Mets

[Guest]

I see from todays Observer that Mets is allowed to play against Gravesend as the ban is only a one-game ban after all, which was served against AFC. Good news.

 

Gives Eddie a bit of a headache though. Can't see Wilko being dropped and although it would be harsh i'd think about leaving Spence out, only because of our poor away record for this game to tighten things up in midfield? Thoughts?

[Martin]

I would tend to agree with you. Leave Spence out for this one (harsh though that is) and go with the more solid Mets and Wilko. If it needs changing you have a good option on the bench. But having said that it is good to have three different midfield types when we start with say Wilko, Spence and Chopper.

 

When our midfielders are fit and suspension free that has to be our most competitive area for places.

maybe leaving mets on the bench to start off with would be a better plan, that midfield did well against AFC on tuesday, and introduce mets if needed

[Martin]

I don't think Mets is really an impact player. He tends to try and control the midfield and dictate the pace of the game - not something that is easily done coming off the bench.

Agreed, Mets needs to start. An 'Inpact' player in my opinion is someone like Hakki or Spencer

you are joking about being a teacher aren't you Kirby?

i too agree that we need Mets to start if he's available... he 's improved a lot in the past month and having a strong midfielder is always going to be a bonus against some of the bully boy sides we've encountered this season

I personally would keep the same team as Tuesday. The 11 players selected played bl**dy well in the second half and have deserved their starting places. That's no reflection on Mets but I would think it very unfair if any of the others were left out. The only reason I would start Mets is if Wilko has any injury worries.

[charlie]

fair enough.... didn't have the joy of seeing tuesday's game but i suppose the result must reflect how well the side worked together

[Nathan]

Don't want Wilko to be dropped, though he had a good game Tuesday, and didn;t deserve to be dropped so soon.

 

Judging by Tuesday, I would like to see Spencer dropped, but I hope Tuesday was just an off day for him

[Martin]

I thought Spencer had a decent game. I don't "want" any of our players dropped. I thought all three did well on Tuesday which is why Eddie has a selection dilemma ahead of the game. As it should be.

I agree that players should retain their places if they've played well. No-one should be just able to walk into the side as that breeds complacency. Even if Hodgey was able to return up front today I'd leave Seedel in as I thought his second half performance was the real difference on Tuesday.

 

Thinking back though, for the Walsall game Eddie played both Mets and Wilko and left out Spence and it wouldn't surprise me if he did the same today, away against higher opposition.

[Radders]

No, Spencer played but he partnered Hodgy up front setting up the first goal when about 20 yards offside. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Ian]

Yes, ur right but the point was more about playing

mets and wilko....so there!!!!

Calm down dear, it's a commercial.
