Azankpo has been better for us this season no question. I also think he's been more suited to playing up front on his own than Wilson, who I think will thrive in a front two. So I'd give Wilson the best chance possible to kickstart his time here. It would be a lot better if he had a better player to play off but Vera's the best we've got at that role. We need as many options in form as possible up front and I feel it's a good opportunity to give Wilson a confidence boost that will get him firing.

BP1960 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Which ever combination we use it never looks good. Roll on January when Dino hopefully has a mass clear out and brings in some players who can cope in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as an impact sub coming on with 25 minutes to go. Eagles? In my opinion he is a classy footballer who seems to have been getting his fitness back but, for whatever reason, has not yet featured under Dino. It may be that he gets a start if the manager wants to shake things up. And..this may surprise one or two, we may see Maouche dropped to the bench this weekend. On another note - Whatever Nepomuceno did or said to see him shipped out to Chesterfield, how we could do with him right now. Sheridan seems to be getting them to play and Nepomuceno will have played a big part in that. He is a winger who provides that defensive cover you mention. I’m up for this game and expect a huge response from the team on the pitch. Smith shouldn't be dropped as he was the only one to come off with any credit against Mansfield.

They sliced us open on several occasions and it was their initial poor finishing that meant we were only two down. It should have been four or five. We were so poor. Unbelievably I’ll be going. But I’m not sure why. This has Macc 3-0 written all over it. I genuinely hope not but, like most of our other games we haven’t lost, I can only see us winning through them being even worse than us: not because of anything we have to offer.

Clear out...where to?? paying up the contracts of unwanted players is the only way we’ll get rid of the deadwood. I dread to think of the financial implications caused by Mo’s player recruitment, any other employee would have been long gone by now! 20 decent players has surely got to be more cost effective than 30+ who are predominantly shite!!

I believe with 11 v 11 it would have finished at least 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way should he be replaced with Eagles who hasnt featured and definitely not with Branger coming back having not done much before getting injured. If Eagles and Branger are to come in it has to be for Maoche and Morais (suspended). Id personally go with Harry Bosch that 3-5-2 needs to be implements, as we are inexperienced defensively and have very poor defensive cover from midfield/wings. But at the same time, we need more options forward, as our transition from defence to attack is awful as we have no attacking full backs, and no one in midfield who carries us forward. Hate to say it but we need to resort to lumping it and getting around the strikers for scraps. We don't have the wing backs capable ( or fit enough ) of attacking and defending to play this system. We would be murdered down the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do I'd go for: Woods Mills Hamer Wheater Iacovitti Smith Maouche Missilou Eagles Vera Wilson It's a game where going with 2 up front could give us a big boost. I'd drop Sylla to get Maouche controlling the play from the middle of the park, play Vera because we have no one else who's even close to being a target man, and give Wilson the chance to play in a front two against his former club. Hopefully to prove a point. Having Branger and Azankpo on the bench would be decent options if we're chasing a goal, and Sylla there to come on if we need to kill the game. Macc under Campbell looked surprisingly decent when I saw them earlier on in the season. No idea what their new manager is like but surely the regular late payment of wages will start to take it's toll on a small squad. It's a good opportunity to go for the win imo. I don't think Vera will feature for a while, if again! Was speaking to a mansfield fan on way home last weekend and he said vera threw a massive hissy fit at being subbed. Was kicking the hoardings, threw his shirt and dino was fuming apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as doing what they are supposed to do I cannot think of a worse player getting minutes. Starting him over Wilson? Even if Dino wanted a look at him, assuming there are no videos available, a League match when we’re floating around the bottom of the football league doesn’t seem the place. That said, he probably features because he’s all we have. I genuinely hope he comes good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 We will miss Morais big time on Sat. He's at least been one breath of fresh air since he arrived. Let's face it we are a shit team, with a shittier owner in a shit league, and until we give a manager some time and the opportunity to improve us, we will continue to be shit. A boring 1-1 for me on Sat is the best be can hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting him over Wilson? This is just mental. All three of them have been fucking shit. Vera's had the least game time of the three but scored the most goals for us. And has previously played at by far the highest levels. And had a couple of decent none scoring performances. Wilson has been far and away the worst of the three by any measure you could possibly use. A total and utter empty shirt. Repeatedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
