What Team Would You Choose?
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2023 4:34 pmThree huge games coming up, that we probably need nine points from. We could possibly lose tonight, then win the other two, but losing to Oxford or Milton Keynes would probably be it.
With that in mind, how would you set us up? Personally, I don't mind the back three with wing backs. It's the creativity, and Stockton isolated, that is the problem.
_______________Stockton___Crowley_______________
______________________Weir_____________________
Mayor______Gibson_____________Shaw_________Love
_______Bedeau_______Rawson______Simeu_________
____________________Ripley______________________
Obviously, that's if Bedeau is fit. If not, swap Bedeau for Hunter, then move Gibson in to the back, Weir to defensive midfield, Crowley sitting behind Hunter & Stockton. I actually prefer Cooney, but Love has been playing well lately, so I wouldn't drop him. Niasse could give us a decent alternative off the bench, or, if it looks like he's match fit already, perhaps start him?
I reckon a large part of the problem with creativity (or lack of) is Stockton is being marked out of the game, and the rest of the team are pushed too far back. At times on Saturday, Stockton had three players on him. Someone quick & tricky next to Stockton will either take a defender away from him, or, exploit the space that he creates.
What do you think and why?
