Team for Bournemouth

[Downbeat Bee]

I'd go for:

Nelson

O'Connor
Sodje
Turner
Frampton

Brooker
Lewis
Tabb
Tillen

Gayle
Rhodes

S: Bankole
Pratley
Hutchinson
Rankin
Peters

 

[kendo]

a good sh1t or bust side!!!

 

[Downbeat Bee]

On relection a bit small in midfield - might swap Pratley for Tillen, but ideally I'd like to see Tabb in the centre

 

[Jakalo]

Nelson

Sodje
Turner
Frampton

O'Connor
Pratley
Lewis
Tabb
Tillen

Gayle
Rhodes

Bench: Hutch, Rankin, Ide, Peters, Brooker

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Nelson

Sodje
Turner
Frampton

O'Connor
Pratley
Lewis
Tabb
Tillen

Gayle
Rhodes

Bench: Hutch, Rankin, Ide, Peters, Brooker

I could certainly see the sense in the starting line up - but I'd be a bit worried about changing the system, though one could argue that is exactly what we need to do

 

[Westlad]

Definitely have Pratley, played much better today, take Tillen out.

 

[Ronan]

--------------------Nelson----------------------------
---^-----------Sodje -- Turner -------------^-------
O'Connor -- Lewis -- Tabb -- Pratley -- Tillen
--------Rhodes -- Willock -- Rankin--------\/-------

No actually, 4-4-2 for me

 

[Jimbee]

The line up after our first two substitutions today is the one that should start next week.

 

[flowerpower bee]

we have to win
leave newman out
pair pratley with tabb in cm
and start tillen on the left

nelson

o'connor sodje turner frampton

brooker pratley tabb tillen

gayle rhodes

 

[Shirley Bee]

I'd like to see Tabb play off Gayle as the target man. Gayle is a good ball winner, as demonstrated against Charlton and others, and Tabb would have the pace to make best use of flick-ons, lay-offs etc.

This means a place for Newman alongside Pratley. A more radical approach would be to play Framps in central midfield instead of Newman, and use both Tillen and Rhodes, with Tillen in his preferred position at left back. If this is too adventurous, then Tillen before Rhodes as left midfield, with Rhodes coming on as super sub to score the winner

 

[Shirley Bee]

Another thought: The best we've played all season IMHO was the first half at home to Swansea – with Junior Lewis and Pratley bossing the midfield, and Tillen marauding down the left touchline. Why was Lewis playing against Blackpool (for the first time since Swnasea?) and has now disappeared again?

[brighton bee]

jak linsells team looks pretty good but theres no way allen is going to switch to wingbacks at this stage!we can dream though


oh and a keeper on the bench might be an idea!

 

[grandad85]

nelson kev,sodge,turns,framps brooker,pratley,tabb,tillen gayle,rhodes this is are best team rhodes has got the pace to run of gayle, tillen has got the pace to cover framps when he gets forward. needs a big team effort we need to sing are hearts out and get them going

 

[Bee49]

we have to win
leave newman out
pair pratley with tabb in cm
and start tillen on the left

nelson

o'connor sodje turner frampton

brooker pratley tabb tillen

gayle rhodes

This is right on.Plenty of pace on both flanks.Also Rhodes will be more direct on goal.Good shout.

 

[matt buzzbee]

Put Kev at centre forward.

 

[wanderer paul]

Put Kev at centre forward.

he's not a centre forward......we've showed that when K O'C wasn't at right back we struggled....now he's back we look better....who would you have at right back then....Smith rofl

 

[Pete the Bee]

Nelson

O'Connor Sodje Turner Frampton
Brooker Lewis Tabb Tillen
Gayle Rhodes

Subs. Newman,Willock,Pratley,Rankin,Bankole

:yes:

If only MA would drop Newman

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Another thought: The best we've played all season IMHO was the first half at home to Swansea – with Junior Lewis and Pratley bossing the midfield,

Hutchinson partnered Lewis against Swansea.

If these two start on Saturday we have given up all hope of second.

 

[readingbee]

Don't know which team I would pick all I know is that whatever happens we have to win this and get goals to do it and no ****ing about around the corner flag..........all on attack. So maybe a throw back to yesteryear and play 1 2 3 5.

For those not old enough to remember this formation lets just say a team line up like this.........



Nelson

Sodje Turner

O'Conner Lewis Tillen


Brooker Rankin Gayle Tabb Rhodes

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

--------------------Nelson----------------------------
---^-----------Sodje -- Turner -------------^-------
O'Connor -- Lewis -- Tabb -- Pratley -- Tillen
--------Gayle/Willock -- Rankin -- Rhodes--------\/-------

looks good to me. RHODES MUST START AS WE NEED TO WIN!!!!

rofl rofl lol rofl lol lol lol

 

[nocoat]

Whats the big V on the Left wing for? There is no time for plating on one of the most important days of the season ISB

 

[Wise old Bee]

It's not the starting line up that matters but how flexible we are. If we need to chase the game or it's 0-0 into the second half then we should have Rhodes and Tillen playing wide with Marcus and Rankine up front. Kev could be pushed forward as well. What worries me is if we go 1-0 up and I would keep the fast men up front and pack out the midfield. Any defending on the edge of our penalty area would be suicidal and keeping the ball will be paramount. I think we have the players to do it it's just getting the balance right. Oh yes, no stupid red cards with possible play-offs to come.

 

[christom]

Nelson kev sam turner and Framps, defence has to remain solid. we need an attacking midfield and forward line so Tillen tabb Pratley and Brooker with Rankin and Isiah up top, it is unlikely either will be able to last a full 90 mins so a subs bench has to be attacking, Rhodes, Peters, Ide Willock, and Smith to fit in defence if necessary freeing sam and kev to go up top in desperate desire fior a winner. ( mind you hope we have won the game by half time!!!

 

[christom]

Also stick a bloody big notice on our dressing room wall


ATTACK IS THE BEST FORM OF DEFENCE

so no p*****g about if we take a lead

 

[rg12bee]

MA will have to play what he considers his first 11, seeme to be;-

Nelson

KOC Sammy Turner Framps

Brooker Tabby Newman Prattley

?????? ?????

Rankin Gayle (guessing)

Rhodes must be in line for a starting position up front, his pace if nothing else.

Possibly Tillen at RB and push KOC forward.

Blowed if I know!! Come on MA pick a team that can win this game. Leave someone up at corners, no sitting back for 80mins on a 1-0 lead. No substitutions defending set pieces.

 

[Metro]

We have the luxury of picking the side without any responsibility, that weight will fall on the managers shoulders. Frankly I don't really mind what side is picked because we have to give him and the team 100% and I know we will.
That fat lady hasn't sung a note yet.

 

[Wiggo]

Who would you pick for the Bournemouth Game??

Just wondering what everyone this about team selection for Bournemouth

Please post you teams(including subs) thanks


Mine would be:

------------Nelson--------------
Kev----Sodje---Turner----Framps
Brooker---Newman--Lewis---Tabb
------Gayle------Rhodes--------

Subs: Big George, Tillan, Pratley, Willock, Peters

I would play this team and say go for it, we just have to do our part and that is win!!

I included peters because we have to win so i believe an attacking minded team is the only way to go

 

[nocoat]

If only there was already a thread for this

 

[Wiggo]

sorry didn't notice the other thread...apologies

 

[nocoat]

No worries mate... :computer:

I personally reckon it is time to start Willock instead of Gayle :yes:

 

[hanworthbee]

go for broke lads

Nelson
KOC Sodje Turner Frampton
Lewis
Brooker Tabb Tillen
Rankin
Pillock

 

[Lowri]

whatever happens we MUST NOT under any circumstances have Newman anywhere on the pitch/bench. Im sorry if this seems harsh but he is unable to pass the ball to anyone on our team.

 

[Chelsea Bee]

SN

KOC
SS
MT
AF

PB
DP
JT
AR

MG
SF

Bench:
GB,CW,ST,EH,IR

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

What I'd like

Nelson
O'Connor
Sodje
Turner
Frampton
Brooker
Pratley
Tabb
Tillen
Gayle
Rhodes
subs Bankole, Lewis, Willock, Rankin, Peters/Ide*
[* If Colchester are 2 up at half-time give them a run out]

What I expect is same line up as against Hartlepool

 

[baxter]

Nelson

Smith Sodje Turner Frampton

O'Connor Newman Pratley Tabb

Rankin Gayle


Bench: Bankole Brooker Tillen Rhodes Willock

 

[beedeleted]

Any team that does not contain Newman, Willock or Hutchinson. I would use an attacking team selection with the aim of being 3-0 up sooner rather than later. Tillen should play. Give Brooker 30 minutes only. Gayle should play for 60 minutes.
