I wouldn't have Bignot anywhere near my team unless he was making the half time drinks. Paul Walker, give him a chance as he's never let us down on the rare occasions he's been called upon. Sometimes the easy choice is to go with 'experience' but Bignot has consistently looked the weakest link when he's played IMO. Parsow at left back as he's a decent size over Winfarrah as Sou If Parslow isn't too comfortable on the lthport will sling it forward.eft I'd have no problems throwing young Caine and Paul Walker in.


Walkers not a left back is he? last time Paddy played in that position he did OK

I think Southport will use McDonald to try to bully LJL/Oates. Therefore we should use the 4-3-1-2 system to stretch them and create gaps. If we did that I could see us beating them easily!

Most teams include a big back 4 because most teams throw the ball up there and fight for it. That's what these defenders are used to and what they expect.

Maybe there is a case for keeping an unchanged team and playing the ball on the floor using pace and skill. If it doesn't work the manager can always send to the shop for reinforcements.

We've got someone who can slot into the left back position - keeping Toto in the centre and Parslow at right back. Just play Winfarrah.

Winfarrah has a few games under his belt - it's not as if he's untried. He played most of the match against Nuneaton at home after Thomas got injured and did well if I remember.

If he can hold his own against Nuneaton and offer us natural width going forward, I'd suspect he'll be ok against Southport. It'll still be tough, but it's not like we're playing Barnet, Halifax or Gateshead where he may be exposed.

He's got a professional contract with us, Hurst clearly sees him more as a left back, with the ability to play left midfield... so let's just go with him, rather than moving Parslow across, taking Toto away from Brodie and bringing in Doig etc.

There comes a point when you have to put your trust in youngsters. If you never do, they never play and the club never makes any money. This'll be a good test for him.

Fully agree.

Winfarrah has played less than 2 hours of Conference football for us, and most of this in spells of ten minutes or less so it would be a bit of a gamble putting him in the team. Don't forget that Nuneaton were set up to sit back and defend in depth so he wasn't tested too much but did miss a tackle (though he had only just got onto the pitch) which presented them with their best chance of the game.

From what I saw in the Nuneaton game, he'd be better suited to play as a midfielder. Not sure how Southport play, but if they've got a strong and quick winger, it might be too much for Winfarrah to deal with. Don't forget that he's not played any competitive football for over a month, either.

Regardless, I think Hurst is more likely to be cautious as it is in his nature and play an experienced defender.

I rather hope that Magnay will be fit enough to start and we won't need to make any changes to the defence!

I wonder if hurst would play the youngsters more if he wasn't constantly criticised? When you are under fire all the time people tend to opt for the safer options rather than taking a more risky approach of playing untried youngsters in newish positions?
