Forest Green pre match

[cayambe]

Saturday will be key to see what we are like against a top team, and how willing / capable Mr Beech is to make changes to team , formation and tactics.

Jensen

Riley Whelan Dinzeyi Armer

Gibson Clough Charters Toure

Young Fishburn

Or....

Jensen

Mellor Whelan Dinzeyi Armer

Gibson Clough Riley Charters

Young Fishburn

Spoiled for choice.

Although Guy, Mellish, Dickenson, Norma & McDonald will be shoe-ins and we'll be staring defeat in the face, again.

[Piglet_Phoenix]

I might even play Feeney at left back, or consider dropping Whelan.

My conclusion - we actually don't have a bad squad...

[cayambe]

For me Fishburn is not ready to be on from the start. We need speed at the back.

Riley Feeney Dinzeyi Armer

Gibson Clough Mellish Guy Toure

Who won be furthest forward for you Cayambe, Mellish or Clough?

[cayambe]

Mellish; we need Clough to feed the ball to Toure and Gibson

[Piglet_Phoenix]

So something like this?

Jensen

Riley Feeney Dinzeyi Armer

Clough Guy

Gibson Mellish Toure

Young

4-2-3-1?

Or more 4-2-1-3?

Jensen

Riley Feeney Dinzeyi Armer

Clough Guy

Mellish

Gibson Young Toure

If Mellish plays Beech will rely on hoofball tactics again.

His entire system is built around Mellish picking up scraps.

Drop Mellish and there will be no-one left in the team that is suited to that type of football.

So, for me, the secret to getting the team playing decent football is to drop Mellish.
