Team v Wimbledon

Hanson is starting today. That's not my opinion it's a fact.

I'm astonished anyone thought otherwise (No, you're right; I'm not really). All this 'last half hour impact sub' bollocks never had any foundation in reality.
 
Iv no issue with him starting if we move the ball quick, out wide and then cross it. I do have an issue if we just go back to front. There would be irony playing against Wimbledon in that style!

Iv always thought wilder wanted a 'big man little man' partnership up top it's just Clarke hasn't been fit or hasn't performed.
 
I’d like to see


-------------------Moore

-----EEL---------Wright------O’Connell

Freeman------------------------------Lafferty

---------------Coutts-----Fleck

----------------------Duffy

----------------Sharp------Lavery



Subs

Long

Basham

But I predict

-------------Sharp---Hanson

Long
Wright

Not sure why you've put Scougall on bench. That mean's we'd have 4 central attacking midfielders in the line up and on the bench
 
Some amazing team selections here. I bet hardly anyone has EVER seern Carruthers,Riley,O'Shea or Hanson play yet plenty are spouting how they should all start as if we'd signed Messi,Ronaldo,Costa and Hazard.
Makes you wonder how them numpties we've had to put up with have managed to get us into such a promising position.

I'm afraid the irony has already been secured by Bassett's legacy. In the eyes of the wider football world, today is Hoof North v Hoof South and just to emphasise that, the man who brought Charles Hughes' golden vision to life will be in attendance.

We'll need Tufty's proper football for a few more years yet to redeem ourselves, sad to say.

Not one person in this thread has suggested that Carruthers, Riley, O'Shea and Hanson should all start. If you're going to try and have a dig at people's team selections then at least post yours up so we can see what a tactical genius would do.

Have you got any evidence that 'the wider football world' still see us a hoof ball team or is it just in your own head?

Anyone....But....Runaround.

Plenty have advocated GIVINEMALLARUN mate.

My team?

Moore

EEL Wright O'Connell

Freeman Lafferty
Fleck
Duffy Coutts

Sharp Lavery.


Hansen. Carruthers. O'Shea. Basham. Long. Riley.Brookes.

I can't see anyone who has suggested playing them all. I've seen some suggest playing one or two which I can completely understand with us coming off the back of 3 games without a win.

For what it's worth I'd go with the same team as you with the exception of possibly Hanson for Lavery.

Surprised people are dropping Basham ahead of EEL after he gave the worst performance in a blade shirt this season.

EEL has had two shockers on the bounce, his distribution varies from the sublime to the ridiculous but having said all that I still wouldn't drop him.



He's our only proper big defender and we need him.

Hopefully he will play through his blip and come good again.

I wouldnt drop Basham either.

I'd keep the same back three or be tempted to play four at the back.
 
I'd play:

Moore

Basham Wright O'Connell
Freeman Riley
Coutts (Carruthers 60 mins) Fleck Duffy
Sharp Lavery (Hanson 60 mins)


ALTHOUGH I think Wilder will play the same team as Fleetwood but Hanson up front with Sharp. Again, a decision not to play Wright will prove costly.
 
Hoping for

Moore
EEL - Wright - O'Connell
Freeman - Coutts - Fleck - Lafferty
Duffy
Hanson - Sharp

Subs: Long, Basham, Riley, Carruthers, Oshea, Lavery, Done

I think that
Hanson will start as Wilder is clearly trying to find that balance and partnership up front. It's a bit harsh on Lavery who hasn't done much wrong really. As for whether we play hoof with a big lad in the team, I'd hope not. My recollections of Hanson all revolve around him attacking crosses and scoring in front of Bradford's away following. Can h come short and bring midfielders into play ? Lets hope so.

This match day 18 also means we have 8 first team squad members kicking their heels this weekend. There are certainly some decent options available as the winter slog continues
Wilson, Scougall, Hussey, Mcnulty, Reed, Clarke (injured), Chapman (injured), Brooks

It is interesting how all our managers come in and talk of wanting to have a small, tight-knit group of 22-23 players in the first team squad. Then gradually it starts to balloon again into 27 or 28.

If we continue to have a bad run, no doubt certain people will start to include Academy players and moaning that we have 43 Professionals on the books.
 
How isn't O'Connell a proper big defender, because he's not black?!

I was just about to ask the same question. O'Connell is an inch taller than EEL (according to the internet at least) and I'd say he's just as strong. I suppose he doesn't have 'beast' as his nickname so he can't be a proper big defender.
 
O'Connell's at least as big as EEL and is better in the air. But he's decent on the ball so can't be classed as a 'proper big defender'!
 
.................Moore
.........EEL Wright JOC
Freeman Coutts Fleck Lafferty
.........Duffy Carruthers
................Sharp

It's inevitable at the rate we change managers. Whenever a manager comes in they'll be players he doesn't really want but is stuck with. He'll get some out but not all of them. Then, it's likely that one or two of the players he brings in won't work out. So it's easy to end up with five or six players that are surplus to requirements.

And whether we go up or not, it will be the same next season. Either we'll need to strengthen or we'll need to ship out some of the bottlers. Whether the owners like it or not, that's how all football clubs work.
