Cup final v Fisher

[paulc27]

Ok so what do you think our starting line up is going to be?

 

for me,

 

Millard

Kerrers

Swaine

Dormer

Macca

 

Hodges

Leon

Gamo

Forbes

 

Flack

Elder

 

I reckon this will go all the way to extra time, with us nicking one in the closing moments. 1-0 to us!!

[jl]

My team would be:

 

Millard

Macca Swaine Dormer Kerrers

Hodges Game Hunter Collins

Elder Flack

 

subs:Brightley, Brown, Henty, Forbes, Poole

 

I think it'll be a very close game, hopefully we can win it, but whatever happens it will be a quality night....Come on you blues!!!

[Fish_Fan_Joe1]

My team will be;

 

Pullen

C Piper Warren Davies Deen

Riviere Hearn Barr L Piper

Watts West

 

Bench: Smith, Duku, Clancy, Packham, err thats it...no one else available!

 

I agree with the predictions, it will be a very close game. Whoever gets the run of the green, one or two dodgy decisions will probably edge it...lets hope for a classic!

[Simon BTFC]

Think you'll find West is cup tied, having played for East Thurrock against Heybridge in an earlier round...

[Fish_Fan_Joe1]

hmmm well thats not a bad thing I suppose.

 

With that being the case push Barr up front and place Smith in the middle...

[GazzaBTFC]

Millard

Macca, Swaine, Dormer, Kerrers

Henty, Game, Hunter, Hodges

Flack, Elder

 

Subs; Poole, Forbes, Brown, Collins, Brightly

 

2 1 to us. Wouldn't be surprised if it went to extra time. I'm looking forward to a tight and exciting game.

[The Observer]

cant wait for this one

 

millard

macca, swaine, dorms, keerigan

henty, hunter, game, collins

flack, elder

 

forbes, hodges, poole, brown, brightley

 

3-2 blues

[paulc27]

interesting to see that none of us agree on the midfield.

Yeh, it proves how strong our team is at the mo.

Swaine has been a revelation since he came in, but Brown did well Vs Fish in the league and he has a few years on Rob.

Was swain an instant pick for the collective you?

[Fish_Fan_Joe1]

Pleased to see you boys have so much choice at your disposal...we have 12 available outfield players so I doubt these 'Pick your side' posts would work very well amongst our following!

 

Pick your keeper 'Pullen or Packham' would probably work better...

 

I'm confident however my Metalic balloons will inspire the Fish to victory!

[paulc27]

yep, seems Swain has been the pick for us all over Brown. One thing I would say is that on Sat in the second half, I got to stand level with our back four and again it was very very quiet with no player really taking command.

Balloons!! we should get some too!!

[GazzaBTFC]

Well, we could always put Dorms in midfield....But I prefer his leadership in the back four at the mo

[The Town Crier]

 

 

I think Dorms is a must at the back, his leadership is inspirational.

 

And let’s face it, our midfield is pretty strong at the moment.

We'll just stick with fans <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Fish_Fan_Joe1]

Ahhhh we've got a solution for that...

 

We've had the felt tip pens out in force for our replacement card board cutout fans. We're hoping by placing these behind your goal these will bamboozle Millard no end!

[GazzaBTFC]

What impresess me most about Rob Swaine at the mo is his coolness on the ball. And his "chat" on the field. for one so young, he appears to want to take command of the back four...

[smallsy]

whack dormer in midfield, brown and swaine at the back.

[Ryan.c]

Think I'd prefer Dormer at the back (who would've thought we'd be saying that!). Close call between Swaine and Brown, but on recent form I'd go with Swaine.

Millard

McSweeney, Swaine, Dormer, Kerrigan

Henty, Hunter, Game, Collins

Flack, Elder

 

The good thing at the moment is that whatever side we put out, we know it's going to be strong.

For me Dormer was an instant pick at the back as he is a senior head and is composed on the ball. I'd be very interested to know whether it is a short or long term switch for him in this defensive role (ie whether he is happy playing there as that could be one area for next season sorted).

It was an instant pick for me to put Swaine ahead of Brown. They are both of similar stature and have limited experience (very in Swaine's case) but I feel that Swaine has the potential to be a very good defender and of course would be another success for our youth system - which I hope we persevere with.

I did think about moving Macca inside and playing Henty at right back as its such a big game but then I thought that Swaine showed by playing in front of 600 Dons fans that he has the bottle for the big occasion.

As you say, whichever way Matty goes I'm sure the lads will give it everything tomorrow.

[c'mon ricay]

Millard

Macca, Swaine, Dormer, Kerrers

Hodges, Game, Hunter, Collins

Flack, Elder

 

Subs Dale, Brown, Henty, Poole, Forbes

 

I think Dormer is a must at the back at the mo as you really need a leader in midfield (hunter) and in defence Dormer

 

On the subject of the youth team as the time I was most impressed with the team in particular Swaine and another lad Tydeman (or something like that) is still with the youth side and if so how is he progressing
