My Team For Saturday

[GarySTFC]

GK - Parkin (Made some good confidence boosting saves tonight after a shaky start)

 

LB - Steer

LCB - Moller

RCB - Saulsbury/Daly

RB - Carbon

 

LM - Haddow? If not, Steer with Murphy at LB

CM - Wilkinson (if fit), if not, Shepherd (if fit), if not, Metcalfe

CM - Hakki, if not, Spencer

RM - Harris

 

CF - Miller/Deaner if fit.

CF - Seedel

 

Bloody hell that was quite tricky.... With a fully fit team, it's not really a problem.

[Guest]

My team for Saturday would be.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Staines because at least they looked like they wanted it!

 

It can only get better - please?

[Martin]

Come on SR it was better than Saturday, despite the evidence to the contrary. It is difficult to pick a team for Saturday as I don't know who is fit and/or eligible. But a change for 4-4-2 is on the cards.

 

 

[Ted]

I'd try Carbon upfront.

[Martin]

Well given that Hodges, Miller, Deaner are injured and Matt Murphy is cup tied it may not be a bad shout.

[Barry Scott]

I hear Radders is signing Ryman league forms as we speak (and you think I'm joking)

[GarySTFC]

Wouldn't be eligible for Saturday though, you have to be on the books seven days prior to the game, so possibly for the replay?

 

Anyway, Carbon upfront? Nothing aerially then. For some reason, Josi can't deal with the ball in the air, he seems to struggle badly with anything above his head, and with no aerial winning ball striker to play alongside him, I don't think it would be that good an idea just yet.

[Radders]

Going by who is realistically likely to be fit my 11 would be

 

GK. Parkin

 

RB. Carbon

CB. Gyoury

CB. Daly

LB. Moller

 

RM. Harris

CM. Murphy

CM. Metcalfe

LM. Steer

 

CF. Spencer

CF. Seedel

 

If any of the others do happen to be fit then that is a bonus but looking solely on last night's squad as those who are currently available (and that doesn't include Miller or Wilko as he went off) this is who I would pick.

[evadne]

We have thirteen uninjured players who are not cup tied or on loan - Radders XI above plus Shepard and Saulsbury - so everyone will get a game!

[Radders]

If Shepherd is fit then I would put him in centre midfield, Murphy at left back and Moller in the centre with Gyoury missing out.

[Chris]

Ted's got a point about playing Josias up front Saturday as he can play there like he did at Oxford United Youth. Trouble is who do you play right-back?

 

Another option is Michael Murphy up front. Played there in our Conference days, and it would provide us with a bit of pace up there?

 

Just something to think about...

[Radders]

Very true. A swap of Spencer and Murphy in my original line up may work better.

[Martin]

Thirteen fit players? How did it come to this? We were raving about squad depth a couple of weeks ago. Talk about bad luck.

 

On that basis my team:

 

Parkin

 

Carbon, Saulsbury, Gyoury, Moller

 

Chops, Mets, Shep, Steer

 

Spence, Smurf 1
