Really think we can hurt teams with pace on the wings, if Hurst wants to switch play more often he will need 2 wingers who will isolate the full back and run at them one on one.

Hopeful that we can do it, it's only highlights but Cambridge missed a hat full of chances against them yesterday.

I think Hurst will want to make some changes simply because of the intensity of matches.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Vose and Bogle start up front and Chambers come in for Tombo plus Pearson for Boyce or Gowling

I was impressed by Chambers when he did come on, maybe it was just me, and I think Bolarinwa is a a bit too raw for a match against a team that was League 1 last year?

Either way I'm sure there will be changes just to manage the number of matches people have to play

When fit give mills a go at right back put Davies in defensive midfield with summerfield  then have vose
For creativity and getting us playing along side tommo and Jackson with bogle up front

I agree with the above. Davies is quality on the ball and can display some fine passing. I'd like to see him sitting deep and dictating play.
Bogle to start for me and maybe stick Pearson in ahead of Boyce - he's not aggressive enough for me!

Why are people back to this old rubbish of taking defenders and chucking them in midfield. If you want to do that, try it out on football manager or something. He's a right back and I'd really like to see him play right back.

Agree with this for sometime in the future. For Tuesday though i'd like Browne, Pearson, Chambers and Bogle to be given starts, with Berrett playing in a more central role...dropping Boyce, Vernon, Tombola  and Summerfield.Mix it up abit and utilise the whole squad.

Pontoonlew, Davies used to play in centre mid, it is only recently he's been a right back

I think yesterday we really missed players doubling up on the flanks.

At present were trying to steam roll teams and from what I saw yesterday the minute we can't use our pace we have no guile Mcallister can rat around but to put his foot on the ball and play he's found wanting if this team is to work we need more creativity rather than brute

Bogle.  Jackson

This system helps Vose who will create chances because he's not afraid of having the ball  and Davies and Andrews can overlap with macca and berrett covering when going forward

The back 4 doesn't need messing around with. Keep it settled. They are all very able players and in time will become a very solid and tight unit. I agree that guile is a problem but the problem is players with guile are usually not especially keen on teamwork (Neilson, Jai Reason, Marsh Brown, Deverdics) and Hurst never likes lazy players, I don't know is Vose fits into that category.

Then hurst will have to wake up most teams have  2 or 3 game changers at present the team we put out against Wycombe and morcombe was a  journey men team Mcallister 28 berrett 27 summerfield 25  vernon 31 tommo 26 and it shows there quality in the way we played we got into a physical battle when yesterday all we needed was to put some passes together

I think you're confused. Normally the number you quote when claiming someone is a journeyman is the number of clubs they've had, not their age.

You're right I meant the level theyve played at from what I've seen they won't take control of a game

4-4-2 for me.

Bolarinwa on his favourite side, Browne is 2 footed according to himself so I'm sure he'll be capable in Right wing with Bolarinwa on the left, also Berrett in centre mid because he's wasted out wide. Also Colchester have 2 tricky wingers who like getting 1v1 with the full backs, so we will need 2 proper wingers to double up.

I'd like too see an out  an out winger rather than Berrett - don't get me wrong he's done OK but he likes too drift inside a little too much IMO (similarly too McLaughlin a few years back).  Lets go out and scare teams

Would like to see the same team with one change Diz in for summerfield UTM
