best 11?

[up the bees]

whats our best 11 at the moment

------------------------NELSON-----------------------------------

TILLEN------------SODJE-----------TURNER------------FRAMPTON

BROOKER----------PRATLEY---------TABB----------------RHODES

------------------- :dj: ----------RANKIN------------------------

i think with that team and we play the ball to feet we would be in for goal feasts every game

 

[loyalbee]

agreed with kev back soon we'll have a great first 11, but i dont think MA will ever play tabb in the centre with pratley as he seems to favour at least one ball winner in the middle

 

[The H]

there are times when we'll need to launch it and for it to not come straight back... and :dj: for me

 

[Bigbee]

I think thats currently our best 11 , I hope MA has the balls to start Duds on Sat instead of Lloyd .

 

[Simon C]

Don't expect too much from Rhodes too soon. I think maximum of 30 minute bursts from the bench will be the most we can get out of him for a few weeks yet.

I think our strikeforce is going to be based on one big one and one little one with Gayle and as the big men and Rankin, :dj: and Fitz as the littluns. I'd go for and :dj: but that would be harsh on Rankin. I think that's why :dj: has been left on the bench.

 

[Paul O'Brien]

That's possibly our best 11 players (Kev excepted?) but not I think our best team.

Nelson
O'Connor --- Sodje ---- Turner ----- Frampton
Brooker --- ? ------ ? ------- Tabb
Campbell ---- Rankin


The two question marks would ideally be filled with Newman & Skulason
Second choice would be Hutch & Dobbo
Alas, I feel we have the third choice pairing in Pratley & the Invisible Man.

 

[Jimbee]

On Saturday, we use our 4th/5th choice right-back, 2nd choice left-back, 2nd choice right midfielder, 4th and 5th choice centre midfielder and 3rd choice striker.

Whatever MA does this season and no matter how the injuries pan out, one of his most important signings was put out for the rest of the season in the 2nd game and along with the Newman injury has ****ed up the backbone of the side.

So, whilst you're all whining about formations and who should and shouldn't be in the side, have a little persepctive on things.

We're 4th for ****s sake.

[MissMarpledidit]

I agree. If you consider the limits we have in our squad anyway then take out so many of the good players due to injury, the fact we are forth is astonishing.

Bloody 'ell!! I'd def have Pratley a mile ahead of Hutch and Dobbo!! People go on about wanting us to play football on the floor and yet want Hutch in the side??!!

Agree in principle, but I think Pratley is our first-choice central midfielder.

 

[SQUELCH]

before last nights match against walsall, MA was chatting to the fans and 1 guy asked how far away from fitness is Ricky Newman?

judging by MA's reply it felt he had a big role to play this season, you dont get the captaincy otherwise and it is a shame that he's injured.

However, until fit, until Rhodes is fully fit also and until kev is back and until owuse finds is shooting boots 4th place will do me!

brookside rhodes gayle tillen bankole eddie and kev are back i think MA said

cant put rhodes straight in the team yet

 

[Jimbee]

Agree in principle, but I think Pratley is our first-choice central midfielder.

He wasn't when the squad was put together at the start of the season.

 

[Canadian Bee]

He wasn't when the squad was put together at the start of the season.

Because he was at fulham

 

[B2B]

ok, but when?

 

[Jimbee]

Because he was at fulham

What I was trying to say was that, based on MA's idea of a 1st team that he put together, the selections he is having to make at the moment are nothing like what was intended. I realise that it's highly unlikely that Pratley would be selected behind Eddie but he is the 4th choice based on what was expected to be the central midfielders at the start of August.

 

[bees_boy_90]

what about the possibility of

peters - - - - - pratley - - - - - tabb - - - - - rhodes

- - - - - - - - - dj - - - - - - - -rankin - - - - - - -

there is some pase n that forwar line and midfield, this would cause defenses so much trouble.

SODJE -----------TURNER ----------- GAYLE-----------FRAMPTON

sodje would still defend really well and stuff as well as perform his usuall bursts forward - he is good enough to play RB and CB at same time!
