No, no, no. Burgess wide left is a waste. He must play centre with Pettefer. One worker and one creator."Mooro" wrote:OK, so we’ve got this game we didn’t really want, so we either sulk about it or try to work something positive from it.
To my mind, we should therefore use it to a) give 442 another go to hopefully get a bit more used to it and/or try players in slightly different positions b) use it to give a few fringe players a chance while resting some of the seniors, but only a few (rather than the whole lot) so that they learn from playing alongside the seniors rather than just being a pseudo reserve game).
To that end I would suggest a line-up of:
GK – Turley (no choice as need to not cuptie Tardif is we want to maximise the chances of freeing up some cash under the wage ceiling for new signings)
RB – Quinn
LB – Johnson (see how he fares in a 4)
CB – Dempster
CB – Gunn (try the lad out & rest Gilly)
CM – Pettifer
CM – Hargreaves or Hutch
RM – Kennett (debut & rest Anaclet)
LM – Burgess (should be able to cause problems from out there)
FW – Basham (experience to unlock Lewes)
FW – Duffy
SUBS
Yemi – late pace vrs tired defence
Hargreaves or Hutch
Franklin – defence cover
Tucker – goalkeeper cover
Younie – run out on right wing if game safe
By the way, Beechers is back out on loan and Ben Weedon is still injured should anyone be about to suggest these two as alternatives.
Brev left back, Johnson left wing.
Gilly and Dempster (whilst Willmott is out) in the middle.
Gentle jogger Eddie in front of Quinn on the right.
Duffer and Yemi up front.
