No Logan ? Even on the bench ? I thought he was one of the better performers today. :shrug:

It seems Uwe is reluctant to play Forshaw in the middle but personally I do not feel he has any less 'bite' than the other CM options and it is his best position. Donaldson has proved to be most effective and gets most goals coming in from the right in a 433/4231 and think we should revert to this in what will be a tough away game. The intention wouldn't be to use BWP as a target but more to get balls into Hayes and Harry's feet and get them to create openings with balls into the box for BWP and Don.

Whilst this is what I have ended up with its a tough call for Uwe, I have changed the personnel and formation 4 times whilst writing this! Whatever he goes with we need to start getting the results!!

I'd go for the exact same line-up but Logan instead of Hodson...Dallas still will probably not start though, or even make the bench.
 

Team Vs Crawley

Did bwp do enough to warrant a start today ?
Listened to commentary and didn't seem quite there yet, maybe use him as sub ?

He faded but I was impressed with his touch and movement and he worked hard to get into the game. Whether he should start is another matter but I for one am tired of watching Trotta completely disappear after half time.

That but with Logan at right back.

BWP in my opinion was sharp and just what we have been missing. Went close a couple of times, got into good positions, nice flicks and touches, give him a few more matches and think we will see goals from him

Think that Jake needs a rest, plus Dallas might be that spark we need to get a run going.
 

Team Vs Crawley

Bidwell doesn't look the player of last season and needs a rest while Craig looked shaky in central defence. Harry must start and for a tough away game we can only afford one out and out striker. So I'd go:

Moore
Logan Moore Dean Craig
Douglas Diagouraga Forshaw
Donaldson Forrester
Wright-Phillips

subs: Lee, Adeyemi, Trotta, Hayes, Saunders, Bidwell, Barron

Some folks are suggesting Dallas; I would like to see Reeves get more of an opportunity. Neither are actually likely to start given as often as not they don't even make the bench. So this starting 11 for me:

Moore

Moore

Give Clayton a rest Harry ( if fit) to start Moore to sit in front of back 4 and Hayes to a) try and link with BWP and b) to piss off Ice who will be at the game

Williams: Brentford have weaknesses Crawley Town can exploit

Sunday, February 24, 2013K_SeckingtonFollow
ANTHONY WILLIAMS admits he is a bit of an expert on Brentford after seeing them so many times this season. However, with the Bees visiting the Broadfield on Tuesday night the Crawley Town assistant manager believes he may have found a way to take the sting out of play-off-chasers' tail.
"I've seen them about seven times this season already," Williams admitted. "They are consistent. They are very workman-like, very organised and they have good quality up top and a bit of experience in midfield. But they have got a couple of weaknesses we can exploit. "It is momentum and we have started the run going now. We have a lot of new faces in there and they are starting to gel together."
The Reds go into Tuesday night's match on the back of a 1-0 win at Leyton Orient and Williams believes Crawley recent performances against Orient and Doncaster Rovers show their adaptability.
"You have got to win football matches in different ways, I think every team has to do that," Williams said. "You can't always play one way. The ideal way we want to play is to pass the ball about and move the ball and beat teams by playing very good football – which we know we can do. But [against Leyton Orient], although we have tried to play at times we have had to grind things out. "The last five or six weeks is starting to get their reward now; the football they have played in training has been fantastic. The lads took on board the information we gave them and it's paid off"

Obviously didn't watch the Sheffield united or MK Dons game. But I'm not worried by them if their ass manager thinks we're workmanlike. Hardly an expert, did he watch the game when we last met
 

Team Vs Crawley

I would play
Lee (Time to give him a game - Moore has been a bit off lately)
Logan Dean Craig Bidwell
Diagouraga Douglas
Donaldson Forshaw Forrester
Wright-Philips (THough I doubt he is fit enough - Trotta if so)
 

Team Vs Crawley

Understand Harry has an injury which wasnt helped with a tackle on him yesterday. Give S Moore a game off - as well as Dean and Bidwell as been a bit shaky n below their usual standard. Our leading scorer is a STRIKER not a winger - our strongest midfielder alongside Douglas is Forshaw - it is so frustrating seeing both out of their natural best positions. Trotta n BWP were argumentative yesterday - think BWP should start with Donaldson

Hodson Moore Craig Logan
Dallas Forshaw Douglas Adeyemi

Womble it's an interesting line up but at one stroke you have changed all the back 4 and are starting with a winger that's hardly played, all for change but that might be just to much and could lead to total confusion at the back

Have no problem with dropping Jake and playing Shay on the left but if we do then continuity with Dean and Craig would be essential

Dallas is an interesting one and would like to see him having some involvement soon, possibly off the Bench
 

Team Vs Crawley

If Forrester is injured I would play Dallas but its Uwe that picks the team and he won't do that. More likely to pick Saunders who is no sort of attacking threat these days unless its a free kick. I'd like to see us work out a way to play Forshaw in a central role. Bidwell is out of sorts and has lost his confidence in the attacking part of the game and perhaps needs a break.

I think we need evolution rather than the revolution that is being proposed by many on here.

Do we really need to change a goalkeeper and defence that have generally performed well this season?

Yes, Moore and Bidwell might not be at the top of their game but should we replace them?

How also do we get Moore the games that Leicester will expect him to play when Dean and Craig have just kept comsecutive clean sheets in the League?

As for the midfield, if we play Forshaw and even Reeves in the middle will we win enough ball to allow them the space and room to play? Can we get by without either Adeyemi or Diagouraga to do some of the ferreting and ball winning alongside the indispensable Douglas?

Do we accommodate Forrester (assuming he is fit) and hope he provides cover for Bidwell as well as chances for the strikers?

Can we play BWP alongside Donaldson and Trotta without weakening the midfield and how do we keep Clayton in the middle?

I have not provided any answers because honestly I am not sure what our best team is any more and whether we should be playing the same team and formation at home and away or vary things.

I hink we are very close to getting it right but quite what is the best option is impossible to guess. We really seem to have an abundance of riches at the moment
 

Team Vs Crawley

For me id choose

S Moore
Hodson - Dean - Craig - Logan
Douglas - Diagouraga
Donaldson - Forrester - Forshaw
BWP

Subs
Lee - L Moore - Barron - Reeves - Saunders - Trotta - Bidwell

The creepies seem to get a long down the wings, so id push Harry into the middle and Adam out wide to help out Logan when needed. Trotta to come on for BWP by 70 mins as an impact sub

From other reports seems Forrester won't be fit so if that is the case then who plays on the left ? Barron ? More likely Saunders I would say

Apart from the lee/moore debate the rest of the line up should have started saturday, we look more of a unit with dave playing alongside douglas , for me this would be our strongest line-up and far more balanced.

I'd go with that, allowing for Harry to be swapped out with Saunders if unfit.

Moore gives support to the centre backs if they get stretched sideways covering for full back overlapping.
Douglas to just be himself in the middle withReeves & Forshaw slifding ball through the middle (something we haven't been doing for a while.
 

Team Vs Crawley

I haven't a clue, I wouldn't start with Trotta and I'd give Bidwell a rest but who goes where is hard. Too many good players who are out of form, Hodson has been tidy lately but couldn't even make the bench due to the amount of loans.


Moore
Hodson Dean Craig Logan but a righty at left back sounds stupid.
Adeyemi Douglas Dave
Forshaw
Clayton BWP

Not a clue.

Know what you mean about the starting line up said before Saturday game having so many options comes with problems.Trotta has been our best chance of goals recently and l think he is very much of what we have in BWP according to Charlton fans,but then again they rated Hayes.Trotta has a great touch and most of his efforts are on target but are saved or blocked he's only 20 remember.BWP done nothing at GP last season except score the winning goal later in the game.Like to think a 433 with Donaldson Trotta BWP front line with an in form Harry Forshaw and Douglas providing the service.Uwe will have some big decisions to make over the coming weeks.
