[SinceSept1959]

The recurring problem to solve is the back line.
I'd certainly play 4-2-3-1 at Bradford and certainly give JOB the armband.
The dilemma is centre back , granted Rawlo is not quick but neither is Andy Cook ,so strength is a plus for Rawlo .As for the Sutton strikers being garbage , Smith is a horrible character but he's physical , effective and packs a good shot.
Depending on squad availability through fitness and injury issues, here goes ......
Slocombe.

Macari , Baldwin , Rawlinson & Chicksen.

JOB & Robertson.

Crowley , Austin , Jones

Macca.

Subs ; LAH , Cameron ,
Mahovo , Bostock , Nemane , Colkett & Jatta


Assuming that Didzy and Warner will be missing.

I didn't want to get into this, but I haven't seen any of those you mention as bad as that. He could hardly complete a pass. Just watch it back.

Watch Baldwin for a start on Tuesday there is your starting point.

OK, if I get time tomorrow I'll detail the first 20mins v Crewe and the first 20mins v Sutton for the players in question and see how 'subbable' each performance was.
But let's not forget AB put a lot of credit in the bank with his performances so far in 2024, is recognised as our best player at the back, so no head coach is going to bring him off early without very good reason.

Warner is simply not ready for this level of football. Rawlinson may be slow, but he is an head it and kick it defender, which we need at this moment. As for Slocombe, well i think he is the best of a bad bunch..

After the way he got turned by Harry Smith do you really think he is up to it? 2 absolute tanks there and he made Smith look like Messi.

Regardless of the team selection if he plays Jodi on the right at all I’m rioting.

I dont need a tape and your comments say it all "credit in the bank"

I thought you judge it on the game in front of you maybe im wrong about the game.

Interesting selection. Albeit controversial. When has Bostock ever played at the back?
