Team for MK Dons

Seems to me we are going to have a problem with selection for this game, Talbot injured yesterday makes our midfield look decidedly short, big gamble to play him on sat when we really need him against Pool the following week.
The freturn of Framps is a bonus which will free up Solako to play wide left however unless Hargreaves is fit I fear we will have very little in midfield that being the case i would advocate Dobbo playing there with Sam covering at RB and Fitz in the middle.

Nelson

Sodje Turner Fitz Framps

Rankin Dobbo Eddie Solako

Burton Tabb

Would like to try Jay with Burton as he might appreciate some of Burtons lay offs and be more dangerous in the box

I `ll have a pint off what your drinking Christom mate.

Move Sodje?
Play Fitz?
Tabb upfront?
Rankin wide when he is crap there and has no confidence at present?
 

Team for MK Dons

not that i've seen the bees all season but everyone seems to be suggesting salako seems to be playing a blinder at left back.
similarly, it wasn't so long ago that people were saying rankin was playing his best games for us on the right wing.
so i don't know why, when given the chance people want to play these people elsewhere?

a suggested line up for me would be
nelson
dobbo sodje turner salako
tabb eddie framps(?) hunt
may burton

Talbot is also on 9 bookings now I believe so I doubt if he will play to save him for he replay.

tabb hutchinson salako

Believe that Rankin is suspended for this one.

I'd also rest Salako (and give Hunt a full match for fitness) and Burton (give Hal and/or May the start).

Oh dear! Dobbo looked totally unfit so I wouldn't like the idea of him and Hutch in midfield and why break up the partnership of Sodje and Turner? Tabby's gonna have to play in midfield so May should partner Burton up front. Anyway, is Eddie fit? He didn't look too good when he went off..

Might be worth giving Peters a game was surprised he didn't come on at the end of Sat's game..

Am I the only one that thinks that now there is a gap with a game in hand, the game on Saturday is a must win priority?

Quite agree, yes the cup will bring in much needed money, but promotion also brings in money. I tell you what lets win them both :sorted:

We might have to forget midfield altogether for this weekend!

-Rankin suspended; Talbot injured / rested for cup; Eddie looked pretty groggy when he went off (concussed?); Dobson has lost all his pace & just about making 90 mins @ present; Frampton - any reaction to 1st game back? Hargreaves,still doubtful? Oh, & Hunt was certainly feeling his injury again by the end of the game!

I really like Salako at left back, causes a lot of damage with his runs and crosses and is experienced enough to know how to defend.
 

Team for MK Dons

With our injury list:

Nelson.

Salako,Turner,Sodje,Frampton.


And the next 6 fittest.
 

Team for MK Dons

I don't think the back 4 will change.

Burton and May will probably play up front.

Midfield is tricky.

I think we may have Tabb, Frampton, Hutch, Hunt.

Talbot on bench in case it goes wrong.
 

Team for MK Dons

According to MA "we only have 10 fit outfield players plus 2 keepers". :sad:

Hence it looks like the team picks itself.

MA also says that everyone at GP tomorrow must do their utmost to help the team to victory. :yes:

Bring yer boots lads - you might just be needed on the pitch! :idea:

Based on his pre season showing.

By the way MK dons look a very good bet at 9/2 to beat us tommorow.

To be fair, what ive seen in reserve matches at the training ground he's got a half decent touch but is far to light weight to start a first team game yet.

....and based on Hargreaves pre-season showing he shouldn't ever play for us again....and please drop Talbot because his first five matches ended in defeat.....and Eddie was hopeless......and Turner had some dodgy moments in his early games....

Anyway - reading the update from Martin this afternoon it may be worth everyone bringing their kit and boots........ but only if you didn't have a 'poor' pre-season that is.

MA's OS comments suggest that we're struggling to put a team together due to injuries, whereas the BBC site just says the following:

"Brentford midfielder Chris Hargreaves (calf) and defender Andy Myers (ankle) are both rated 50-50.
Isaiah Rankin serves a one-match ban while Kevin O'Connor (foot) and Jamie Lawrence (knee) are out"

This makes me think that MA will be resting a few players, which I suspect he would not be doing if it were not for the replay.

I just feel that MA has got to put his best possible team out tomorrow, without taking any big risks on injuries, and he must not even think about the replay. We need the 3 points if we are going to continue to push for promotion, especially since if we don't win and others around us do and then consolidate their position next week when we are playing the replay, we could well drop down a few places. This, psychologically, could be a big blow, especially if we lose the replay next week.

At the end of the day, any players that MA is thinking of "resting" tomorrow could just as easily get injured in training as they might in tomorrow's game, so why "rest" players when every game is now important. Also, we have a full week before the replay for players to recover as there is no midweek game.

I can understand him possibly not playing Talbot and/or Hargreaves if they are not fully fit, (although I think that we need at least one of them +Hutch to start ideally), but talk of "resting" Nelson or Burton is just nonsensical to me, and, I hope, to MA.

We'll just have to see what team he puts out tomorrow.

Assuming it is only Hutchinson, Rankin, O'Connor, Hargreaves, Lawrence, Myers and Talbot that are out, then:

Nelson

Dobson
Frampton
Turner
Sodje

Hunt
Tabb
Salako

Hmm, I give up, we haven't got any defensive midfielders!

dobson and frampton can be the defensive pair in central midfield
sodje can move to RB to accomodate fitz alongside turner as CB pairing
salako remains at LB

tabb and hunt complete the midfield four
with burton and may upfront
and nelson in goal

that's a good side
