Team vs. Oldham

I'd go for:

----------------Masters----------------
O'Connor--Osborne--Heywood--Frampton
----------------Griffiths----------------
-----Carder-Andrews--Skulason---------
-Tomlin------------------------Kuffour-
----------------Willock-----------------

Subs: Nelson/Brown, Pinault, Brooker, Moore, Tillen.

Heywood and Osborne is our best defensive partnership, yet Griffiths has been our best performer this season. I can't see any other way of getting him in the team, as he deserves. He may improve in this position, with practice.

This team is a bit harsh on Adam Griffiths, poor bloke!

Blimey you were quick, I had just clicked submit reply and posted it when I had missed Griffiths, so edited it straightaway...speedy gonzales or what!! :D

Kuffour's wasted on the left. Leroy's proved that about three times now.

I'd try Pinault out wide on the right, with Tomlin on the left.

If Griffiths plays as poorly in midfield as he did on saturday, change it at half time and bring Kev into midfield, dropping Karleigh in at RB and Griffiths back at CB. Alternatively, you could substitute Griffiths for Brooker and push Pinault into the centre.

Willock deserves to start, but seeing as Chester City are interested, I'd rather he doesn't risk getting crocked so we can say :wave: to Calum and get him off the wage bill.

If Nelson was being a tart and faking the injury he can properly feck off to whatever godforsaken club he likes. Brown can take his place on the bench.

Masters
O'Connor-Osbourne-Heywood-Frampton
Pinault-Griffiths-Skulason-Tomlin
Wijnhard-Kuffour

I know it seems that the "done thing" is to have a big man upfront as a hold up player ( ie Lloydy, Willock etc ) however I feel it brings an imbalance upfront, so I feel that the "big man" (:eek: ) should play just behind a nippy front two :sorted:

bizarre, you seem to have the left footed Pinault on the right, and the right footed Tomlin on the left :confused:

Masters (assuming Nelson injured)

KOC Osbourne Heywood Framps

Griffiths

Brooker Skulason Pinault

Willock Kuffour

Yeah but swap Tomlin with Brooker.

------------------Nelson------------------

O'Connor - Heywood - Griffiths - Frampton

Brooker -- Pinault -- Skulason -- Tillen

----------- Kuffour - Willock

Simple and strong :wave: None of this Masters bullshit, we need to be playing our strongest team at the moment.
 

Team vs. Oldham

Big Clyde should figure at some point.
What always happens to our ex-strikers when they return to GP?
Be nice for someone else to cop it.
 

Team vs. Oldham

I think due to the run we have had and all things being considered from Saturdays result that in the next two AWAY league games we will go with

..........................Masters
......KOC, Heywood, Osborne, Framps
Tomlin, Olli, Mousinho, Griffiths, Kuffour
..................Willock.........................

training tomorrow so this is an educated guess not me revealing secrets from the training ground.

possible Masters for Nelson, but otherwise that's the one - our strongest 11 IMHO :sorted:

Perhaps those are our best 11 players on paper but at the moment Brooker, Tillen and Pinault should be no-where near a team scrapping to pick up points.

The midfield you suggest was a complete disgrace at Rotherham, did not compete and showed no fight to get back in the game. I'm not excluding Skulason but he seems to have more heart for a fight on the pitch than the others when things are going against them.
 

Team vs. Oldham

I'd be very surprised if we did too much different from last week.

Masters

O'Connor
Heywood
Osborne
Frampton

Tomlin
Griffiths
Skulason
Brooker (I'll think we'll make a chnage here as throwing KCA into a tough away game might not be the best option)

Kuffour
Willock/Wijnhard (a toss up IMHO, one good game does not make Willock a great player but he is probably our hardest working forward)

Subs:
Willock/Wijnhard
Pinault
Mousinho
Moore
Brown

you forgot to mention ....which was why they were dropped against Gillingham.

No quick return for any of those three to the starting line up IMHO.
also we need to frustrate teams away from home and break away quickly (Kuffour, Tomlin and Griffiths) with guile and tenacity (Olli) whilst not leaving ourselves exposed at the back (Mousinho)

You team line-up suggests a change in formation, and TBH I can't see that.

Kuffour on the left would leave Frampton a little exposed and I think we'll stick with what we know.
 

Team vs. Oldham

Masters
Osbourne right back
Frampton left back
Heywood and Griffiths Centre Backs
O'connor and Oli in the middle
Brooker wide right, Tillen wide left
Kuffour and Clyde/Willock up front.

Roughly the team that turned the game against Bradford the last time we won in the league.

I was not at that game... but then this plays into my hands indirectly... that now they might have something to fight for when they play? Seeing as we were simply on the end of sheer incompetence on Saturday out of our control, playing with the younger, more hungry players?

Or maybe I am being ignorant :confused:

They had plenty to fight for at Rotherham and didn't do it.

They were all left out against Gillingham and our fight as a team was greatly increased.

Why go back :scratch:

Masters

Kev
Karleigh
Heywood
Framps

Mousinho
Griffiths
Oli
Pinault/Tomlin

Willock
Jo K

Irrespective of his new cult status, I would include Mousinho in a game where we need to battle and with Oli, Griffiths and Mousinho in the middle, while I accept we lack flair I think we've got strength.

I think Thomas is an excellent player but a little bit of a luxury that we can't afford in our current league position. He gives us better options for passing and creating things but Tomlin gives us genuine pace.
If the other 3 in midfield do their job, Oli should give us the vision and passing which will free Gavin up to run at and go past defenders giving us an extra forward.

If the other 3 work well and Gavin doesn't we have Brooker as an option who we know can cross a good ball but doesn't really fancy the battle.
