Team vs Pigs?

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Was tempted to start Campbell but strongest 11 it has to be...

Cooper

Seriki Tanganga Bindon Burrows

Peck Phillips

Brooks Hamer Ohare

Bamford

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Campbell can come off the bench once they're all knackered and get another brace.

 

[BazWainwright]

Gotta be:

Cooper

Seriki - Tanganga - Bindon - Burrows

Brooks - Philips - Peck - Hamer

O'Hare

Bamford

Need O'Hare on the ball running at them, working with the overlapping pairings of Burrows/Hamer and Seriki/Brooks to feed Bamford.

Philips and Peck anchor midfield

 

[Stretch]

Can't argue with the two posters so far. The team pretty much picks itself.

Blaster on at 60 mins for Philips or Peck, Campbell on around the same time to get his customary goal.

Cooper

Peck Phillips

Brooks Hamer Ohare

Bamford

That's the one. Would like to see Campbell and Ogbene get some time in the second half.

Zero complaints with that, should be enough to win most games at this level.

Most would go with that XI.
Did CW say that Riedewald maybe available for this match?
Would be nice to see him in the squad again

Bin off Burrows for Hjelde, not that it matters much as I don’t expect them to get out of their half.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Pressing side. Make them make mistakes.

But one eye on the Coventry game too. Both are huge.

Two up front for me. Campbell instead of Hamer.

I'd go Burrows for this one due to his attacking output, I'd like to see more of Hjelde though moving forward.

2 Up front with this squad doesn't work.

Portsmouth first half =awful =2 up front

Portsmouth second half = good =1 up front

Whatever - O Hare needs to start - he plays we play better no matter what.

 

[ancientblade]

yes i agree think it will be bamford with o'hare.given a free role in behind i think seriki and brooks will rip em to pieces down our right and i want a minimum 3 - 0 victory

 

[South Sea Blade]

I'd be playing Campbell....he seems to like playing against the pigs.....therefore:

Cooper

Seriki Tanganga Bindon Burrows

Peck Phillips

Brooks Hamer

Bamford Campbell

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Very little debate other than Campbell or O'Hare

I want to be contrarian, but no, the safe option is O'Hare and 1 up front

Hamer to score at least 1, O'Hare too hopefully

 

[Dkc]

Not sure this is a game that Hamer should start. He will be in danger of getting injured by one of their players, and in equal danger of picking up another card. We should have enough to win without him, but if not we can bring him off the bench.

You can guarantee that their fans will be gleeful if Hamer is carried off.

Who would you replace him with?

Peck Phillips

Brooks Hamer Ohare

Bamford

This is our strongest team atm and they should start all the remaining games left this season barring injuries imo

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Two up front against this shower, firepower and presence in the box and just shell the living 5hit out of them with crosses and directing running and overlapping from our lethal right hand side.

Not to mention O’Hare HAS to start against Coventry and QPR so they’ll need to manage the situation.

Cooper
Seriki. Tanganga. Bindon. Burrows
Brooks. Phillips Peck. Hamer
Bamford. Campbell

Get em pasted, this needs to be a bloodbath

Derbies are very tight affairs.

Let’s not forget it was only a month ago we lost at home to Mansfield.

Whilst it wasn’t our first XI from the outset, there were plenty of players who would be in the matchday squad.

It’s not going to be a time to get ahead of ourselves, though if anyone will stamp that out for this game, it will be Wilder.

 

[FTPE]

Pressing side. Make them make mistakes.

But one eye on the Coventry game too. Both are huge.

They play out from the back you know, I mean it doesn't go past the half way line but they do roll the ball out to their defenders (which blows my mind). O'hare and his press could have a field day.

2 Up front with this squad doesn't work.

Agreed, most teams at this level play a 3 man midfield. Traditional 442 struggles to cope with a 433, 4231 or a 352 because the two in midfield are overloaded

We’ve looked ok in spells in a 442 because we’ve gone really and bypassed midfield but we’ve usually surrendered more chances at the same time.

 

[LBA_Blade]

Cooper

Tanganga

Phillips

Brooks Peck Hamer

Ogbene Ings Bamford Cannon Campbell

Obviously for jokes, but hammer the hell out of them with chances and strikers? Fun times, in all seriousness same team as Pompey apart from starting Peck rather than Soumare.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

 

[Corkblade]

I get a feeling Jairo starts alongside Peck, Wilder really rates him and l think he's been sorely missed, Philips to come on after 60 minutes

Mansfield game is irrelevant. Completely different attitude in that game to the rest

Riedewald is now fit and definitely features in our strongest team.

 

[Carlton Blade]

I have a horrible feeling it'll be Cannon over O'Hare

 

[bakeblade]

I can't see Jairo coming straight back in

 

[Nick Jansky]

I can't see Jairo coming straight back in

Nor can I, I think we’ll see him at some point after 60 minutes. But once he’s fully fit I’d expect to see him as first name on the team sheet because he is so important to the way we play. Which then creates a dilemma - who gets benched, Peck or Phillips?
