Ellis back to the bench? Yes or no?
I think Ellis has been a vital part of our run to the top of the league, but as Solskjaer used to for Man utd, he is best used from the bench. Yes he has bought us many points with his vital goals but he must be saved as an impact sub.

I think Mildenhall is more the man we need to look at. He's made a few mistakes now when Puddy did nothing to be dropped in the first place.

On balance, I would drop Mildenhall. Give Puddy a game. Ellis was a bright spark in an otherwise terrible performance today. He has earnt his place in the team for me - as has Balanta.

I doubt he would let the ball roll through his legs, our punch it into his own net

Yes he has bought us many points with his vital goals but he must be saved as an impact sub. I would always start with Blissett because, whether he is playing well or badly, he always gives the opposing defenders a tough start to the game. I think they have subconsciously let their standards drop in relief when Ellis replaces Bliss and by the time they have realised what they have done Ellis has got goal side of them and is slotting in the winner.

I doubt he would let the ball roll through his legs, our punch it into his own net Mildy also made two blinding saves, but the 1st goal was a shocker from his point of view.

I'm sure Ellis will take the fall for that shower of sh**e yesterday if that's what you mean.
The change I'd like to see would be Clark and Balanta in the middle.

Ellis is a better player than Blisset but like I said earlier in the week, I would have kept Harrison on the bench. You don't fix what ain't broken and we had just won four on the bounce. Blis would also start because at this level you need someone like him up front. I haven't bern that impressed with him and I certainly haven't seen his pace that people keep talking about but he's a handfull and we missed that yesterday until he came on. I

Puddy did nothing to be dropped. because Puddy did nothing. When he was in the team,I don't remember him having to make a save. Keepers make mistakes and you don't get away with them. Other people have cost us far more points than Mildenhall.He is our number 1 keeper.

And yes we do massively miss sinclair, scrapping wins by the odd goal without him has been great but a defeat was on the cards the way we've been playing without him.

I I always get the impression with Blissett he never knows where the ball is. Like yesterday he was going up for flick ons and it looked like he knew he expected the ball to hit his head at some point but he just wasn't sure when.

Steeeeeeve Milllldenhallll is a useless waster, I'd rather have Matty Taylor in goal

On a serious note, Elis is third choice behind Bliss and Taylor for me, he's not matured yet

Thoughts on the keeper situation: Puddy didn't deserve to be dropped in the first place. Whatever, that's gone now and Mildy is back between the sticks. He's made a few errors, ok it happens to every keeper every season - not too big an issue. The bigger issue here is the distribution. Mistakes will happen with Mildy or Puddy in goal, they are both adequate for this level and over a course of a season will probably save and give away a similar number of points in terms of saves and mistakes. But distribution has a much more crucial but less obvious influence. And for this reason i'd be tempted to put Puddy back in because Mildy cant distribute the ball well at all.
However, our issues yesterday, and all season have been nothing to do with the keeper, it's been our midfield and strikers.
On to Blissett/Harrison: Harrison deserves a run of games. He was probably our best player yesterday and always looked lively. I'd put Easter ahead of him when fit, but for now Harrison all day long. I may get a bit of stick for saying this, but I genuinely feel Blissett is probably one of the 2 or 3 worst players I have ever seen play for us footballing ability wise. His ONLY attribute is that he puts himself about a bit and defenders don't like it. But these players should be 10 a penny at this level and why we are paying money for these type of players I have no idea. Hope to be proved wrong but especially if we do get promoted, there can't be a place for him in league 2!
For me at the moment there is a very clear hierarchy of strikers - Taylor, Harrison, Blissett. Easter probably slots in either side of Taylor in that list when fit without kicking a ball in anger which tells a story!
Balanta needs to start as well, he looked good when he came on yesterday. Put him in the middle with Mansell and i'd also drop Monkhouse for Gosling. If Monkhouse plays i'd rather see him in midfield because he does get stuck in, has a bit of ability and attack mindedness and adds height to the midfield. Much better option than Lockyer or Clarke there imo.

I think our new signing will start in midfield next week. Just a hunch.....!
Balanta done nothing yet to demand a start. Ellis better coming on from the bench. Need to find room for Easter. Tom or Dan at RB??
