Bouzanis
Joyce Edwards Kempson Winnard
Turner Ryan Procter Grant
Symes Kee

Theoretically we'd get much better wing play with Joyce/Turner and Winnard/Grant. You've got Turner who is electric going forward but he'll also chase the opposition down like a bull terrier when the they're in posession. You know Joyce is solid defensively and will be the one in the back line to pick a pass carefully whereas Lees, Kempson, Winnard and even Edwards look for the punt. Having Grant in front of Winnard makes us more balanced both defensively and in attack as he's the same as Turner; hungry to win the ball back when the opposition have it. Grant will track back well whereas Miles won't, we'll need a player like that on the wing up against that Sinclair lad who is on fire at the minute. On top of all that, Bobby's wicked left foot is only used in dead ball situations lately because he's being muscled out up front, which is such a waste.
With regards to the 'keeper situation, it's clear that Bavs gives no confidence to the back four whatsoever but there must be some issue with Bouzanis. Whether he's got the Alan Martin syndrome of thinking he's better than he is I don't know but the stats are clear; we win more games when Dunbavin is on the bench.
Thinking again about the centre halves, I wouldn't take out either Kempson or Edwards on Tuesday. Macclesfield are a weaker opposition to face and keeping a clean sheet against them may help to rebuild confidence for future games. If Coley can make the lads relocate their testes then there's no need to go making massive changes. We just need to use what we've got because there's a lot going to waste at the minute.
