Team v Grimsby

What are your thoughts?

Same side as Saturday or change it up to give a few a rest?

I personally would change it up. Usually I would keep a winning lineup, but I honestly think we could rest a few, keep the others match fit and still get a result.

GK - Hamer
RB - Halls
LB - Johnson
CB - Phillips
CB - Osborne
RM - Newton
LM - Poole
CM - Bean
CM - Hunt
CF - Elder
CF - Rhodes

Subs:
Brown
Bennett
Dickson
Williams
MacDonald

...............no changes...............no need for a rest .....................
 

Team v Grimsby

The same team, hopefully we go a few ahead and then we can think about resting players.
 

Team v Grimsby

I don't think wholesale changes are ever a good thing, especially to a winning formula, but, with a run of Tuesday-Saturday games, a bit of rotation has got to be on the cards. We've got a natural right side rotation and I'd like to see Poole on the left, just to give Wood a rest. In his first full-time season, he can't charge on at his current rate.
 

Team v Grimsby

AS might need to give KOC a bit of a rest, if anything but to give that cut on his head time to heal properly !
 

Team v Grimsby

I wouldn't change Staurday's line up and squad.

As a critic of Halls, I have to say apart from one moment of show boating where he got caught in possession he had a very good game and looked more like the player he could and should be. Well done, credit where's it due.
I am a big fan of Williams and I hope he can improve his end product he is so dangerous with his pace and tries so hard, tough call not to bring in Newton but how can you change the team after Saturday's performance.
 

Team v Grimsby

Same team every game until promotion hopefully. If he rests players and we lose he will get slaughtered. Same again for me barring any niggles.

Exactly :sorted:
 

Team v Grimsby

If anyone has a knock, then give them a break, but otherwise don't change a winning team. If we get two goals up in a game, then bring on some early subs to give players a rest, but let's get the results first
 

Team v Grimsby

I think that tiredness might be setting in and a few might be playing with knocks. I am sure that all are keen to keep playing and if all are fit then I would keep the same team.
 

Team v Grimsby

hmmmm. no need to change a winning team but Halls worries me a little, you know the scenario cold, wet, windy tuesday night by the sea........no gloves please
 

Team v Grimsby

Surely players are likely to be less tired playing in a winning team sitting top of the league rather than a team who, barring other teams points deduction, would be bottom of the table. I imagine Grimsby are probably knackered both physically & mentally after losing again on Saturday. I bet if you gave Sam Wood, Ryan Dickson, Charlie Mac, KOC etc the option to sit this one out if they are tired, they would turn you down flat. Same again after Saturday.

Can you feel the Halls love.
 

Team v Grimsby

Personally, I would give Dickson a break as thought he wasn't at his best on Saturday and maybe an opportunity for a rest, with Johnson a capable replacement. Would also change Williams for Newton, prefer Newton when he comes on as sub as he seems to pay much better. Other than that, keep the Championship winning team together :sorted:

I didn't say Scott would make changes and I fully expect him to stick with the same 16 from Saturday. As I've said in previous threads, if it ain't broke......

However, I seriously think we could afford to make wholesale changes and still have enough about us to beat Grimsby. Obviously I don't know how the players are feeling but if some are in need of a rest then it would be the ideal opportunity to give them one.

Maximum of two changes I think, Williams, Dickson and Wood are the only ones I would consider resting, but I would prefer subbing Wood because he is a pain for the opposition, go 2 up and sub Wood.
 

Team v Grimsby

Not sure if he'll make changes....no need. Dickson is the only one I'd change of we did.

We changed a winning team and won on Saturday :sorted:

I can feel changes....enforced

maybe Dickson and O'Connor out
Poole and Hunt in ?
 

Team v Grimsby

I think he will stick with the same 11, maybe bringing KO in for the game. Personally I would consider giving Poole a run in place of Wood just for this game. Wood has been immense recently and we need that to continue, Grimsby should be winable if we turn up whereas we will need to be at our best to take 3 points on Saturday.

However if I was AS and Wood was clearly good to go then leave him in, if it ain't broke etc. Maybe I just struggle to see how someone can consistantly work that hard!!

What has Halls done to get dropped now for KO?!
 

Team v Grimsby

We always have problems playing lesser teams, perhaps a few changes may give us a team that can match the type of football that these teams give us trouble with. remember, for Grimsby, this is s**t or bust so they are not going to play pretty football and we could pick up injuries or cards.

What did KO do to get dropped for Halls on Saturday ?

I think Scotty may well drop JH, for KO, as it is a Northern away game, and this is what AS has done recently....but I think this would be an error, as JH is showing better form recently and may turn into our best Right back, this season, if his form holds, but I think you knew that anyway.....

I shall have to just wait for my Little Chef Brekky Saturday, hopefully we will be unchanged tomorrow. Rotherham and Grimsby - 4 points would be awesome, but I fear two could be more likely. Hopefully Wycombe will slip up.
 

Team v Grimsby

Think a stern test awaits tomorrow as Grimsby are fighting for their lives , so same team as last Saturday required for me . But if Halls is struggling i'd get Osborne on a bit lively .

I don't think Scott is going to change six of the team that won on Saturday!
our squads not big enough to rest players,

i would go with the same side that beat Bury except for one change, Newton in for Williams
 

Team v Grimsby

Only one I can think of would be starting Elder instead of either Mac/Rhodes given Grimsby's style of play, but otherwise if it aint broke don't fix it :sorted:

I know Heywood hasnt been in the starting 11 of late but if his replacement is in a similar vain to him - they could never handle ball to the floor footie with two nippy forwards running at them and playing long, hoof balls towards Elder could be handled by Grimsbys CB's. Keep the front two as is and change Williams for Newton and possibly Dickson for Johnson, other than that, as is please Mr Scott:sorted:
