HarryBosch Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Cornell Dieng Wilson Burn Eckerseley??? Croft (FFS) Winchester (Dunn had spoken about rotating for this, surely he must play?) Kelly Jones Forte Paulie Vario Fulton was very good v Wigan but I'm assuming Dunn might leave him out so soon after his first proper game of the season much like DK did with Burn. That said, it was literally Burn's first ever proper game - Fulton has played plenty up in Scotland..... Still, surely Winchester must be in for one of Croft, Kelly, Jones or Fulton...??? And how can he drop Poleon after he came on and took the game by the scruff of the neck? Maybe Poleon for Croft? Selection headaches after a 1-1 home draw v 10 men. What's it all about?

2uptop Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Cornell Brown Wilson Burn Dieng Poleon Kelly Jones Winchester Forte Higdon 4-5-1 that can be easily adapted to 4-3-3 with Forte and Poleon using their pace to push on past Higdon.

Stevie_J Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's Port Vale - whatever team you pick, they'll lose one-nil in a game that'll make you wish you'd never gotten into football in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Winchester (Dunn had spoken about rotating for this, surely he must play?) On the OS last week, Dunn said: “I’m a big believer in picking your strongest team...I don’t think we have the license to squad rotate as much as other teams are but if we can get a team that is pretty consistent then I think that will help us in the long term." http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/dunn-2708437.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 DD says Poleon is food for thought, is that management speak meaning he stays on the bench as we play one up front from the start here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_blue Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 DD says Poleon is food for thought, is that management speak meaning he stays on the bench as we play one up front from the start here? He's more effective from the bench. Impact sub running at a tired defence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 DD says Poleon is food for thought, is that management speak meaning he stays on the bench as we play one up front from the start here? When asked about a possible Higdon/Poleon partnership he mentioned something about carrying on as we are for now, so I don't think we'll see two up front anytime soon.

deyres42 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Poleon has to play now, will do loads of :censored: things but he's the only one we've got with raw pace and that's even more of a must than a defensive midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think, for now, 1 up is the way to go, away from home at least, Poleon from the bench is a good option but I'm not sure he'd be as effective from the start. Dunn's done okay so far, lets get a few more points on the board before we go gung ho, ie. walk before you can run. I get the feeling we will have a good side once Dunn has the squad how he wants it, he's already identified weaknesses and acted very quickly. He hasn't finished yet and there could be one or two more surprises up his sleeve. Steady improvement and movement up the table is what we need now and if we can be comfortably in the top half by Christmas, January onwards could be something we can all look forward to with renewed optimism.

I'd prefer rapid improvement. Are you saying we should wait a while before trying to be good at football? "Calm down lads, let's not be winning games yet. Let's wait til Christmas. Or beyond."

Fruitygoo Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I generally go down to vale park...really struggling to motivate myself. Just can't shake the feeling that if we're to pick up any points, it'll have to be a nil nil. To go, or not to go....thats the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
