Team vs. Oldham

Right let's look forward as opposed to back. I'd like to see:

Moore
Logan, Dean, Craig, Bidwell
Kev
Forshaw, Douglas
Forrester
Donaldson, Farid

Subs: Lee, Legge, Barron, Reeves, Adeyemi, Saunders, Hayes

How's Adeyemi doing? Will he play on Saturday?
 

Team vs. Oldham

Don't think he will drop Douglas despite recent performances, can't pass judgment on last night as not there however he does seem to get through a lot of unglamorous work which goes unnoticed

Think we need Kev playing in front of the back 4 as he reads the game well and gives cover if the fullbacks have been caught upfield

Moore
Logan Dene Craig Bidwell
O' Connor
Akinde

Moore
Logan Dene Craig Budwell
Kev
Alkinde Douglas ( prefer Forshaw)
forrester
Douglas Farid
 

Team vs. Oldham

I hope we don't get John Akinde back and I hope not to play in midfield, I reckon that would be a knee jerk.....

Should've been this side since the Crewe game. Too much tinkering at present. Get a settled side & keep it.
 

Team vs. Oldham

It will obviously be

Moore
Logan Dean Craig Bidwell
Forshaw Douglas Adeyemi Forrester
Farid Donaldson

whereas it should be

Moore
Logan Legge Dean Bidwell
Adeyemi Forshaw Douglas Forrester
Farid Donaldson or Hayes.

The bottom of the diamond between Douglas and Kev is the toughest one of the lot, there are pros and cons in arguing for either to start, but I think keeping the status quo in key positions and not tinkering with the team too much means Dougie edges it for me.

From the little I've seen of him play, I think Adeyemi is an intelligent footballer, and could be a great asset for exploiting his former teamates' weaknesses on saturday.

Saturday will be a great test for Harlee to see what level he is really at when he comes up against Matt Derbyshire, who IMO is far too good a striker and talented a footballer to be playing at league one at this point in his career. If Derbyshire and Baxter both start up front I fear Craig may struggle with their movement.
 

Team vs. Oldham

Leon Legge is a better centre back than Craig, but no matter how poor the latter plays, he's untouchable. Douglas needs a rest, but he's untouchable too.
 

Team vs. Oldham

Douglas & Craig would not be in any team of mine at the moment.

Bit worried about your top two, good signings for League One.

Would like to see this team. Dave KOc and Dougie all do the same job IMHO. One of them sitting is fine, we don't need more than one of those three in the team (KOC would get my vote), especially at home

I think there are 11 very good players there.

Getting them to play as an enthused and motivated unit for more than half a game seems to be a problem.

But we have the sixth best goals conceded record in the division. Furman was man of the match for South Africa in midweek. Wesolowski is a real gritty midfielder. Montano has improved with every game. Croft, despite carrying too much weight, has shown some class. Baxter has a real footballers brain on the pitch (and off it too, costing himself an Everton career) and Derbyshire has scored in consecutive games and looks very sharp compared to what he's replaced.

Simpson may or may not play. He's had a poor season so far but Dickov could well back him.

Same here, but it's not gonna happen is it? Douglas could sit down in the centre circle for the entire game and still be selected next week. The only time I have seen the diamond really work this season was v Crewe when Kev sat at the back - he is the only one with the discipline to do the job properly. As it doesn't look like we're going to see Reeves again any time soon, then Forshaw and Adeyemi look the best of the many other centre mid options and Harry is currently a better bet than Sam for the front. Also, that midfield could revert to a 4-4-2 easily if needed, with Kev and Forshaw in the centre and the other two wide.

Having said all that, we'll probably stick to the side that started at Bournemouth and win 3-0 of course!
 

Team vs. Oldham

Sam Saunders seems to slipping down the pecking order now.
 

Team vs. Oldham

Legge must have gone backwards a long way in the second half of last season if he is not a better option than Craig. Douglas played pretty well second half yesterday whatever some have said, so he should stay. I would thus start with the 11 that were on after Dave's departure with the exception of Craig ie

Moore
Logan Dean Legge Bidwell
Forshaw Douglas Adeyemi Forrester
Farid Donaldson

... and no f***ing diamonds thanks!!!

Think that will be close to the team but UR will play a diamond formation with Harry in a free role behind the front two , with Bidwell and Logan acting as wing backs and enjoying space down the wings.
 

Team vs. Oldham

Apparently the team will be running out to a famous Shirley Bassey 007 theme song...

Nice tall back 4 to deal with oldhams long balls,lots of creativity in midfield and fiery forwards.
 

Team vs. Oldham

If it's not working after an hour, I'd actually like to see Hayes come on to play with Farid instead of Donaldson.
 

Team vs. Oldham

It depends... if we are overloading the opponent's box, then Farid and Hayes may well be the answer as they're probably better at snatching a goal in a melee. If there's space and we're trying to get in behind them, then we'll need the pace of Clayton. Whatever, we need the midfielders to get stuck in with some goals. With Donaldson seemingly an 'outside the box' player, all three is an option.

Agreed. The three together would actually be a much better option IMO but in a 4-4-2 rather than the diamond. Our current system relies on at least one pacy frontman so a combination of Hayes and Farid would simply not be mobile enough - as we saw for a period in one of the previous home games.

However, Hayes and Farid up top with a standard four across the middle with Donaldson and Forrester wide would be much more effective as an alternative option IMO.
