Team for Saturday.

[Ernest]

CKR up front till the end of the season if no loan forward IMHO.

Give him a run we know he can score goals.

No he can't

 

[hitony]

Don't care who plays they could field 11 donkeys for all i care

As long as we win.

Im going for the 11 donkeys as well, i like the look of that well known striker " EHAW" i reckon he will score

 

[saltash seagull]

Carole's out injured, isn't he?

that's why i put seb or jake! seb if he's fit which is doubtful or jake if he's not

 

[saltash seagull]

Keep the same team. They played well. We just need more luck and composure in front of goal.

how can we keep the same team when seb is injured and mcshane suspended

Minor problem NSC can sort anything out. Leave it to LI he will give 500 words on how it can be done.

That's an interesting team, my one concern would be whether CKR would get isolated up front, but I like the fact that you have built a defensively strong shape, given the fact that Gradi's teams are always very progressive and commit themselves forward.

Anothe very slight quibble would be whether El Abd should be CB given how well he did in McShane's absence last time.

 

[London Irish]

[BNothing to lose. They will be attacking us, so we might as well attack them back.[/B]

A lot to lose I reckon if we play into their hands.

Isn't Chippy out for 3 weeks so drop Hart back into midfield and Gatting up front or Nicholas in Midfield in the same formation as above instead of Chippy.

I think Gatting deserves a part, he did well against Watford. Although let's hope he's read up on the off-side rule.

[Les Biehn]

Playing Chippy is a big mistake. He's just not mobile enough to survive in this division. Unfortunately he just doesn't control play enough from the centre circle to warrant his place in the team imo.

If Carole is fit then I would pick the same team as Silent Bob but with Mayo in it. Long term I would be looking to get Nicolas in there but feel he needs some sub appearances while he is getting back from injury.

 

[Silent Bob]

Maybe. Chippy is our best midfielder when he's not as out of form as he is now.

 

[Les Biehn]

I have to say I think Chippy is not mobile or fit enough to play in this division, maybe a couple of years back but right now we need players who get all over the park because if we can't compete ability wise our work rate needs to be high. Hammond and Nicolas (although not til fully fit) have quality and get around the pitch well. Mayo may not have the greatest ability but he is a lot fitter than people give him credit for, he competes and gets around the midfield. Also he doesn't seem to panic as much on the ball when he knows the defence are behind.
