I'd much rather see Mangan on the left - remember his great run and cross for Jagielka to smash in against Grays last year?
Move Rocky back and switch Edwards to full back instead of Ventre whose distribution is not good enough.

Mangan was completely ineffective, why would playing him out of his natural position make him any better? Rocky was brilliant in midfield yesterday, I thought he deserved man of the match as he bossed the whole midfield in parts yesterday. Jacobson gets stuck in and links up well with other players - he looks promising. Though I think he took a knock towards the end of the game which I hope isn't too serious. Ventre was strong as ever, there was a few wayward passes but it will be corrected with more experience.
After all the changes & confusion, I honestly believe that the tactics used & the performance displayed yesterday was the best since the start of the season; the lads seem to be confident and the team spirit is evidently back.
Bring on McDons.
