October 25, 20223 yr Always expect these to have a far bigger away following than they do. Had some pitiful turnouts last few times we've played them at home.

October 26, 20223 yr 2 cracking games against these last season. More of the same and another win please

October 26, 20223 yr Don’t see Sheehan starting in the league for a while. Happy to give him 20/30 min sub appearances and cup games though. His time will come in a few weeks time. I was impressed with him last night though

He and Morley pass progressively, I’d be content with him starting and pulled after an hour but get your point

October 26, 20223 yr If I was having a little play on Football Manager then something like this would get 3 points against Oxford on the computer… Trafford. Bradley Santos Johnston Iredale Morley Sheehan (or MJ) Lee Sadlier Bodvarsson Afolayan But there’ll be so much more to consider that I wouldn’t dream of thinking about. I’d be just as happy to see 4/5 personnel changes and a different formation as long as it gets us 3 points. Edited October 26, 20223 yr by desperado

I’d be just as happy to see 4/5 personnel changes and a different formation as long as it gets us 3 points. I agree with that line up mate, based on what we saw last night when the subs came on. But then again, I said that after Accy and it clearly didn’t work. It’s a bit of a catch 22 at the moment because the subs are changing the game and so make the case for starting the next game, but then it means that there are 4/5 changes every game which I’m convinced isn’t helping. I’m a big fan of Morley, but I thought he was poor last night - saying that, it was his first game back for about a month, and he was alongside Thomason in the centre. Do you then, drop him for MJ / Sheehan on Saturday, keep him but change the midfield 3 which means he’s got another partner next to him, or leave it the same even though the starting midfield 3 were shite for the most part? Someone’s already said it, but the amount of options that we have, especially in midfield, are both a blessing and a problem and I’m not sure how you resolve it.
October 26, 20223 yr I'll flounce out at 85 minutes again if we're not winning just to make sure we do.
October 26, 20223 yr 11 minutes ago, Eddie said: It’s a bit of a catch 22 at the moment because the subs are changing the game Absolutely. And different subs each game! I’ve not counted, but in our last 4 games, including the Papa John, he must have used nearly every member of the squad! The negative being the lack of consistency not knowing his best 11. But there’s more positives. We’ve won 3 drawn 1. You could argue all of them have made a case for being in the starting 11! Which is remarkable. I can’t think of one player who I would be suprised to see starting on Saturday. I’d be happy to make a case for any of them! And that goal celebration followed by the post match stadium celebration shows how together they are. While it might be unrealistic and very unusual, carrying on in the same vein, (rotating the squad, winning games and keeping everybody happy) would be the ideal scenario. Green Genie was talking about the lack of depth in their squad and how injuries might start affecting them. It just might be that the one element (too many players to keep happy) we are concerned about, is the one strength that gives us a great foundation to push from…
