Team for Satdee

[Berlin Blade]

It'l be interesting to see if he names and unchanged side. Basham is available apparently.. I think we will be unchanged from the starting 11 at Wimbledon, but personally i'd prefer to see:

- - - - - - - - - - - -Moore- - - - - - - - - - -
- - -- - -EEL- - Basham - - O'Connell -
Freeman - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Lafferty
- - - - - - - - Fleck - - - -Coutts - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - Duffy - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - Sharp - Lavary - - - - - - - -

Bench: Wilson, Hussey, Whiteman, Scougs, Chapman, Done, Clarke.

Done unlucky to miss out. Midfield a bit weak but Basham would be stepping up into midfield. What's everyone else think?

So Wright doesn't even make the bench, despite playing well and adding a bit of defensive organisation over the last few games??

And Done gets benched, despite being MOM last time IMO and contributing 2 assists and a goal in the last 2 games, for someone no-one's seen play and won't be fit enough??

Same team as against the Wombles for me, they've done well over the last few games so they keep the shirts.

 

[Kabba Kabba Doo]

I'd stick with pretty much the same team as the 2nd half, Fleck in midfield rather than Bash, good options on the bench with Lavery, Clarke, Chapman and Scougs too

 

[LJBlade]

Stick with the winning team, if possible of course. If Basham isn't fit then put Fleck in instead.

As said previously, Wright has provided some much needed organisation to the defence and Basham isn't good enough defensively to play central in a back 3

 

[Pinchy]

I think Done (and I'm no great admirer) would rightly be spectacularly aggrieved!!

 

[BushBlade]

I don't think Basham is a CH. He's had as many poor games there as he has CM. He's ok as emergency cover but we have enough CHs to not have to play him there. His best attribute is running.

 

[BushBlade]

That too. And Lavary is unlikely to be match fit enough to start.

Amongst the pantheon of 6ft 3 footballers he is right up there as one of the poorest headers of a football. Not ideal for a League One centre-back.

 

[LJBlade]

I was thinking more along the lines of his positional sense and that he doesn't really have a defensive 'mind' but I also agree that his heading of the ball is poor. His energy is his best attribute and that's best deployed in Midfield.

Lavary is no where near ready yet bench for him .
Got to start with Basham Im not his biggest fan but hes been putting a shift in lately

I'd love to see that line up dane,don't think we will but full of attacking intent,we're at home, 20,000+ fans, let's firkin go for it!

Good selection Dane, on paper it gives us the attacking potential as well as the defensive resolve to take 3 points. Good bench too, it seems a long, long time since I can recall having this strength in numbers. Yes, there's still room for improvement, but as things stand we're combining a healthy work ethos with a fair degree of skill UTB

I think you've nailed it there. I'd be surprised if the team and squad is any different on Saturday. I think Basham will sit this one out - which will be interesting to see how the midfield responds. Many slate Basham on here but I think he does a good job. Coutts or Fleck will have to take up the role of 'midfield battler' - my concern is I don't think this comes natural to either.

Still think we will win. Tight game again, no clean sheet for either side. My prediction is 2-1 Blades win. Goals from Sharp & Clarke (off the bench to score the winner)

UTB

 

[FTPE]

I'm not calling us fickle but we don't need many wins to jump back on the bandwagon do we?

Just seen on another thread that Basham is fit. If so, I'd be inclined to go with him over Fleck to remain unchanged. If he's not 100% I'd be happy for Fleck to come in though.

 

[Come from away]

Why would you expect changes in a winning team, other than for an injury?

Same team as against the Wombles for me, they've done well over the last few games so they keep the shirts.

Same team as Sunday it will no doubt be. And with good reason.

Lavery is, by all accounts, disappointingly miles away from starting due to a distinct lack of fitness.

even fewer defeats to start dismantling the wagon and shooting the horses.

No real reason to make changes. I just hope the formation works as well at home, I think it should do with our narrow pitch. Peterborough are ideal opponents for Done. The subs I've named cover every possibility due to the versatility of the players on the pitch.

Does anyone have an explanation as to why we have narrowed the pitch?

 

[Ricky]

Think it's because it apparently aids the pressing game we want to play, and because we're not playing with out and out wingers.

Ee's a posh un!

 

[larkymasher]

It will be exactly the same starting team as last week.

He has praised the Coutts/Basham partnership and the back 3.

Sharp/ Duffy/ Done all scored and Freeman/ Lafferty have done well.

 

[RealMcCoy]

Cheers for that.

This. But Basham will start if he's fit. can't see Wilder dropping him.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Not a chance in hell he'll drop Done after last week. And I don't blame him. I'm not a fan of Done but credit where it's due - he deserved to keep his place after last week.

Lavery will make his debut - replacing Done - after an hour. And then we'll see a difference.
