What changes will Jack make ? if any .
Personally I'd bring Rowley back in and bench Brown.I'd also be tempted to drop Nelson in favour of Maguire and bring Jud Smith in in at left back possibly at the expense of Barry with Talbot going to right back .I don't suppose Jack will be reading this though and if he did he would probably ignore me..... at his peril.

Peril?

No one picks Maguire. I don't get it. I still think for the first time we have the wherewithal to play a back three (including Maguire) and two proper wing backs. But I worry about any midfield combination available. And going forward?

On the other hand sometimes the opposition just loses. Newport don't have much to play for and are warning players about reduced contracts for those kept-on next season. If they haven't got Labadie then we need to cripple Nouble in the first ten .........

My line-up for tomorrow would be.

Ramsdale

Barry
Nelson
Whitmore
Talbot

Kellett
Hines
Weir
Reed

Dennis
O'Grady

Go 4-4-2, all out attack and just go for it.

[bluepooch]

Matt you think we can attack with OG in the side ? For me hes ok to bring on last 15 if its not working and we need to go long

Yeah I think we could. I think O'Grady is the type of player who can hold the ball and lay it off. I would also bring back German and stick him in the first team. It's time to go all out and just go for it, fight for every ball get stuck in etc.

Okay just for fun:-

Ramsdale

Nelson
Maguire
Whitmore

My wing backs:-
Talbot
Kellett

Midfield because they have revealed some willingness to score a goal:-
Rowley
Lou Reed
McCourt
but their lack of ability without the ball Jack is a real worry.

Up front I'd play Dodds in behind
Dennis
and I'd tell Dodds to roam, work as hard as he could, be difficult to mark and he'd be coming off after 65 minutes. And I'd replace him with Hines with the same instructions. Both of them would be expected to be trying to score and to set up Dennis as often as poss.

I'd tell the team if they didn't register 12 efforts on goal not to come back in the dressing room, I'd have burnt all their possessions!

Ideally Binnom-Williams would have been a wing back but I fear he may be dead. I'd have Willock and German on the subs bench - I can't see what they gain from watching Matlock's mudbath transforming itself into the Derwent every week. (But this week Matt could see the two of them shivering at Silverlands whilst Chesterfield look for a way to stop Frank Nouble.)

I'd also be ringing up Guthrie now Colchester have made him a free agent and offering a contract ..........

Both games are off. Buxton vs Matlock is tomorrow night now and they are asking for people to take forks to fork the pitch and if they do they will get in for free.

[Devongone]

Matt, don't take this the wrong way - get forked!

[spireitematt]
