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 ..........

AND NOW IT IS OFF.

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.
