Would it be worth a try playing Matt Taylor in the hole behind two strikers as the link player , he seams to do a lot of running and beat players but up top has no end product . So could work well a bit like disley did .

Hmmm... Who would you leave out? Would you still play 4 at the back, or what formation ?

No, best to just drop Matty Taylor. He's had a good run in the team and hasn't delivered where it maters.
Others should get the same chance he's had.

Think he might need a spell out of the limelight.
I really like the bloke. If he had a good finishing game there's no way in hell he'd be in the conference, but unfortunately, as a striker, you cannot warrant him being in the team when he's missing chances. He'll get his chance later on in the season, but as of now Ellis should probably start.

Goslin was not in game always wants to come inside so you lose the winger role in him . It's just a different option to try get more goals ,

So Sinclair on the right, with Mansell and Martin as a midfield 3 , with Taylor playing in front of them, behind 2 strikers?

i think matty taylor has been fantastic for us but it hasnt quite happened for him in front of goal,i think harrison will start on tuesday maybe for matty? i dont think an out and out channel runner like matty is suited to playing behind the front 2,,
i cant knock a player who has run his heart out and has been great to watch,i still think he could have a goal run,maybe leaving him on the bench could work goal wise?

jake gosling is without doubt: a. the quickest player we have (along with Harrison) b. the best finisher we have (along with Harrison) c. the most skilfull player we have (along with Harrison) why not try jake up front (along with Harrison)

I'd put Taylor on the right wing, similar to what we did with Cureton.

We don't have enough creativity in the side to play two quick players with no physical presence. We need Cunnington to play because he holds the balls up and competes physically with big defenders. No one in the midfield carries the ball forward with coonfidence and slides passes through.

I'd put Taylor out wide and bring Ellis in up front

Yeah, agree someone else deserves a run, the last god knows how many seasons we've not had a goal scorer, Hoskins being the last real one in my opinion.
Personally, i would have liked to see Ryan given a run before he went out on loan, he seems fit, we've seen he can be a very good player and i really like the lads attitude, sadly i don't think his face fits with Darrell, that's not an attack on DC, its just my thoughts. I hope that similar to Ellis he gets another chance to prove himself. I think DC likes to stamp his authority now and again and this can go one way or another depending on the player and the circumstances. As a lot of managers DC has what i loosely call "his favorites". But since Braintree i think Marcus and to some extent Yatesy have put some input into these things which has helped our turnaround in form/results. It was a major concern of mine earlier in the season and it appears to be a management "team" more now.
That's just my thoughts though. Either way we must get the scoring figures up or we will definitely miss out this season (again). The other one of course is young Jamie who quickly scored 5 goals at WSM, i asked DC about him and he didn't fill me with any confidence that he'll get Jamie back soon. but of course he is still young and maybe requires some physical match experience.

Football's so mental for how the same fans can see things so differently, for me Gosling is our best ball player and Monkhouse is dire! - wouldn't have him in the dog and duck 11 let alone the famous quarters.

IMO Taylor's work rate goes against him as he's all over the pitch and often playing too deep already to get goals. For me, for his size, he should be a goal poacher and should stay in the box and grab the tap ins.

In all truth, the goal scorer we need is not with us at present. I like Taylor who does a lot of good running, but no end product. I like EH, as an impact sub. Didn't think much of him at Eastleigh, or when he came on Saturday. He loses the ball and stops.
Jamie White doesn't look likely either. I am sure DC has his favourites, as he showed Saturday when we played against a big stocky side and yet he takes Cunnington off and leaves MT on. Sorry DC you were wrong to do that.
NH must realise that if we don't go up this season, the full loss of league funding hits next season, and that amounts to £750 k per annum. It has got to be more sensible to go for it and invest £2-300,000 on a front pair to give us a far better chance of going up.
Saturday was a case in point. We should have been up at least 3-1 on chances by the time Dover got their leveller. That is two more points given away. They would have had us joint second. The problem is I don't think NH has the confidence in DC to trust him to spend that money on decent strikers. After all he brought in MT and JW, and neither are doing it.

The strangest thing is that these strikers HAVE scored goals at this level but IMO that does not mean that you stick with them for 14 games in hope rather than certainty. I feel Clarke should be saying to Matty that he does NOT want to see him running all over the place but staying up top on the last defender with Cunnington somewhere NEAR him. The midfield players and defenders also need to take some pace off of their passing as we are not often finding our players and too often the ball runs out of play particularly down our right side. In truth at the moment we lack three players- a right winger, a creative midfield player and a striker and in truth Clarke has not provided the right player for any of these positions and neither has a Rovers Manager in the last five years. In fairness to Clarke we have made a solid start and his Manager of the Month was well deserved but our goalscoring is holding us back and must be quickly remedied.

I got to be honest, I think Taylor has done well on the most part this season. I do think both strikers were poor Saturday though and I'm a fan of them both. It's worrying that White isn't get many minutes, that tells you a lot about his attitude I think.
