Team vs Walsall

Assuming Bidwell is injured, I will go for:

Button
Venta Dean Craig Logan
Fillo McCormack Forshaw McAleny
Grigg Donaldson

Subs: Bonham, O'Connor, Barron, Diagouraga, Saville, Saunders, El-Alagui

We had too many bodies in the middle of the park against Gillingham and gave them too much space out wide. I think Venta needs a fast natural winger who can track back to protect him, and Fillo is that player, whilst Venta's accurate delivery alongside Fillo's overlapping runs could be a menacing offensive option. For this reason, a centre mid has to be sacrificed IMHO and McCormack and Forshaw are essential to the team at the moment, so by process of elimination I would take out Saville. Apart from that the rest of the team picks itself. If Farid was fully fit and the game wasn't against Walsall I'd be tempted to start him ahead of Grigg. However, neither are true so Grigg gets the nod for me.

Stop with all the square pegs in round holes!! If Bidwell is injured, replace him with a left back.

Team vs Walsall

Cakebread, Coote, Gitsan, Gelson, Dargie, Higginson, Summers, Brookes, Francis, Dick, McCleod. No subs permitted.
 

Team vs Walsall

Forshaw has never started a game in the middle in a 4-4-2 before. Would be risky and might not be best for the team or get the best out of him against an opposition in good form. I agree that Fillo is due a start though.

Logan is as good at left back as any left back we have at the club! :confused:

What's the confusion? Logan is a right back and we have a left back in Barron.

Nope. Logan is a right back and Barron is a left winger. Both can also play left back but Logan is better at it.

Not without Saville

Just as happy if Saville plays, just saying i like the look of that midfield. He wont play 442 anyway, the team will be

Button
Venta Dean Craig Logan
Forshaw Mac Saville
Donaldson Grigg* Mcaleny

* unless they had an agreement

Doubt it, seeing as they didn't agree to him joining us or a fee. Good news if he's as bad as last week they might reduce their valuation.

That was tongue in cheek mate.

He wont be allowed to play 4442 unfair to opposition I would have thought

Would have Barron at left back if fit,don't like right footed players playing on the left especially an important position as LB.But I think you are right with the expected line up.

....be interesting to see warsaw reaction to grigg if he plays.....but much more interested in our reaction if he scores.
 

Team vs Walsall

Bearing in mind the defence will have to be re-shuffled cant see Rosler changing the centre backs as well, most logical would be Baron for Jake however Shay and Ventna as full backs would be fine

Button
Ventna Dean Craig Logan
Saville Forshaw Macca Connor
Clayton Grigg

Given up trying to pick a team, whatever people want or suggests makes no difference at all, I'm therefore very happy to leave all team selections in the safe and knowledgeable hands of our expert management team.

Assuming bidwells Injured would rather have craig as LB and give Nugent his League Debut, Would start El Alagui over Grigg But it's Walsall so would start him and show them what they're missing.

COYB!!! :D

Assuming Bidwell isn't fit, but Barron is
Button

(if Barron not fit, Venta RB, Logan LB, Saunders on bench)
Reeves and Dallas unlucky not to appear, but only 18 places

Would put kev at CB because he looks so much more calm than nugent and venta looks to slow to cope with their players and I want forshaw in the centre so I put Saville Left midfield.
 

Team vs Walsall

I would do this..

Button

Logan Dean Craig Barron

Alan Mc
Forshaw Saville

Fillo Donaldson Mcleny

Dont mind Barron so would put him in.

What comments are these NLB ? on the official site ?

Beesplayer interview. Uwe confirmed that Reeves would be in the matchday squad after phenomenal stats in training and the development game this week. he said he proved a point that he shouldn't have been left out of the squad for the Gills game.

You can't help but admire his honesty
