Fully booked. They are looking at a second bus.

$20 is cheaper than a ticket and you get transport and two beers!

I got $2.15 for the win or a draw.

I also backed both teams to score.

I got mariners to win at 4.50, we got this!

Duke anytime scorer is my prediction and carries my cash

Can see Murray getting dropped to allow O'Neill to play behind Simon with the Sheffield lad in at CB. Jem in for Melling (hopefully)

 

[scottmac]

Is the not cb Sheffield fella a lb? If so we might see miller on the pine after last week's 2nd half. Anyone know where he's been training at?

Melling with five cards so won’t be playing

Might see our strongest team of the year starting

Murray does deserve to be dropped. Hard working but not quite up to it yet.

Mallon can come in one the left and Pain can swap to the Right. Millsnake can sit in the stands.

Yeah Mallon is a Left winger but apparently can play LB as well. His delivery into the box is very good. He has been training as LW.

Could we maybe try inverting the game plan?
Maybe park the bus with no press for the first 45, then high press once we know what we have to catch up to?
Play 5-5-0 then Matty, Pain and Nisbett on at half-time to go a 442 or something? ;-)

Its radical, but could work. Given that WSW are prone to folding in the second half, we need firepower equipped to go at them.

So are we, sitting back risks having to catch up before we can think about playing for a win and we know the wanderers can score goals. I think we play our usual game, hope MM manages his subs a bit more proactively and see what the new guys can do. With those players being available there's going to be some welcome selection headaches. It will be interesting to see how cautious MM is about the new guys or if the throws them straight in.

I think we might see Jem starting for Melling (suspension), new defender pushing Aiden forward and to accommodate that midfield we may see Hoole pushed forward and Murray dropped to the bench. Can't see the club not starting Hoole with his recent goals and putting him up front reduces the defensive work we would expect which is a bonus. Bench might be Pearce, Oar, Mcglinchey, Nisbet, Murray and the new LW. That's one too many so maybe Mcglinchey or Nisbet to be dropped depending on where MM wants depth.

So! If they drop Muzz, how about putting Hoole next to Matty to keep him out of the way , then swap Hoole and Muzz at 60mins
