Same as Tuesday apart from Vincent for Francis for me

I moaned about Francis myself after the Tamworth win...and then regretted it, thinking it was harsh.

We need that holding midfielder and I've got a feeling all those short passes eventually lead to the nice pass that Mitchell turned into his first goal. That skill of his is important for IB's style and if it's any consolation, the opposition might be as frustrated by all his passes as some of our gerrit forward brigade - or at least sent to sleep before getting the sucker punch! I'm still clinging on to my hopes for Ed Francis...

IB might go Palmer and JOB again, but IMO we can't go into this run of games without a holding midfielder.
Vincent should get minutes as a sub, but we shouldn't risk throwing him into a game like this - it'll be absolutely different to the Tamworth part-timers, two levels below.

....Patterson
Brindley, Cameron, Lacey
Nemane, Palmer, Vincent, Chicksen
......RR
.......Wootton, Mitchell.

Think Vincent deserves a chance and Nemane is better on the right than the left.

Even though it's only the usual 3 points up for grabs, this seems a big game. It will hopefully give us an indication that we are genuine promotion contenders rather than just a team aiming for a playoff place.

I like the look of all the suggested teams on the thread which is a little unnerving.

Certainly plenty of options and decisions to make for IB with an almost fully fit squad.

Big game, big crowd and with the two clubs respective league positions at present hugely important.

What is your suggested team? I feel I am not even close to qualified to suggest one as I do not go to the games of course. I agree plenty of conundrums for IB. Please all of you give them a cheer for me. I am staying up to listen on BBC. COYP.

Same here QLD as sadly this season I'm basing any suggestions predominantly on what I read and hear from trusted sources due to lack games watched.

If all fit I like 3 at the back as I think it's a waste to have one of Rawlinson, Lacey or Cameron not playing cos they are all top performers at this level.

Big fan of 'The Rùben' and Big Kyle so they play every time for me. Not surprised to hear that one of main issues is the wide areas/wing backs and selection there probably depends on the opposition. As does central midfield (Palmer +2) and just how attacking we go 3-4-3 Vs 3-5-2.

IB knows his stuff and I trust him for any team selection/tactical decisions.

Tough game today obviously, should be a good one and jealous of anyone in attendance at the San Sirrel.

Furry Muff laddo'. Won't be many goals in the game today I feel. Do Stockport have this mega bucks signing playing for them? Who knows.

Regardless of the team chosen today we need some sort of result today, can’t say I’m confident really depends on the mentality that turns up today within the team chosen.
