Slocombe (think he's a calmer influence than smith and more steady)
Sinclair - RWB (fed up with leads crossing)
Broadbent
Sweeney
Partington (Lockyer needs to be dropped and I'd like to see a back three to get a clean sheet)
Bola -LWB (Browns pace is troubling)
Clarke
Lines
Sercombe
Bodin (only bloke with a goal threat)
Gaffney (don't rate Ellis)

I honestly believe this tweak could provide results with Telford on the bench to provide impact when needed.

Sinclair is not good enough. You are just finding a place for him. We just need to play a forward game and pressurise in numbers like Peterborough did. If you watched both sides yesterday our strikers spend all their time and energy chasing four players around and therefore are never in their position. The Peterborough team rarely left their selected position as their entire team pressurised and played like the home team. it was the same when we played them away last season.
We have become boring and predictable and lack quality.

We have become boring and predictable and lack quality. You say pressurise in numbers but Sinclair is one of the only players that has actually been doing that! Yes he lacks in quality but we need to do the basics of pressurising and higher tempo to our play. I agree with the last sentence though. |

We have become boring and predictable and lack quality. We disagree re Sinclair but I'm not sure James Clarkes good enough for this level and with me wanting to drop leads and partington at CB it left me with little option but to use the utility man. I think he'd do a great job there myself! |

I'm hoping for 2 or 3 new signings before this game. They spanked us 3-0 last season with a much worse team on paper.

Slocombe Not convinced about Smith Leadbitter I still think still think his pace is a massive bonus for us Broadbent Deserve another start Sweeney He would be my undroppable in this team Bola Like to see him start Bodin No brainier will always start for me Sercombe Drives the team forward O. Clarke To sit in L. W Need to sign an experienced left winger before Sat. Gaffney surprised he havnt started a match yet Nicholls or Telford don't think OC a great lover of a strapping 6ft plus target man my opinion Lockyer, Lines Brown Sinclair all needs a spell on the bench, with the latter to be made more of an impact player regularly this season

Two disappointing performances and results - it would be easy to make wholesale changes - and maybe they are needed.
I got the feeling that DC was angry about how the whole team played rather than individuals, so I think he's going to address that and give the players 1 more game to put it right.
The jury is still out on Smith in goal - but I doubt he's Lumley's level from the 2 games Ive seen. Maybe Slocombe will be given a chance soon.
I do however feel that Bola should be given a chance soon in favour of Brown if his game doesn't move up. I'm also concerned about Lockyer and Sweeney - both were shaky v Cambridge and then even worse v Posh - they both aren't the quickest either. Leadbitter needs a rocket too or I'd be tempted to put Partington in if no improvement after Bury.
We have to address the left side - it's not fair on Sinclair, who gets wrongly criticised "as not good enough" having to plug that gap. Moore is obviously not really favoured by DC ( I don't rate him either - he's a "pass the buck sort of player" for all his nice touches, so he has to get a new player in asap !
Finally, the one definite change I'd make for Bury is Gaffney in to replace Harrison. Gaffney is a more consistent player and has better technique. You can't really forgive that miss by Ellis yesterday. It just sums up his lack of quality. Ellis I thought was going to be the back up striker this season - where he can ruffle defences and chip in with a few goals if brought on late in games.
We have a tough start to the season on paper - DC and players have to pull fingers out -but we need that Left midfielder badly !!

I thought Brown was just about our least worst player yesterday.
Although, that may well be because Peterborough could see that Leadbitter was there for the taking, so didn`t bother too much with the right flank.

He is just so slow on the ball and we are predictable as a team. Attacking it maybe but I would love to see Leads and Bola either side as fullbacks for a game or two. I can definitely see them both as wingbacks at some point. |

Not sure what DC's planning with Slocombe & Lines together in the middle as neither can make a decent tackle, hence why we improved yesterday once Sincs came into the middle, either him or OC will also have to play in the middle if DC's going to play Slocombe & Lines together. The left wing slot is a problem but what money DC still has available will determine who and when he can bring a replacement in for Monty. As far as Gaffers & Ellis I don't really see why there's such a big debate as neither's really good enough so we just have to support whoever DC picks.
Personally I'd give our defenders one more chance as I'm not certain Partington & co are really going to be an better, although I guess if they never get a chance we'll never know!

You don't see why there is a debate but admit neither is good enough. Umm maybe we want someone better?!?! And maybe we agree Gaffney is the far better option ut of he two right now?! |

Do you think slocombe would wear gloves in midfield and would be able to catch the ball |

Smith/ Slocombe - Smith didn't do much wrong. tried to punch a ball he could have caught but apart from that looked good. Slocombe is good on reputation. DC wok have a job to keep both happy. If personally let Slocombe play in all the cup games if Smith is the first choice for league at the moment.
Defenders
RB) Leabitter - good player there, off day yesterday perhaps feeling his injury still.
CB) Sweeney - Wash brilliant yesterday but he can't carry the rest at such a young age.
CB) Lockyer - think the captain role isn't for him really, good defender needs to focus on that.
LB) Bola/Partington - Both unknown but just to mix it up a bit
Midfield
RM) Bodin - Best player in the side. Most dangerous from out wide as he can run with the ball and cut in.
CM) Ollie Clarke - Impressed last season
CM) Sercombe - Played some clever football, making intelligent passes.
LM) Don't know really - We need a winger.
Forwards
Nichols - Not a strong player, but looked good on the ball and got in the right places to take a shot.
Gaffeney or Telford - Gaffeney is better player than Harrison. Telford reminds me of the snake from what over seem on internet, and Stoke seem rate him quite highly.
