With some fringe players staking a real claim, especially in defence, what would be your starting line-up vs Crawley? Lots of options for me....
-------------------Belshaw
------------Taylor Kilgour Anderton
Anderson -----Finley Grant----- Saunders
--------Nicholson ------Spence
-------------------Pitman
Harries, Rodman, Collins could be easily swapped in though

So I would have Collins ahead of him and think he will still be behind Thomas as well. I think he will put Hughes back in, instead of Kilgour. I think Harries played better than Kilgour last night, who struggled at times, especially early on. Like you say, it’s good to have options!!! Even Anssi will come back into contention, if he’s fit and Ward had a good game last night. Impressed with Wards kicking, as well as his all round game. Got good distance in his kicks. Only player’s I would say have to start are Taylor, Finley, Grant and Anderson after the last two games. Can argue a case for and against a lot of the squad. |

Good point, had forgotten Thomas! yeah I think Hughes will come back in, just worry about his pace. Hopefully competition all over the part works wonders! |

Thought I put Nicholson as well😂. Yes he has to start when he’s fit. |

Anssi will be away on International duty won't he? Don’t know if he was called up as he’s been injured. Unless the club just have not put anything. |

Coutts will need to work hard to regain his place
Thomas/Clarke/Saunders to replace tires legs after 60 mins when 3-0 up

Anssi will be away on International duty won't he? Does not appear to be. Was not in the friendly squad with Wales earlier tonight. Injured was the last JB said about him two weeks ago. |

Probably see Tony Craig the weekend.
Tom Nichols has been injured as has Sam Matthews so they may not be at the Mem.

Anssi will be away on International duty won't he? Does not appear to be. Was not in the friendly squad with Wales earlier tonight. Injured was the last JB said about him two weeks ago. Update from JB to Frosty after the match last night - Anssi Jaakkola, is his Achilles still playing up a little bit or is he going to be okay for Saturday? He just has a flare up every now and again. Obviously we’ve got to protect him, it isn’t major but he will need a couple of weeks to settle that otherwise he’s going to miss a longer period of time. So, it’s frustrating because he actually said he felt the best he’d felt in years and then he just slipped in training. His studs slipped on the turf and he just felt a little tweak. When we got it scanned everything was fine, so we’re just waiting for the inflammation to go down. You can imagine when you’d had a number of injuries in a similar spot, the mental side of that is something that probably plays in the back of Anssi’s mind. But we’ve got a fantastic physio in Stuart Leake and they’ll work him on a different kind of strength programme than than what he’s been on before. We think that the prognosis long term will be a lot better for him and then hopefully that’ll settle him and get him on the pitch and in our team more consistently. |

3-4-2-1 BELSHAW TAYLOR HUGHES HARRIES RODDERS GRANT FINLAY ANDERSON COLLINS NICHOLSON PITMAN I think we will stick with 3 at the back, we don’t really have a recognised right back apart from Hoole Coutts will need to work hard to regain his place Thomas/Clarke/Saunders to replace tires legs after 60 mins when 3-0 up UTG Largely agree with this apart from I need a lot more convincing with Harries. I wouldn't have pegged him as one of the only survivors from last season. What are your thoughts on Hoole? I thought he was decent for the first couple of games but he seems to have slipped off the radar. Although he needs experience around him as his communication wasn't great. I get managing a young lad but I'd be frustrated to see centre backs being played ahead of me on the right if I was in his boots. From what I saw he could do a job as a wing back too. |

Barton suggested Hoole is or has been injured according to Evening Post |
