Well this looks yet another tough trip!

Who's in your XI??

Ive actually got no idea!

cashman · 18-08-2014, 17:55

Me i would revert Hunty back to full back, Buxton midfield n start Mingoia.

Alabi flatters to decieve and Gray has chocolate ankles and falls under a stiff breeze. I'd go with Hatfield up front. Nver let us down and scores whenever he gets a run in the side. Simpson and Mingoia are obvious starters but as Smudgie says they rest is a mystery!!!

6 league goals in 70-odd appearances would suggest otherwise! Having said that I would play Hatfield, think his work rate and endeavour seems to be undervalued by the manager. Mingioa got to start .
My team
Simpson
Hunt Aldred Winnard Mustoe
Hatfield Joyce (if fit) Buxton Mingioa Naismith
Gray

Cant see Joycy being fit and i have never seen Buxton play in midfield.
Like to see Lids given a chance to play himself into a bit of form.
Wouldn't be un-happy with that team tho Frank

Not may runs in the side though so appearance/goals ratios don't tell the story Remember 18 x 5 minute cameos equates to one full game. As well he has often been played, wrongly in my eyes, in midfield. Always looks dangerous when he plays and as you say his work rate means he contributes even when he doesn't bag...which I don't think the other striking options do.

Ok 5 league goals (thought it was 6) in 40-odd starts ignoring any sub appearances still suggests his goal return is not as good as any of the forwards. Anyway as I said I like Hatfield but he is not a forward. Incidentally you don't think Gray for one works hard and contributes when he's not scoring?? Do you sit behind an obstruction ?

Exile on Spencer St · 19-08-2014, 12:02

'Fishy' site implies Messrs Joyce and Buxton may not be fit, which reduces midfield options.
I agree with F19 and would like to see Mr. Liddle given a game, probably at left back. He appears to be a natural left-footed and is one of the few players who can tackle and, I would like to think, wouldn't do any worse than Saturday's efforts.
Being awarded a penalty is a pretty rare event for Stanley so I only hope they get another tonight and Mr Naismith buries the ball, and the keeper if necessary, in the back of the net.

cashman · 19-08-2014, 12:20

I'm hoping we can beat em tonight without a penalty, have no wish to see that again.

After his performance on Saturday, it would be very difficult to omit Atkinson. And I think Bowerman should be given a chance. He seems to me to be made of sterner stuff than Gray.

Can't argue wi that.

Maybe so. But the number of moves he breaks up by throwing himself to the floor outweighs this imo. Frustrating as he's a talented lad.

Hope springs eternal. Just backed us to win 3-0 at 50/1.

cashman · 19-08-2014, 13:41

Good man Alvin, I backed em but only fer the win.

RR difficult one that.
Who do you drop as three at the back requires experienced wing-backs,and we don't have any !!.
Even man utd struggled on Saturday with that system as they dont have that type of player.
Its a tricky one,but common sense tells me play a tried and tested defence and go from there,ie Hunty,Dean,Tom,Lids
