Team for Hartlepool?

[fencer/bee]

i would start the same eleven, for the next game, the balance looked much better...

Which 11? the ones who started or the ones who finished?

 

[loyalbee]

Willock in for Gayle, get him to put his money where his mouth is

 

[bee1958]

How many times this season has the same team started?

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Keep Gayle

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Framps for Tillen, despite a good performance. Can't leave out Framps.

 

[ChinaBee]

same team for me, wanted Gayle to start and he did

 

[Mads Bee]

Willock in for Gayle, get him to put his money where his mouth is

Gayle worked like a trooper yesterday and chased every ball down ( resulting in his goal )

Lloydy looked heavy legged and tired and it was a great switch bringing on Willock for him ( who like Gayle chased every ball down and again scored because of it )

Put Framo back in but drop Newman and keep Tillen midfield.

Start with Lloyd but if he is a donkey like he was yesterday, then bring on Willock as he looked v.lively

Did his fair share of donkey work but no donkey.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

The one change I would consider would be Frampton for Tillen.

The other ten should stay the same.

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

For me, Frampton left-back, Tillen left-midfield, Tabb centre midfield in place of Newman (but I think it will be a straight Frampton for Tillen swap).

Though Marcus played reasonably well on Saturday, at home I'd rather play a more mobile second striker as with a Gayle-Owusu combination we'll just belt everything up high to them (though it worked for 2 goals on Saturday, we won't find many defenders as bad as Swindon's)

I agree with your Framo at back and Tillen midfield and drop Newman. However, in the whole teams defence, I found that they played a lot more footie to the floor on saturday and the two goals came one from a Nelson goal kick and the other from a pass by Brooker ?? Compared to watching them the last few games, the footie/ passing etc was a lot better and Gayle was an absolute battler on saturday and fought for everything. Much as I like Lloydy and he is good for holding the ball up etc, he was beaten time and time again to balls and especially headers on saturday against a not so good defence. Maybe start with Willock and Gayle and see how things pan out. I dont think Hartlepool will be a walkover but watching their match highlights, their defence was pretty poor and with great runs on saturday coming from Willock/Gayle/Tabb/Tillen and especially Brooker if we play like that the goals will flow. If they can let 3 goals in at home then we have a real chance. ( Ok, they scored 4 but I do not have any worries about that as our back four are the biz )

 

[sgaz]

Absolutely no need to change things!........so don't..............please

 

[Chelsea Bee]

Am going to game, but can ne one please recorded sky sports as i want to see jeff stirlings face when hartlepool are relegated

 

[Matty D]

Now Lloyd's out, how about:

----------------Nelson----------------
--------------------------------------
O'Connor---Sodje---Turner---Frampton
--------------------------------------
Brooker---Pratley---Newman------Tillen
----------------Tabb------------------
--------------------Gayle-------------

Subs: Bankole, Smith, Hutch, Rhodes, Willock

With Peters and Mousinho not featuring for a while Hutch might just get the nod to replce Lloydy in the 16 that went to Swindon.

 

[Mr Cynical]

I'd go for;

Nelson

KOC
Turner
Sodje
Framps

Brooker
Newman
Pratley
Tabby

Gayle
Willock

Subs: Bankole, Rhodes, Tillen, Peters, Lewis

Wouldn't be too upset to see Ide on the bench either..

I'd go for almost the same team, but with Rhodes to swap places with Tillen and Peters as sub rather than Hutch. An an option Willock and Gayle may also be interchangeable.

 

[BeeAlzibub]

Nelson

KOC
Turner
Sodje
Framps

Brooker
Newman
Pratley
Tabby

Gayle
Willock

My sixteen as well, but yes Ide for Peters.
Peters too lightweight without any tricks to compensate for my liking.

absolutely matty d. couldn't agree more. tabb would be great just behind gayle, you could even play willock instead of gayle, but please, please not both cos guaranteed we'd start playing long ball.
would put tillen left mid and have rhodes on the bench.

 

[Jakalo]

-----------Nelson---------------
KOC ---Sodje----Turner--Framps
-----------Lewis--------------
----------------Pratley--------
-------Tabb-------------------
Brooker-----------------Tillen
-----------Willock-------------

Bench: Bankole, C.Ide, Hutchinson/Newman, Rhodes, Gayle

 

[busheybee]

Nelson
O'Connor - Sodje - Turner - Frampton
Brooker - Pratley - Lewis (unlikely I know but I like him) - Tillen
Tabb
Gayle
Subs. Rhodes, Willock and three others, won't need them as these 13 guys will do the business.

 

[Pete the Bee]

Nelson

O'Connor-Sodje-Turner-Frampton

Brooker-Pratley-Tabb-Tillen

Willock-Gayle

Newman doesn't deserve to be in the side, he's playing sh1t at the moment. I'd rather MA doesn't take a risk on a half-fit Rankin either. Chances are both will feature however.

 

[flowerpower bee]

Willock-Gayle

this would be my selection also
tillen deserves to stay in the team and
fits nicely in left midfield with
tabb slotting into his central midfield role

the bench...
bankole-lewis-newman-rhodes-peters

hope MA doesn't consider a hobbling isiah rankin

 

[Edmundo]

No way will Newman be left out.

 

[Jimbee]

I'm very disappointed with Newman to be honest as I thought we'd be getting an improved version of Talbot despite his age. That said, we have a team on a 6 game unbeaten run and you don't just drop the captain and one of the mainstays of the side with 2 games left on a whim.

We won comfortably from what I can tell on Saturday and we're a top scorer down for this week so as far as I'm concerned it should be :thetruth: in for and a fight for 5 places on the bench amongst the rest.

There should be 5 outfield players on the bench too so that MA has more options IMO.

Please explain how not having a sub goalie gives you "more options". What if Nelson gets injured?

Whilst I understand the sentiment behind your comment, if you have 5 subs, it is ridiculous not to include a keeper among them (even if it's George!).

4 outfield subs should be more than enough IMHO

Totally agree, leaving aside any doubts about George. If an outfield player is good enough he should be in the team or the first 4 sub picks anyway. Can think of few more pointless risks to take: imagine dropping vital points because Nelson got injured or sent off and we'd decided not to bother with a reserve keeper.

Of course if we have an outfield player good enough to be a back-up keeper it's different, but I'm not aware of anyone

 

[Jimbee]

I'm sure I had some logic for this 8 hours ago but I can't remember for the life of me what it was.
