Team for MK Dons

[Machiavelli]

A victory is what we're after, so I'd go for (and wouldn't be surprised if CH goes for):

------------------------ Stockdale ----------------------------
Bruno ------- Dunk ------- Hunemeier ------ Rosenoir
March ------- Kayal -------- Stephens -------- Murphy
---------------- Baldock ----------- Hemed ----------------

Subs: Maenpaa, Calde, Goldson, Crofts, JFC, Manu, Zamora

Would like to see March and Murphy rotate on the wings, something we haven't done enough of so far. If not winning, both Zamora and Manu on after c65 minutes. If winning comfortably, would like to see Manu get a decent runout.

Would like to see Manu start and score a hattrick then sign the ball and give it to Baldock as encouragement for his next run out.

Looks about right to me.

 

[Keith Patel]

I'd swap Murphy & March purely because I like to see wingers get to the byline and get the ball in, think it'll benefit Sammy B and Tomer as well.

What's the latest on Greer and LuaLua? We need them back.

 

[dazzer6666]

CH said Greer would be available for Saturday in his pre-Wednesday press conference, with Lua Lua not being risked until after the international break. Suspect Greer might play with Dunk or BFG rested. Happy with any two from that three.

 

[Machiavelli]

I've just changed it actually, and put Crofts (who I'd forgotten about) on the bench instead of Ince

 

[perseus]

4-4-2 is producing lots of draws.

I don't mind boring the pants of fans in Yoorkshire but 4-3-3 has always been the way to win home games.

At 66 minutes, I am inclined to pair Hemed and Zamora with Solly March.

Rosenoir at left back at home.

Dunk a definite for me.

Good news. We need Greer on the pitch. Far too many people on here underestimate the captains influence.

Stockdale
Bruno Greer. Dunk. Rosenior
Stephens. Kayal. March
Murphy Hemed Baldock

March offers added width but has also shown the discipline recently to contribute defensively and would allow someone with a left foot to help Rosenior out. Like everyone I'm keen we really go for it.
I would understand keeping Hunemeier to match against Bowditch if there is any doubt about Greer's mobility coming back from injury.

I didn't put him in because I wasn't aware that he'd be available for the MK Dons game. I was of the view that, while Greer was starting, he hadn't done anything to warrant being dropped. His injury has given Hunemeier and Dunk the opportunity, however, and I'd apply exactly the same principle: neither deserve to be dropped. I was at the Fulham game, and they were both challenging for MotM. It sounds as though that was the view of those that have reported on the Sheff Wed game. I don't under-estimate Greer's organisational abilities and influence; I just don't think this means that he should sail back into the first team when those in possession of the shirt are performing well.

------------------------ Stockdale ----------------------------
Bruno ------- Dunk ------- Hunemeier ------ Rosenoir
Murphy------- Kayal -------- Stephens -------- March
---------------- Baldock ----------- Hemed ----------------

Looks about right to me with March on the left, Murphy on the right.

Bruno - Greer - Uwe - Rosenior
Murphy - Stephens - Kayal - March
----------- Hemed - Baldock ---------

How did you come to that conclusion? We're unbeaten after 15 games so far and have played 442 all season.

Last year we played 433 throughout and were almost relegated.

Perseus always has stupid idea's on these threads. Sometimes I get the impression he would rather us go back to the days of Sami Hyypia. WUM I suspect.

Absolutely. GG is a great leader on the pitch. We need Lua Lua with his pace and incisive running back asap as well.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

------------- Stockdale --------------
Bruno - Greer - Uwe - Rosenior
Murphy - Stephens - Kayal - March
----------- Hemed - Baldock ---------

Has to be unless KLL fit.

Edit: just seen Greer for Dunk, tough choice between them.

I don't care what the starting line-up is as long a we score some bloody goals and win by more than a one goal margin. Our strikers HAVE to start hitting the back of the net, and midfield and the defenders need to pitch in. I'd be in favour of a "shoot on sight" game plan.

Indeed. Some of the stuff he comes up with is genuinely baffling.
