Team for Yeovil

Would like to see the return of 352 / 3412 formation

                                McKeown

                Davis     Whitmore     Famewo

Woolford  Rose  Welsh  Embleton  Hessenthaler

                           Vernum     Cook

Think Hooper needs resting/dropping as been poor this season and Embletons creativity ahead of Cliftons guile to make us a more attacking force going forward. Vernum in as he deserves a place in the 11 though would have been Thomas if not suspended

Before Newport, I’d seen every game this season. For what it’s worth, I feel that Hooper has played well in the role for which he’s been selected. He shows excellent ball control, passes accurately and shows good awareness of those around him. He has also tracked back well to help out in defence. I really can’t understand all the criticism he’s received. He’s certainly not been our weakest player by any means.

Interesting that most selections contain Woolford and Welsh. I'm ready for the X's but I haven't been impressed with either of them. Woolford had a good game against Lincoln and took his goal well. John Welsh isn't the quickest, his distribution has been woeful and his last ditch sliding tackles are last ditch as he is too far forward and is being bypassed. Maybe he's trying to do too much, he should just sit in front of the back four, receive and give the ball and break up play. When he goes that ten / fifteen yards further, the opposition are gliding past him and it's leaving gaps.

Woolford in place of Vernam in a three? Not in a million years for me. Woolford has to cut inside and get the ball on his left foot, he doesn't have the pace and athleticism demanded of the role. Can't fault either of the lads efforts, I'd certainly keep the skipper in the side, he's clearly a natural leader but if he could restrain those forward runs I think he'd be more effective. I really do rate Charles Vernam, I think there is a real player there and I'd love to see him running at them from the right of the three tomorrow.

With you on the Welsh assessment. Let me take some red crosses also for suggesting Russell has some minutes if Macca looks rattled by gamesmanship/ high crosses or dodgy back passes. Vernam to start in any system you can think of.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Cook’s goal against MK come from Woolford’s right footed shot coming in from the right hand side?

I've really liked the look of Welsh in the games I've seen (only MK Dons and Lincoln admittedly) but he was a decent shout for MOM at MK Dons. I think by all accounts the two games in quick succession against good sides showed on Saturday and the week off will help. Woolford was excellent in both games, don't get that criticism at all.

The starting 11 cannot include JJ hooper tomorrow  , not slating him he just isnt good enough.

Only seen vernam once and that was at the Crawley away debacle last season and that was enough make me think he needs to start every game . Jolley looks to be building a young team with a few older heads in each department.

I’m not the only one then that thinks dropping Macca won’t make the team any worse, 3 mistakes already this season, needs to be pushed for the No:1 slot before he takes it for granted.

Macca may have made 3 mistake but he has made what is class as atleast 3 or 4 World class saves.
Regards Vernam, see him a few times last time he was here, I'm confused as to why he isn't played and would love to see him play from the off.

Quoted from CatchOfTheDay

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Cook’s goal against MK come from Woolford’s right footed shot coming in from the right hand side?

Only after he massively fluffed a similar, if not easier chance a few minutes earlier as he cut inside instead of hitting it with his right foot!

Drop Macca?? Have a day off!

Drop Macca?? Have a day off!

Should’ve done much better for that free kick last week. It wasn’t well struck or into the corner . You could see the wall looking at him thinking how did that go in . Goal at mK and the og v fgr were also partly his fault so it’s not just a 1 off . He does redeem himself with some brilliant saves which earn us points without doubt so it’s a difficult one .
We do now have a decent number 2 instead of a rookie kid to push him so perhaps it’s time to use Russell . It’s not as though he’s a Warrington who retired years ago .

A little bit shocked at the John Welsh comments. I appreciate it’s all about opinions but for me he’s the type of midfielder we’ve badly needed for years. He’s not going to be a box to box midfielder spraying 50 yard passes all over the place, but he sits deep, offers protection to the back four and intercepts countless balls into the opposing striker. I don’t agree that he only tackles due to being too far upfield, it’s called reading the game. A few of his challenges get the crowd going as well. A midfield of Welsh sitting behind Hessenthaler and Pringle is potentially the best engine room we’ve had for well over a decade.

Surely Pringle is a wide left midfielder isn't he, not a CM?

I'm not having a go at the lad. I want him to do well, but I don't think he's started particularly brilliantly. He has given the ball away and for me, he has looked off the pace a little bit. It's easy to overlook flaws when you have this midfield monster smashing into people, going in a hundred percent committed and I like that as well! But IMO he has looked a little bit leggy, his distribution hasn't been great. Maybe his age is catching him up, maybe he'll pick up. I hope it's the latter and he leads us to promotion.

Whatever lineup he uses today, we need a good performance and hopefully a win to keep the floating punters interested. A boring 0-0 or defeat will see a good few hundred knocked off the next home gate. Would like to see Vernam or the new midfielder start today, add a bit more pace, trouble is if we drop JJ, Macca needs a new game plan for goal kicks.
