Starting XI Vs Horsham

[Matt H]

The friendlies are over and we've had a chance to see who fits in where. The excitment is growing to a climax and I can't wait for Saturday. Starting XI I'd go with is:

 

------------------- Wiseman ---------------------

 

------- West ------- Moore ------- Patten -------

 

- Gordon - Mustafa - Dobinson - Lee - Fanibuyan -

 

------------- Antoine ------ Luck ---------------

 

SUBS: Mel, Crow, Halle, Edwards, J. Curran.

 

Oliva would replace Crow on the bench if he wasn't suspended.

 

Any advances on that line-up?

-------------------- Wiseman --------------------

 

-- West ------- Moore ---- Patten ---- Mustafa --

 

- Gordon - Dobinson - Halle - Lee - Fanibuyan ---

 

-------------------- Antoine --------------------

 

Subs: Capleton, Davidson, Edwards, Corbell, Luck

Im not into this '1 up front' business.

[The Great Eckscape]

I like it with Antoine up top and Gordon and Gabs joining in

[Canvey Fan 1926]

Hmm, I'm not sure. I don't really like it - but if it works then I'm not going to complain!

[Matt H]

Both have worked during pre-season.

 

The first two goals against East Thurrock were scored with 1 up front, and then with Lucky coming on and us going two up front he managed to get his hat-trick.

 

Again yesterday, with two up front we managed to score four goals.

 

I personally don't like playing 1 up front at home unless we're against far superior opposition. However I do believe that there will be times this season when we're away from home that this formation will be required.

Like the look of that, although i would prefer Mel in goal.
Don't like just the one up front, although i guess there will be times when we need that formation.

having seen horsham play last season and I think if they carry on their form from last season they will be a good attacking side and to be on the safe side I would pick 4 at the back just to be on the safe side so I think glens formation would be right against them

[ShedBoy]

I would play 4-4-2.. We looked far more dangerous and compact using that formation. Plus the pace we have with Lucky & Antoine has to be used.. Also for me Mel has to play in goal, his experience will be a big plus..

 

-------------------- Capleton --------------------

 

-- Mustafa ------- Moore (Capt) ---- Patten ---- West --

 

- Gordon ------ Dobinson - Halle ------Fanibuyan ---

 

----------- Antoine -------Luck-------------------

 

Subs: Wiseman, Davidson, Edwards, Corbell,J Curran

 

That's my team for the first game, it would change if Oliva & Lee were avalible for the first game..

 

Westy looked comfortable playing left back so i would move him into that position for the Horsham game and play Mustafa Right Back..

 

Can't wait for Saturday, there is no doubt it will be a tough opening game..

 

[Mini Goose]

Can't beat 4-4-2 in my opinion.

 

Need 4 at the back and Lucky and Antoine up top.

Also would be interesting to see if they spent some of their FA Cup money on their squad

 

anyway good luck lads on satarday

Earlier this week I suggested that Sutton United were blowing their beans on players in an attempt to win promotion from the Ryman Premier League for 2008/09.

Having now heard that a currently homeless Ryman Premier club are offering some of their players

If both Lee and Oliva are unavailable i would go for:-

-------------------Capleton------------------

 

---------------Halle------Moore--------- Patten-----------------

 

Gordon---------------------------------------------------Fanibyun

----------------Edwards------Dobinson------Mustafa---------------

 

----------------------Antoine------Luck--------------------------

 

Subs, Wiseman, Crow, West, Curran, Corbell.

 

Very attacking lets go for the jugular from the start.

[Matt H]

If David Lee is unavailable for the first game I would revert to 4-4-2 with the same line-up as Shedboy's.

[The Great Eckscape]

Oh yeah, forgot Lee was unavaible.

[YELLOW]

Is Lee suspended then?

[ShedBoy]

Best Man at a wedding apparently..

[michael_terrell]

get Edwards in there, he looks different class in pre season!!
