Starting 11 v Woking

[the_anticlough]

Interesting match up against Woking with a complete contrast in styles.

Patterson

Brindley Lacey Brennan Taylor

Vincent Palmer

Nemane Rodriguez Mitchell

Wootton

4 at the back for me to counteract Woking direct attacking play.

Vincent to replace Francis to add some energy and physicality to the midfield. Francis just isn't cutting it for me currently

Nemane on the right. It's about time he got a proper run out to see what he is capable off. He's not a wing back for me so playing 4 at the back allows him to focus on attacking.

Very nice team, agree with everything, apart from...
I'd give Francis another chance to show what he can do...with 4 at the back, full-backs that can get forward, I think the positional discipline Francis provides is important. And why lose Palmer in his normal role and replace him with an unknown performance wise?
Vincent to build up his game more gradually? Give him 20-25mins and take it from there?

I reckon he will revert to the winning 4-3-3 (or 4-2-3-1) formation and fans will be spared the tedium of seeing 5 defenders picked for a home game
