We have to play three at the back now and go for it. Yes we'll loose a few, but with three points for a win I feel we have to take more chances. This "grind a result" attitude will see us down.

Okay, here's my tuppence worth.
4-2-3-1
Arnold
Bolton Waterfall Williams Haynes
Grant Norburn
Gillead Docherty Whalley
Okenenbrie
Waterfall instead of Sadler because he's better in the air and he can score a few from corners
Gillead because he was played out of position last week.
Note to SR, Whalley is a winger, not a number 10!

Pick a formation of your own choosing, and try to slot the square pegs in the round holes!!!
I thought Ricketts said Fej was on the bench last week as he needed a rest so he would be ready for the run in...?? Another load of b******s then?!

What's Golbourne doing there? Assuming we are playing 3 at the back, he's no wing back.
I know Gilliead has been dross, hence his exclusion from the 18. I can only assume Haynes is still injured otherwise he'd have been a far better option.
Perhaps it's a flat back 4 with Williams playing RB? Who knows?

I'd guess at the later, although leaving out Bolton, Docherty & Fey is absolute madness. Starting to think Ricketts has a holiday at the start of April and is doing his best to be relieved of his duties as his line ups make little sense. Where are the people who shouted down Askey as Ricketts has been far, far worse?

Our bench consists of two right backs, a centre back, a keeper AND OUR TWO TOP SCORERS!!!
And for the record, if I had a choice of Payne or Holloway as a hold up type player, I’d take Payne every time on what I’ve seen.

Ah well, let's keep an eye on the other games.
Wimbledon v Charlton. Away win please. Blackpool v Oxford. Home win. Bristol Rovers v Sunderland. Away win. Plymouth Argyle v Rochdale. Home win (I've ruled Argyle out of the relegation scrap). Walsall v Bradford. Draw (don't want either of these to get 3 points). Wycombe v Gillingham. Home win.

The tinkerman is too used to championship manager and not real people.
How can our players adjust with all the chopping and changing?
Okenabirhie will be the first player for us to reach 20 goals a season and have to move to secure regular football. It's mental.
