Thought provoking Bob... Hard to leave Hish out of the starting line up on recent form, if he's fit for 90 mins... I think that what this shows is that we've got a pretty good squad with players who can bring different things to the table. Picking a winning team will require a good understanding of the oppo's likely game plan, how to counter their strengths and prey on their weaknesses. Nothing new there but if management do the research we should have most of the necessary attributes in our squad to pick the right team match by match. Motivating players to support the squad/rotation ethos will also be crucial. Of course, it'll be done nothing like that!  |

Your last sentence is interesting Rich!! Plus the tail piece!!
It's good problems to have with a very talented squad, and who you leave out/upset is how a good Manager does his job.
Unfortunately, I don't see CJ as a regular LB, and Freddie would be a shoe in when he is fit, but CJ will always give his best wherever he plays.
Where to play CJ? Next question!
Hodge would be in if you play four midfield, and I still think Mitch is a bit short of the pace at present, so would play Ferdinand ( if fit from his arm injury).
Michael needs to show a bit more strength, as he gets brushed aside far too easily, but is a very skilful and tricky player, if he looks up now and again.
Still not sure if Ricky has a full 90 in him.
Hish is young and still learning, but as an impact sub late on, would be fantastic.
Depends as you say on the oppo and their strength and weaknesses, which I hope would be recognised by Management prior to games?
We also seem to have an obsession with a back 3, so that could alter the defence positions once again, who knows?
Anyway, I've put my team out, lets see what others think, or how it compares with the Hemel start?
See you Saturday.

And I feel to try it again now against teams that are bigger than us would just be suicidal. |

Spencer mentions in the recent interview that certain players will be sent out on dual reg or have been already. Wonder who that will be. Perhaps Paget is the one who's gone already.
