With a fit squad apart from walker and Revs what would be your starting 11.
Not sure if i would bring Grant in however Tilly is starting to have faith in the lad.
 
Mildenhall

Sankofa Dervite Clarke Barrett

Francis Macca Christophe Moussa

Freedman Robinson


Subs: Joyce, Grant, Barnard, Laurent, Herd

Grant had been playing well since coming back into the side but I wouldn't bring him straight back into the starting line up as I believe in not changing a winning team but we know Tilly sometimes works in mysterious ways.

I still don't like Moussa on wide left. Not his position at all but there's no alternative.
 
Keep it the same as Brizzle Rovers, but I would like to see how herd would cope at left mid at some point during the game

Sankofa Clarke Dervitte Barrett

Moussa has to play central. I'd reluctantly pick McCormack to partner him, as despite his form, he probably balances Moussa best. Grant isn't ideal, but would play left midfield tucking in to add an extra body to the midfield battle. Him and McCormack could be inter-changed during the game depending if we are attacking or defending more. Christophe is the odd man out.

Scannell has to play as the closest we've got to someone who can provide some flair and width in midfield. Ideally we'd sign the new Mark Gower on loan and Grant would go right midfield in the Pettefer/Bentley role.

If things aren't working out and we are struggling to create chances, Francis could come on for Sankofa to help provide some width down the right. Barnard can be used as fresh legs for Freedman. Betsy could come on for Scannell is Scannell has a mare.

Sub keepers are rarely used and that bench position can be occupied more usefully by an outfield player.

There is... even with Tilly's penchant for sticking with a winning team. Many people here (including me) have talked about the need for creativity in midfield; several people here have talked about Moussa providing it; fewer have talked about playing Macca wide on the left... but this is an alternative. Personally, I'd like Herd there, but I don't pick the team...

I like this formation. Laurent and Robinson running the flanks and channels with Freedman moving across the front. McCormack and Moussa will need to tuck in and give support to the full backs but could work well!

Yes, I agree, trouble is it's not really a Tilly like formation is it?
 
yep Moussa has to start in the centre, imo he is head and shoulders above all the other candidates i.e Christophe, Macca and Grant.

Is what I expect. Would like to see a diamond midfield with Christophe was the holding player and Macca in the more free attacking midfielder role.

My team for Saturday is pretty straightforward - barring any sudden arrivals!

Mildy
Sankofa, Clarke, Dervite, Barrett
Franno, Macca, Jeff, Mousse
Theo and Dougie

Bench - Joyce, Barney, Grant, Scannell, Herd (I reckon Laurent needs a bit longer and maybe a reserve game before inclusion)
