Yep it`s that time not sure where we stand on recalling loanees but to me whoever the GTFC Manager interim or otherwise he should have the full available squad to pick from.As others have said on previous posts this situation where the same players get picked in midfield no matter what due to lack of bodies is the first thing that needs sorting out.I would play a team something like this at present if everyone fit Macca Mills Collins Suliman Davies Summerfield Clements Clifton Dembele Winks Matt

Clements can't be recalled as it's a half season loan.

I wasn`t sure how we sat with that to be honest but seems about right?

We're massively in the excrement, I don't think it matters too much what team you select from the dregs of this squad. I do want to see Harry Clifton start games over the ineffective James Berrett. But I don't see a lot of ability in there, no leaders is a huge problem as well. My team, a 4-4-2 for what it's worth: McKeown Mills Dixon (I don't want to pick him, but without Davies I have no choice) Collins (c) Osbourne DJ Clifton Summerfield Dembele Wilks (If Jackson is injured) He's a Striker, not a winger. IF we wanted a winger we should have signed a flipping winger. Vernon From the outside looking in, the only leadership I see is through the spine (if we have one), which is where you'd want it. McKeown, Collins and Summerfield lead as far as I can see. Could do with a stronger presence up front to hold the ball up. That's why I've selected Vernon, he isn't that good at holding the ball up, but he's all we've got. He'd get pelters all game, I've only selected the one loan player, as there is a chance these lot may even know each others names.

I think we have really missed Collins, Davies , Dembele, Rose and Mckeown over recent weeks and hope (maybe foolishly) that having three or four of these back might just help us scrape the odd win. I know we were never great even at the start of the season but we were able to win the odd game and the team hasn't really changed that much other than these injuries and losing Jones. I think/ hope getting a new manager with these players back we can do enough to survive.

And Clifton not allowed to play for the first 80 minutes and can only come on if we are getting hammered

I would rather play Berrett or Woolford at LB than Dixon.As for Vernon if Hooper and Matt can`t get ahead of him it shows how bad things are and sadly I can`t even argue you are wrong to select him up there.I have no idea what we have youth wise but Wilko/Woods having been involved in management and coaching for years should and FFS sit them down and tell them LB and CM is up for grabs DO YOU WANT IT LADS?

Given we are in such a dire situation I think we should forget about wins and go back to the basics of trying to keep clean sheets - as much as I dislike him this is what Allardyce does at every club he joins who are in trouble and I'm pretty sure its what any new manager would concentrate on first. If we can get a bit of confidence from a few clean sheets then we may be able to move on to thinking about attacking/scoring again in a few weeks time.

I've seen Clifton play a couple of times and he looked decent. I'd like to see local lads involved but i am not sure he is the great hope everyone is making him out to be.
Do you think successive managers would overlook him when we are so shite if he was the player people are expecting him to be?
I hope he makes a player, but at the minute he can't make the bench. I'd be having Rose back in the middle, he's competitive and decent in both boxes.

Rose has to come back in. He's got a goal in him and was part of the Newport team that got out of a far worse situation than we are in. Collins definitely has to return. Hopefully Davies is ready to go back in at left back. Dembele, but only if he is fit and ready, don't rush him back. Wilks actually looked decent out on the left wing, but we then typically drop him from the squad entirely. Vernon is a decent shout for me, for his experience and he will look after the ball far better than Matt, who is struggling to make an impact. Maybe it's time to see what Cardwell has to offer. He's a big lad, and looks quite quick too. Is McAllister able to play a part? Is Clifton ready?
This is the problem isn't it? Too many so so players to make definitive choices. The side should be settled and picking itself by this stage of the season.
Remove Berrett, Osbourne, Matt and Dixon from the team, and possibly the squad.
