Team v Oxford

[Harry J Allstars]

McShane

Ross, McCarthy, Hawkins

Ricketts, Quinn, De Bolla, Long, Keeling

Moore, MacDonald.

 

This isn't all Daish has up his sleeve, he's also applied some mind tricks.

Why change a winning side, particularly as the article says that Keeling is "close to full fitness"

 

I certainly can't see a case for dropping Opinel, who was my MOM last saturday, and Ledgister certainly did enough to warrant another start.

 

The only change I would consider would be to bring back Cronin if he is fully fit.

[Harry J Allstars]

Thats the trouble with having so many players and actually being quite busy at work, I'd forgot about Opinel and Ledgister. Would still bring back Ricketts for Joel but keep Opinel and put Keeling on the bench along with Mott, Sodje, Ledgister, Purcell and James Smith.

Agree with bringing back Lance if he is fit, as for why change a winning side surely the answer is to play the best side available irrespective of last weeks result.
I expect Oxford away to be a very tough game and Opinels defensive capabilities may well be needed, if he can stay on the pitch.
I would give Ledgister another try and maybe bring on Keeling for Opinel after the yellow card or towards the end if we are chasing the game.
I would like to see Ricketts in for Quinn but I doubt very much that that will happen.

Is it not about picking the best team, to beat the side that you are actually playing? Due to the oppositions tactics and playing methods.

[Slartibartfast]

We are in better form than them and have already beaten them once this season, why not play to our strengths and let them worry about our tactics and methods?

[Hawkeye]

We were the start of their bad run, lets hope that we are not the end of it...

[northfleet_lad]

if rusden can beat oxford at oxford on sky and we can beat rusden twice.. we have a good chance. i think we will win and it be a gd game

[John Pearce]

Surely LD has got to pick the best available side with a view to getting a postive result.

 

There is little point in picking a side with a view of going for a draw, as that can all so easily go wrong.

 

I would suggets however that both Keeling and Cronin start on the bench, despite being 'fit' again, that does not mean they are both match fit.

 

Saturday's game is probably the biggest game of the season. A win, could put the 'Fleet second and also put some space between us and the chasing pack. Team spirit doesn't seem to be a problem, nevertheless a win at Oxford would be brilliant and could well be the launch pad for ensuring at the very least a play-off place and a place in the FA Trophy final.

Cannot wait. Biggest game in quite some time!

[Riverview Supporter]

four point over the next two games can send us toNorthwich , relaxed , full of spirit and believe.

 

Six points and we could be on the verge of something big.

 

I just cant believe that its february and we are talking about gaps in the league to push us into playoffs and not about how many poiints we need for survival
