    Who gets your nod in midfield for this coming Saturday?

    Towell - been out three games?

    Vaulks - Mr consistent or is he due a rest?

    Crooks - New lad chomping at the bit to get started?

    Wiles - Showing great presence since starting in games?

    Warne has a dilemma to deal with but who would be your two middle men?

    Didn't want to post my choice so early but you've chosen what I had in mind. It's time for a change and these two have a lot to prove and maybe just maybe, they may show more guile and attack by backing Smith up front on his own, instead of holding back in a safe midfield area.

    Is Crooks right or left footed

    Isn't it a bit of a risk to put a player who has no experience at this level straight into the match.
    Unlikely as PW says he needs to get him up to speed.

    Very brave to drop Vaulks as he got into a cship team of the weekend yet again. He does this week after week

    Towell will be wanting to make amends I,d have him and Vaulks with Crookes on bench

    Mike to answer your question here's the answer. Apparantly can score with either but does look to favour his right more.
    Also like the fact he likes his long range efforts.

    Apologies for the s.hite music that accompanies the video, you might want to turn down your volume. don't know why they add this kind of crap to videos.

    Favours his right foot however can shoot with both.

    Play him just in front of Back four, Forde right side, Wiles left side, Towell and Vaulks in the centre-midfield.

    Smudger up front with Wiles or Towell pushing forwards to help him out.
    Ajayi back to CB.

    EDIT : Warne will probably be cautious and put Crooks on the bench although I would like to see him start.

    Thanks for the information re Crooks. Towell , stupidly getting sent off, did us no favours for some important games. He's had a rest now , so put him back in . I'd be tempted to play Vaulks at right back.

    All 4 in a diamond formation with Smith and Yates up front. Towell just behind strikers, Crooks right of diamond, Wiles left of and Vaulks holding.

    ...bearing in mind the goals coming down Vyners wing, put Vaulks RB instead.(or Jones). Then maybe Towell/Crookes sharing 90 mins, with Wiles, and Semi holding midfield.

    We have to try something different, because nearly everything we tried up to now hasn't worked. We've got to go forwards and have a go BEFORE we go a goal down, this scoring late on and 1-1 isnt going to keep us up.......
