Well done on tactical plan but (perhaps I'm old fashioned) why possibly now change a winning team? Why worry about the opposition too much?
Often when we lose a number of people cite lack of workrate, no-one interested and so on...when actually it's a lack of composure, intelligence and not looking after the ball
Long ball to Hanson is a 50/50 call - and if he flicks it on it's often to no one
Saturday shows if you have the right players in the starting XI you can play passing football with pace
So I'd be thinking Hanson, Whitehouse, Clifton, Hewitt - only squad players and part of Plan B (and they will get game time when subs need making)
In Max, Ogbis, Akheem (poss Green), Hess, Robson, Cook we have the makings of a very potent front six for this level
Goalie and back four pretty much sorted - as good as most in this league
As Lord Buckley has said - pick your best XI - stick with them - pass and move - ball retention - bingo!
Not so hard and fast for me. Football has moved on and not everyone plays 4-4-2 like in Buckley’s day. Each game on its merits. Horses for courses and all that. Use the squad to best effect and that’s what he’ll do, clearly.

This is what I don't get - why wouldn't you worry about the opposition? If Mansfield have a back 4 all about 5'10'' and a keeper who couldn't catch a cold, I'd be playing Hanson & Green and loading it at every opportunity. Or if they have a load of massive lumps at the back who win every header but can't run, then look at something similar to yesterday. That's what Jolley and Limbrick get paid to do - find a way to beat the opposition. We aren't Man City or Barcelona - we can't force teams to play the way we want because we don't have the quality to completely control the play for 90 minutes, very few teams do.

We agree to disagree Bet Bury didn't chop and change last season too much Passing footy Promoted Not that it ended happily!
Perhaps most vital thing is to have this midfield starting most games Pace Energy Creativity
Hewitt Harry Whitehouse
No thanks

The best front 3 at the moment would be Wright, Hanson and Ogbu. Gives you a bit of everything.
Greens spectacular goals have been great, but on current form I would prefer Wright.
Ogbu has been briliant, and I guess there is a lot more to come as he settles into English football.
I think there is only the need for one defensive midfielder, and that position is being filled by Hess.
I was disappointed we didn't play Robson, Cook Wright and Ogbu against Chelsea but it certainly foxed Exeter by playing them all yesterday.

The big difference between the midfielders who played yesterday and the players who were left out is their technical ability. There’s no real surprise that one of our best footballing performances came with Whitehouse and Clifton on the bench behind Robson and Cook (Hess picked automatically pretty much).

Agree with last two posts I would not object to Hanson in that front three Livo Sir Keith Two who were part of a good passing team

I think you've partly answered your own point there. Bury had higher quality players who could play the passing game, fast enough. Players they couldn't afford. We're not quite in sow's ear territory, but we're not up with the silk purse holders either.

Probably a good point re Bury I suppose my main point is we have a squad that can easily play attacking, pacy, passing footy as Saturday showed Third goal was superb
