With the score being 2-1 do we go attacking or the same side. IMO we should start Kyel Reid, i'm not too sure about their right back and i think Reid was screaming out to come on. Also once Forster had come on we looked far more attacking and he created decent chances.
So....for me it's
...........................Randolph............
...Richardson......Sodje (if fit).......Dailly.......Borrowdale
....Sam.............Bailey............Semedo.......Reid
.....................Burton.........Forster............

We need to win - end of, so we start with our most attacking side and retain Sodje against a couple of pacy forwards.
First half - yes, they over-ran us early on and a stronger midfield would have negated some of their threat, it's not like we were threatening their goal with two up-front, so we wouldn't have missed anything playing one less striker. As Carly Burn says, tonight was not a game for Mooney and Foster should have started, we needed his threat and nous in front of goal, Mooney has some positive attributes, but he's simply not physical enough for that kind of game.

Just what do you think Shelvey would have produced last night...you talk like he's the missing link or something who could have single handedly taken us to the promised land................he's just a kid learning his trade FFS.
racon shouldn't be dropped. he is in good form and although he didnt particularly make his mark last night he didnt do anything to warrant being dropped.
i think we leave it as it is (but with forster coming in) and have reid as an impact substitute - he has generally done well as a sub but then underperformed when starting games.
i don't understand leaving forster out the last two games - against leeds him and burton finally began to look like a strike partnership, which has not happened once all season between two of our centre forwards.
Yeah, good enough for Liverpool but not good enough for league one......
Any team without Mooney in it would be good enough for me.
Solly just might make a difference.
And the winner of most ridiculous post of the day goes to......
most sensible post of the morning so far clem Solly over Richardson is ridiculous
do people who were at the match honestly thik bailey was poor he put more blocks in than anyone, we are still in this people i am telling you we shouldnt be but we are and i reckon we will punish them for it
Richardson - Llera - Dailly - Borrowdale
Wagstaff - Semedo - Bailey - Reid
Burton - Forster[/align]
Sam, Mooney and Akpo coming on as impact subs.
As for Mooney, he shoudn't even be on the bench Monday, absolutely awful!
Why bring Wagstaff on, did he actually touch the ball, hedless chicken springs to mind. If Lloyd Sam had to come off why not switch Bailey to the right and bring Reid on who at least looks a threat.
To have any chance on Monday, we can't put out the same team as last night.
What does Wagstaff bring to the team, absolutely nothing IMO and as for Mooney he can run about all day but never looks like scoring. His first touch is on par with Jason Euell and how many times does he loose the ball. Shouldn't be anywhere near the team on Monday.

Brief Richo to overlap, while Semedo sits and covers. Racon works the centre and looks to cover behind Reid if needed. Bailey can tuck in a bit to support Racon and try to get on the ball and should look to get forward as much as possible. Burton plays the hold up role and Forster works the channels (especially the right one in support of Richo). Reid is told to go out and get at them and attack, attack, attack.
It looks a bit unbalanced on paper but I think it might work in practice. Remember we played with a diamond formation at home to Swindon and it worked well until the sendings off. With the subs we have we can easily revert to something more othadox if it doesn't work.
