ca 1 Posted February 20, 2008 This is the team I would play for the Barnsley game, whats your opinion MarshallSemmy Shacks Doc CamaraCroft Spillane Pattison Bertrand Dion Evans Subs:Gilks Rossi Jarvis Juan Cureton HucksDion can cover for the back two in case of injury, Curo and Hucks can both play upfront if needbe, Bertrand can move back to replace Camara should he get injured or be having an off day and Hucks can cover Bertrand on the wing, Rossi can keep Spillane on his toes, Juan can come on and replace Semmy for last 30 mins to get match fit ( if we''re winning)Manager = CityangelCoach = GazzathegreatPhsio = KathyLet us women show you how its done [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 0 Posted February 20, 2008 If Juan is good and fit then why not play 5 in midfield with Super Ched/min Chedders up front.MarshallSemmy Shacks Doc CamaraCroft Spillaine Juan(sweeper in front of defence) Pattison Bertrand/HuckerbySuper Ched.Otherwise the most obvious would be to simply fill in the blanks and start with Cureton and Chedders up front.

Freeza 0 Posted February 20, 2008 MarshallSemmy Doherty Pearce Bertrand Spillane Jarvis Pattison Croft Huckerby EvansSubs: Gilks, Shackell, Gibbs, Velasco, CuretonAbout time Pearce was given a go and we were defensively awful last week so Shacks out but not much between him and Doc. I really, really don''t rate Camara. A tough tackling midfield with one sitting deep and other two supporting the attack but no fricking long ball! Let Croft and Hux run at their defence and give it to Evans feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheerio 0 Posted February 20, 2008 I saw Martin at Luton - he deserves a last chance. He was on fire at kenilworth, scored three, could have been six. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted February 20, 2008 Quite a tricky one this. I think we all assume Pattison will play in central midfield but then who plays in there alongside him? The only 2 real contenders are Spillane and Gibbs. For me Spillane is decent at getting at stuck in but his use of the ball is fairly average and I don''t think he gives you much going forward. And although he always works hard Pattison has lacked any finesse since his first few appearances when he played some good football. So Spillane and Pattison in midfield probably wouldn''t create too much. Gibbs has obviously failed to impress so far but he''s from Arsenal so you have to assume that the lad can play a bit.I wonder if Velasco can do a job in central midfield?Hopefully Huckerby will start, pretty sure that Simon Davey would be quite chuffed if he didn''t see our number 6 on the team sheet. But then if we don''t have a central midfielder who can pick passes then we''re not going to get our wide players and forwards into the game anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,952 Posted February 20, 2008 I would play: MarshallVelasco Doc Shacks CamaraCrofty Spillane Patty Bertrand Evans HuckerbySubs: Gilks, Semmy, Pearce, Cureton, Gibbs.I think he has to start Huckerby, now is the time for him to come in and stake a real claim, remind us all of the Hucks of old.I have been critical of Hucks recently, I think he will start on Sat and hopefully he will prove me wrong by running rings round Barnsley!

I think that Hucks could play well off Evans, Evans uses the channels well and would allow Hucks to puxh forward, I have always rated him up front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stone 0 Posted February 21, 2008 MarshallSemmy Doc Shacks CamaraCroft Gibbs Pattison Bertrand Evans Cureton Subs: Hucks, Pearce, Martin, Velasco, SpillaneThe back four had been solid before last week and deserve the opportunity to redeem themselves. Gibbs is a massive gamble after his last outing but hopefully he''ll have learnt from that and will have got his head down in training over the last fortnight in preparation for another start. Think I''d dispense with sub keeper as it''s a bit of a patched-up team and we need as many outfield options as possible should it not work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scooby 0 Posted February 21, 2008 Even if we get enough points to get close to the playoffs our problem will be goal difference. With this in mind, and the lack of goals at Carra recently I say ATTACK, ATTACK!! I would say we''re safe (ish) from the drop so what do we have to lose, be bold Glenn.Therefore my team would be: MarshSemi Doc Shacks MoGibbs/Henry Patty Bertie Crofty Ched HucksSubs, Gilks Pearce Vela Curo RossiShould be enough pace to scare any back four but PLEASE Glenn don''t play the Doc up front, BIG mistake ...... HUGE !! I know either Gibbs or Henry don''t make the bench, but it''s only 5 isn''t it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
