And now for something completely different.

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

A positive view.

​

Oxley

​

Demetriou Ferdinand Inniss Coker

​

Timlin Lenny Wordsworth McLaughlin

​

Ranger Cox

 

[Ricey]

A positive view.

​

Oxley - Calamity

​

Demetriou - International duty Ferdinand - not match fit Inniss - injury prone Coker - lacking confidence

​

Timlin - Injured Lenny - lacking confidence Wordsworth - injured McLaughlin - injury prone

​

Ranger - injured Cox

And now a negative spin. :winking:

Ranger Cox

Timlin on the right side of midfield? Not sure that will work. Brown kept doing that last season, playing one winger and it didn't work at all.

The Ferdinand Inniss partnership might end up being exactly what we need.

One things is for sure, we need to get Wordsworth and Ranger fit asap.

 

[duncan bulgaria]

That's a decent side on paper , we will no doubt lose to Bolton but i don;t see the doom and gloom

We have a mixture of a couple of young players with some added Premier League experience in Cox, Ferdinand and Ranger

If someone had told me we would have potentially 3 ex prem players in our starting 11 i would of bit your hand off

I believe now Brown has 'his' team and the fact he does have a 'high profile' reputation which enables him to get these players to join us means he should be judged until Christmas IMO

Timlin and Lenny could play behind Wordsworth and McLaughlin. So Timlin can move in a bit.

I agree with you on Oxley. Obviously I am looking on the positive in that the starting line up will all be available and fit.

Losing to Bolton is expected as they are big hitters this year , its if we put in a decent performance is my biggest question , do that and we will be fine

 

[rararblue]

Still prefer the idea of 3 centre bags allowing Demetriou and Coker to get forward as Wing Backs.
Oxley
Demetriou Thompson Ferdinand Inniss Coker
Leonard Timlin Wordsworth
Ranger Cox

Back up of
Smith
White Sokilik Barrett Krypto
Mclaughlin Shaw Atkinson Bridge Mcgl.
Mooney Robinson

Looks a strong squad to me.

I'm hoping after his checkawhatever trophy performance maybe Smith might start on sat. Much prefer him to be given a go than Oxley.

 

[Beefy]

It's a big game to be putting Smith in for though. He could play well and still concede three at Bolton which puts him on the back-foot straight away. I'd be inclined to stick with Oxley this week and ease Smith in afterwards.

 

[Derbyshire Blue]

I can't imagine dropping Oxley would do much for his confidence either, a bit of reassurance and knowing he's got the gig for a run of games might help him while at the same time knowing that Smith is knocking at the door will keep him on his toes.

Yep, tough on Ted, but I'd agree.

Oxley might also benefit from the 3 CB's system and a tighter midfield in front of him.

That said, Ted and Kyps* should be used in the two EFL Trophy games coming up and then, if all still looks good, be eased into the side this season.






*Have we nicknamed him yet?

Wouldn't be surprised to see us starting up like this when Tims and Woody are fit. Who's Shaw?

Bolton wont be able to handle our 6 over lapping right backs + they definitely wont get past our solid wall of 5 centre backs.

Nailed on 0-0

I agree on 5-3-2 think that suits us

Just one thing, who is Shaw? did I miss something?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I remember a 5-2 tanking of Bolton at the Hall.. Oh how the mighty have fallen

 

[AndyT]

Great match, that one! :thumbsup:

Bob .... he keeps recommending crap players so eventually he will get picked.... guy is sharp, manipulated PB into having to pick him

I definitely give ted smith a run out Least he quick of his line
