R18 away @ WSW

Yeah 433 for mine makes sense. Or a narrow diamond 442 maybe, Oneil at the bottom, God at the top could work. Millar overlaps and gem can cover his ass when he does.

Or maybe a 4-2-3-1, with O’Neill holding defensive duties, Jem alongside as the box to box mid, then Pain, God, Hoole and Matty up front. This way we utilise the strength of the 4-4-2 diamond holding the midfield defensively, but we avoid having no wide players. Also we now have midfielders with the smarts to play this way too.

I'd be very happy with that line up. That's as strong as we've looked in years. And full of players looking to prove themselves and some quality on show to boot

Goal scoring striker required.

BR won. making this win even more important for both us and WSW.

It's going to come down to hunger, confidence, and overall tactics and subs.

That's so true. To be honest, we are lacking in all of those attributes. There's been glimpses of hunger, but not over 90 minutes.

I think the key word is adaptive. Every team has schooled us because we weren't able to adapt to their tactics. To me most of that comes from fitness and Mulvey being too slow to act.

I'm not saying he is a bad tactician, he's just a bit hesitant to react.
I'm hoping this is the match where we string 90 minutes of our best.

If we do that and get a bit of luck we will win for sure.

I'm tipping this match to be Murray's breakout performance.

Just about to head down to the game on one of the two supporter buses. Fantastic turn out by the fans and just hoping that the boys don’t let this opportunity slip, like the last time we played at Souless.

I will admit to being a little nervous about this game, given what is at stake and with Duke, Baumjohann and Ziegler back in their side.

COYY!

Pro’s we’ve been consistently improving, and we’ve made 3 signings that sees us stronger than we’ve been in a while and Oar back is a plus. I think we’re playing much better football as a team than Wanderers but they still have the quality to hurt us. With God and Gem we should be able to start with a powerful midfield.

Cons, we still don’t have a lot of attacking power off the bench, new players mean the team has not played a lot together. Oneil has mostly been great at the back and his moving back to the middle could disrupt us. We can’t rely on our centre forwards for goals. We have the worst keeper in the league. Our coach, possibly just because of our terrible record, is reactive not proactive when we’re in front. Melling to a leaser degree Rowles and to a massive degree Kennedy, are all capable of making a critical error that costs us the game. Hoole makes poor decisions in attack. Millar might be a mental case. We never get the rub of the green.

But the Wanderers are bloody awful imo.

We should do them.

COYY



EDIT: just saw timmahs starting 11 post.

Looks like 433. Nice.
Did not expect Matty to be dropped. Sorry but this makes me happy. Gives us firepower off the bench and increases Matty’s danger factor hugely imo - much better when his full energy is exerted on tired defenders. Also I think Murray has been working really hard off the ball and will link much better with a mobile midfield and especially pain and Millar on the break.

Oneil god and gem is a kick arse midfield.

Oh god...Hope is rising,

Probably the strongest starting 11 we've had all season. Matty Simon not in the rotation at all is very interesting. Anyone have any info about that?

Come on you yellow and blue!

 

[Charlie1]

Strong line up for the mariners I think we can win this game might even have a bet paying $5 on sports bet

 

[shipwreck]

Anyone know if Simon is injured or dropped?

Matty must be injured if not even on the bench?
