team v carlshalton

[michael]

Seems a long way off, but in the abscence of a game last saturday to discuss, thought i'd offer this for discussion.

 

Based on what is currently known about available players,injurie's etc. here's the team i'd go with.

 

SCs

 

Smith Saunders Goodfellow,Joseph

 

Side, Morris,McKimm, JJ

 

Pinnock, Haworth

 

subs:Bowles, Trott,Martin,Quain,Coleman

 

Bit worried about right flank,as Charlie is a striker and may not protect Smith much , but i think you have to play Side against his previous club and from what i read, he looked ok there in his last game.

A bit light of numbers in midfield which concerns me, but JJ will have to 'tuck in' to the centre a bit more.

 

For once, i reckon this is also the team that RT will go with

 

Bit of a selection dilemma for RT on the flanks with Coleman,Quain and Martin all on the bench-and thats before we see Yianni fit .Add in Moir and Axon and you could have a subs bench consisting of 5 'wide' players.Interesting.

Is Trotty fit again? Hope so, be great to have an experienced centre-half on the bench (in case of the dreaded injury hoodoo)

[BlueGate Alan]

Trotty looked fine on Saturday at training.

I think you will find that 'The Gaffer' is suspended on Saturday. This means that he will not be allowed to be in the dugout as well so he could be coaching from the stand on Saturday. Justin will just have to continue with his touchline coaching for another week.

[BlueGate Alan]

Yes you are quite right Joseba.

[buzzgate]

shame, hope the defenders steer clear of injury then!

[Jim (Carshalton)]

I'm happy aslong as its not a 9pm kick off

[cliftonvilleblue]

I've been all the way back through this thread to see if I could find something that would help translate that post of Jim's?!! I'm confused!

[Porka]

Last season's delayed evening kick off against Carshalton that ended up with Greg Oates scoring the winner about 10.15pm I think, CB!

[Jim (Carshalton)]

yeah, after we had peppered your goal and SCS had a blinder

[Broadstairs Dave]

you as salt ed it as well

[I am Spartacus]

 

You will have Jim claiming it was daylight Robin next.

 

Bring back Welshbob or Hornet.

[Jim (Carshalton)]

he he,

 

charlie side, looked very concerned saturday since we've changed manager, but im only saying to make you lot worry.

 

whats the weather like in margate, and does your pitch drain well. i know its a new pitch but can't remember last time we came and it was wet.

It's been raining quite heavily today.But theres also plenty of wind too.

Whatever the weather we get in the meantime Fridays weather is probably the key.

With a better drainage system in place now chances of playing have improved a lot.

Unlike last season,water laying on top goes away pretty quickly now,& given a good 18-24 hours,(before kick-off),of good drying weather,chances of playing improve considerably,though there are no guarantees.

Yeah, yeah, I noticed the duplication too Alan
