Team v Macclesfield

Assuming Elder is suspended and we don't bring anyone in. Oh, and that Newton is fit.

Hamer
Halls Phillips Bennett Dickson
Newton O'Connor Bean Wood
Williams MacDonald

Subs: Brown, Johnson, Hunt, Poole, Ademola.

Newton--Bennett-Phillips--Dickson

Williams---Bean-----KoC---Wood-

----------Elder---Mac-----------

Bench: Brown, Johnson, Halls, Hunt, Poole

If the FA support their Golden boy Elder will face 4 games out and I think Andy will be forced to bring in a loanee striker who goes in for Elder.

Let's all stop assuming and wait until we can make an assessment based on the facts. There are too many intangibles at this point ie

- Elder's potential suspension

- Possibility of new striker coming in

- Bean's fitness
 

Team v Macclesfield

Definately think poole deserves his place... don't get me wrong, i love Sam Wood and he's gonna be a great player soon but Poole is also a great player.

everyone has dumped Osborne too, AS won't drop him, get that in your heads first!

Hamer.
Osborne, Bennett, Phillips, Dickson
Hunt, Bean, O'Connor, Wood
Macdonald, Williams

Subs. Brown, Johnson, Newton, Poole, Ademola or Halls

IF Elder is suspended. If Not then Williams RM, Hunt Sub, Elder CF. Ademola/Halls, tea boy/shower cleaner
 

Team v Macclesfield

Osborne is not one of the best 16 players and this club and based on yesterdays performance, it would be a danger to ourselves to play him. Particuarly if they have a tricky winger who like to take it to the line. Halls and Newton may not be perfect but I'd feel safer with them in the team. I'm not saying Osborne can't improve but Macclesfield is a game we really should be looking to win and I can't see what Osborne brings to the team that Halls or Newton wouldn't.

But Scott will probably pick him despite that.

Well in that case you are not watching closely enough.

He is taller, quicker and stronger than both Newton and Halls, he is better in the air, quicker on the turn and has scored more goals than the two of them combined.

I worry Brentford fans sometimes, people who look at one game when he was two vs one for most of the match rather than taking into account a nine game unbeaten run where he has earned his place :shrug:
 

Team v Macclesfield

If we win appeal - unchanged.

If not, I'd consider sticking with Williams up front. I think he's a confidence player and it seemed to be 'happening' for him against County more than it has for a while. Can Hunt play right wing? If not then Halls or Newton there, and add Ademola to the bench.

Quicker and taller yes, but I would wager that Newton is stronger than him, not that I think it is a vital attribute for a full back. Defensively he has done ok and I actually think he did well against Weston on saturday.

The problem is his distribution, it just isn't improving which is a real worry. What I liked about Newton was that he could overlap and put in a cross, Osborne tends to come inside and overhit a pass.

Nine games unbeaten is hard to overlook, especially as it has been based on a solid defence, but I get the feeling that Newton may return soner rather than later.

Why would you drop Wood when he has been consistently one of the top 3 players week in, week out in the last 9 games? Poole on the right :nono:
 

Team v Macclesfield

Depends on (a) whether Elder has successful appeal (b) whether we get Bowditch back (c) Newton's fitness. If good news on all 3, I'd go for

Hamer
Newton Phillips Bennett Dickson
Bowditch Bean O'Connor Wood
Elder MacDonald

subs Brown, Halls, Williams, Hunt, Poole

Williams would come on if Elder or Bowditch out, Hunt as well if both out.
I imagine AS will pick Osborne instead of Newton

You forgot one. He can't pass a ball to save his life.lol

Since Osborne has been in the team we haven't lost. People may think he is sh*te, but look at the facts!, plus he has scored 2 goals.

IMO, Newton isn;t fit and is only on the bench as cover IF we have a problem, Halls isn't showing anything that he is better than Osborne.

Totally Agree,

Osborne needs to be droped, Halls and Newton in on the right, and Poole back on the left.

Errr I think you might find AS will drop Osborne (No U Smiffy) to accomodate Newton apart from that I reckon thats about right

The game conditions on saturday were against Osborne, no need to drop him after his performance, anyone who can read the game and knows about football would surely reckonise that there winger was dropping back to pick the ball up, there winger had space because they had extra man and we played 3 across the middle.

Same team as Saturday for me, Elder might be suspended obviously if appeal doesnt work.

Errr.......................no he won't :wave:

Newton isn;t fully fit IMO. If he was, then he'd have played some part in our recent matches, at no time has Newton even looked like stripping off ready to come.

Osborne will be RB at Macclesfield.

We shall see mate, we shall see, but as I see it,:idea: assuming Elder is suspended then Newton gives us more attacking options than Osborne and we need to go for 3 points rather than 1 but whatever AS does decide I for one trust his judgement:sorted:
 

Team v Macclesfield

Osborne is no doubt a better player than he was but frankly not good enough if we want to build a team that goes up and stays up. Our current weakness is at RB , striker alongside Charlie who can score a few more and the curious loss of form from Poole. I am sure too that neither Halls nor Newton are the answer either.

Funnily enough I am not in the camp of the Osborne haters, in fact I think he is a good young prospect. Nevertheless, I am sure you will agree that he does need to improve the distribution aspect of his game.

As for seeing him play I would say at a guess that I have the pleasure about eight times. Enough to known that he is good prospect, but needs to work on the distribution part of his game.:sorted:

And I have seen him play eight of nine games in a row in an unbeaten team which looks solid at the back and unlikely to lose games, during which he has excelled in the eyes of most unbiased judges and to suggest dropping him is harsh in the extreme.

He is by no means faultless but his distribution is nowhere near as bad as some make out.

I see you've backed down from "can't pass a ball to save his life" to "needs to work on his distribution" :shrug:

:confused: that won't ever happen.KO won;t be dropped IMO. The only option so far for something 'different' is Salford Bee's team with Poole just behind MacDonald. But that won;t happen either!
 

Team v Macclesfield

With Elder out, and the fact that I have fears over McDonalds confidence after his miss at Lincoln. I have decided to bring back Poole, to add more goals to the team. I am playing Williams up front as I have a horrible feeling we won't sign Bowditch or any one else. So with that in mind.

That miss was not a 'confidence' thing - it was a 'frozen-hard pitch and ball bouncing up' thing.

Anyway, your team is not bad; the only question is about Poole replacing Wood. I'd go for Wood away and Poole at home, personally.
 

Team v Macclesfield

Holysmit, I wouldn't worry too much about Charlie, he seems pretty confident generally and always picks himself up. Against Bournemouth after he hit the bar after the mazy run I thought his head might drop but it didn't seem to, I'm not sure he's that type of player/person. :)
