Match Thread vs. Bromley 15.05.21 [NL]

[Stan Marshall]

Sounds like Bromley are very direct. We may miss Rawlinson’s physical presence at the back today.

You might as well. That team selection is pretty much all she wrote for the Notts careers of Turner and McCrory, if we didn't already know. Both would expect to be considered ahead of Brindley for a centre-half position, and the fact that they've been left on the bench suggests that the manager is already looking to the future.

Interesting conclusion and certainly would suggest that.

I don't know anything about Bromley's forward line and what threat they pose maybe that had something to do with the selection from my man IB?

No. Brindley can definitely drop in to central defence. The alternative is a less mobile CB playing. I don’t want to name him in case he reads this (though 99.9% certain he won’t)

You're spot on. Wish fans would catch up with Burchnall who seems to believe that Brindley and Chicksen are exactly the type of players you need to play 3-5-2. With that formation there is only 1 'centre-half' position, the other two are specialist roles that solid full-backs are more likely to excel in than conventional CBs who'd appear in a 4-4-2

something like Pedro Richards / Craig Short / Alan Sheehan would be a dream back 3

Sheehan has been released by Northampton.

Worth a look? (For the record, I am not being serious! 5 or so years ago maybe).

It may suggest that for Turner, but not for McCrory. Would be madness to throw him straight back in for this game.

[jackal2]

Isn't this McCrory's first match day squad for months?? Of course he isn't going to start.

I wouldn't dispute that the team selection is a more conclusive statement on Turner than on McCrory, but I'm still pretty confident both will be on their way shortly. Time will tell.

They’ve got Michael Cheek, the league’s top scorer. Fairly pacy and mobile. Wouldn’t have been good for Ben Turner.

Yep. They've got a damn Cheek!

[tied_up_in_notts]

Yep. They've got a damn Cheek!

He's gone four games without a goal though, so things not so rosy for him at the moment

I was desperately trying to avoid Cheeky puns lads.
