Team vs Southend

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Based on statistical analysis of league games played so far (percentage of points gained per league games started) the optimal team for Saturday is (excluding Alcock who has a 100% record but has been loaned out) :

.................. Howard
Freeman...Edgar.....McEveley.....K Wallace
..............Baxter.......Basham........
....................Scougall.............
.......Sharp.....................Adams
.................Sammon.........

Interestingly we have not lost a league game that Scougall has started


As Edgar is away the next best on the list is Collins.

The full list :

Long 0.00
Howard 0.53
Freeman 0.50
Basham 0.50
Murphy 0.00
Sharp 0.50
Baxter 0.53
Collins 0.47
Woolford 0.08
McEveley 0.59
McFadzean 0.00
Adams 0.63
Sammon 0.59
Scougall 0.83
Edgar 0.57
Campbell-Ryce 0.48
Wallace K 0.52
Reed 0.42
McNulty 0.33
Flynn 0.33
Coutts 0.47
Alcock 1.00
Done 0.47
McGahey 0.44
Hammond 0.33
Harris 0.00

Certainly if I hadn't personally seen Scougall be a passenger in each of these games, it'd be a convncing argument.

Scary thing is, I though this was our best 11 (baring the Beard)

------------------------Howard
Freeman------Basham--Collins----Harris

------------------Coutts---Hammond
------------------------Baxter

Adams-----------------------------------Done
------------------------Sharp

But that was pretty much the team that lost at Crewe

I don't think it matters who plays, we're just shit.

Think we need to stick with that side, & let it gel/develop. (But with Coutts holding, & Hammond a bit more advanced.)

We really shouldn't be needing two holding midfielders. It's complete overkill IMO.

And when the opposition roll out with five across midfield, what then? Hoof it over everyone and pray Sammon is on the park?

How many other teams feel the need to play two statues in the middle? Maybe play the ones with more mobility so they can contribute to both attacking and defending instead of severely hampering us everytime we have the ball.
