So a new era starts. With Slade gone a chance to change the team/formation. A fresh start for some maybe.

There's a full round of matches in midweek (with the exception of the Mariners of course) so we could well find ourselves nearer the drop zone. Really need to get something out of the game and at least give a better performance to give a bit of belief going forward. Cambridge one place above us so whilst I am not saying we will go there and brush them aside...it is a game that is winnable.

I assume Collins is still out and I am unsure if Dembele is likely to be back. So what team should Wilko select?

For me put the young lad from Villa in. Our defence is old and slow and it has started to show. Clarke stays in by default though I am not a big fan. I had been calling all season for Osbourne to be given a chance but to say he has not really shone in his recent outings is a understatement. Drop Dixon...another huge disappointment. The only LB on the books but I'd rather play someone out of position instead.

Looking at the squad the lack of quality/depth in midfield is quit glaring. No really that many options tbh.

Woolford, Hooper, Vernon are others who have had plenty of opportunities and have done little. Could Wilko or a new manager get more out of them though?

my team assuming they are fit .  4-4-2.

GK Killip
RB Mills
LB Davies

RM Dembele or DJ
CM Summerfield
CM Berrett

The timing is pretty good.

No midweek game, so a few days to sort out tactics and selection.

It's an away game, so less pressure than if it was a BP.

It's against a team on a run of form almost as bad as ours.

In many ways it's the ideal fixture for Wilko to show what he is made of. Let's see if he makes the right selections, and can motivate the players to up their game.

Too many loanees with some of that selection


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

Disagree about Vernon. He gets a hell of a lot of stick but his work rate alone means he should not be categorised with hooper and woolford

No idea if RHJ can play at left back but he can't be worse than our actual left back. Suliman for Osborne too (with Clarke, Mills and Killip). The Summerfield Berrett combination must be broken up as it's proven to be shite - Clifton or even McAllister in for Berrett. Dembele and DJ wide then take your pick up top.
