Team for Barnet?

[Mapperleypie]

Pilkington, Doyle, Edwards, Baudet, Ullathorne, Pipe, Needham (McMahon 59), Martin, Palmer, Dadi (Chillingworth 70), Scoffham (Frost 70).
Subs Not Used: Marshall, O'Callaghan.

I find it strange that people want to leave out Stead when he is in the best goal scoring form of his Notts career, he may look tired but I bet he wants to keep playing while he is scoring every game.

It has nothing to do with his goal scoring prowess. We have lots of games so resting him for part of the Barnet game is not totally ridiculous, is it? Let’s say he starts on Saturday and pulls a hamstring and is out for 6-8 weeks, KN says it’s caused by fatigue, there would be up roar.
You and I both no he will start, my personal opinion is to give the lad a break.
It wasn’t that long ago people wanted Stead out of the side.

Oh God nooooooo. I honestly don't even remember who Doyle was.

We look awful without Hewitt in midfield, so he has to start if fit. I'd also start Hall and Bennett, dropping either of the CBs and Ameobi, who can be wheeled on if needed for the last 20 mins.

I was all about sacking Fitz after what he did, but now I've calmed down a bit I'd also put him back in the side. Tootle as well if available. As others have said, don't play Virtue - he simply isn't good enough. I'd rather have Noble on the pitch. Grant looks a bit jaded but then we need goals in the side.

I wasn't one of them, let's say he starts Saturday and scores the winner

I love the fact I have lauded Hewitt when some on here have seen him as a pit part player. To be honest I thought he was crap last season but my lad loved him. I am now taking direction from a 12 year old.

Dont we all....

Hopefully having a mobile goal threat up front in Bennett will take the pressure (and tight marking) off Grant.

Most of them are pens though

[MancMagpie]

Collin
Tootle Brisley Duffy Jones
Grant Hewitt Husin Alessandra
Bennett Stead

Ameobi as impact sub if needed
Noble as 'Kick the **** of of them' sub if needed

Some people sat near me were knocking Alessandra against Crewe but I thought he did some creative things and looked dangerous at times. He just needs to improve his decision making.
