Team for Wembley

Any thoughts on who we should actually pick to play Sunday ?! Very difficult I would say when we are playing so bad...
My Team
Mc
Hatton
Miller
Pearson
Thomas
Marshall
Disley
Niven (if fit) Andy Thanoj if not...
Devitt
Cook
Brodie

Pugh,
Pugh
Barney McGrew
Cuthbert
Dibble
Grubb
Plus anyone who can cross a ball .

I would certainly like to see Cook and Brodie start up front

I'm not sure I'd start Devitt. He just isnt doing what he is capable of when on the ball and therefore his lack of contribution to the other areas of the game mean he is a passenger.

I said in the 'just back' thread that i felt sorry for Ross Hannah last night. If we are going to play balls 3 feet over his head then he is no use, but if we can find someone who can actually pick out his intelligent runs and movement by playing to him along the ground then I'd start him.

Last night wouldnt have given anyone hope for the rest of the season

Marshall
Disley

Devitt
Cook
Brodie                                          I would prefer Hannah to start, other than that I agree

I agree with big chris about Hannah I think that since Neilson left no one can find a pass suitable for Ross to get on the end of !

McKeown

Hatton
Miller
Pearson
Thomas

Devitt - right side
Marshall - Left side
Disley
Naylor - Niven if fit

Cook
Hannah

Subs
Wood
Colbeck
Hearn
Brodie
Naylor or Niven if not Artus

Naylor not eligable to play !

I think Frankie Artus might play alongside Disley with Thanoj on the bench. Defence picks itself if Pearson is fit, if not we are up sh1t creek. Doesn't seem to make much difference who plays wide but my guess is it will be Devitt and Marshall to start with. Up front I expect Cook and Hannah to start.

My team

Mc
Hatton
Thomas
Pearson
Miller
The shop on the wing
Marshall
Niven
Disley
Hannah
Cook

Considering how sh!t we are on the wings think we should go three in middle and three up front. Team as follows:

                                  Macca

Hatton              Miller               Pearson           Thomas

         Disley              Niven                Marshall

         Brodie             Hannah             Cook              

Subs - Hearn/Wood/Thanoj/Devitt/Colbeck

I agree about switching to 4-3-3...but I doubt it will happen as I think I said in another thread, not many managers would play one formation than switch it to a new one in the cup final.  Personally, I'd take the chance because of the back of the past couples of games (even before our first loss of the four to Kiddie), we looked weak on the wings, people have figured us out and Marshall who was extremely effective in his first couple of games is now easily dealt with by the opposition and I don't think Colbeck and Devitt have been good enough for a while now.

I might consider playing Hearn just because he offered more in 30 minutes against Cambridge then Brodie and Cook did all game.  Who I'd drop him for would be a toss up between Brodie and Cook but not sure which one, Brodie can often disturbe defences and Cook is our top goalscorer so (although looking off his best lately).

Only other thing I would look at in that is Marshall, could be a good ploy given a free role across the middle.  If not him, than Thanoj imo

If everybody is fit then for me it picks itself:

McKeown
Hatton
Miller
Pearson
Thomas
Marshall
Niven
Disley
Devitt
Hannah
Cook

Big pitch and they're a team of advancing years so I'd play Marshall and Devitt, get it wide and try and stretch them. Niven being back would be a massive plus.

Knowing S&H;

Greg Flemming
Bradley Wood -Left back
Simon Ford recalled
Ian Miller
Aswad Thomas - Right back

Joe 'Beckham' Colbeck - Left midfield
Andi Thanoj
Frankie Artus
Derek Niven - Right Midfield

Lenell John Lewis
Dayle Southwell

Rotation is key.

Would could they do any worse?

It depends what our tactics are to determine my team

Just imagine you are Itchy or Scratchy (or both) - you don't have any tactics or if you do you keeping changing them all the time, take a pin, shut your eyes and get picking!

Hannah must play , he is the only natural goalscorer,

The other players have got to learn not to kick the ball over his head,

Christ !!!   its not that hard to keep the ball on the ground.

McKeown

Hatton

Marshall

Niven - hopefully
Devitt

Agree with this - and the most likely player to give him the passes he needs is IMO Andy Thanoj.
This means praying for Niven's return. (Disley is probably knackered from playing 90 minutes when half-fit on Tuesday, and I don't see Artus as a defensive midfielder - though he would be fresher than most. Wilson? ? ?)

Can you see any merit in Town going either 4-3-3 and trying to actually win games by creating chances or more likely 4-5-1 and shutting up shop playing for a set piece winner for next few games BC?

For me the team should be:
MC
Hatton
Miller
Pearson
Thomas
Marshall
Disley
Niven (if fit)
Devitt
Cook
Hannah

Wilson not signed in time, the same as Naylor,

SO

I go for,                                           Macca

                                       Hatton  Miller   Pearson   Thomas

                                        Marshall Disley  Niven  Devitt

                                              Cook    Hannah      

If Niven not fit  Thanoj.
