Simply put, the only way Taylor and Easter can play together is if we play 3 up top.
If we go for 2 up top, then we cannot play Taylor and Easter; they are just to similar.
Blissett and Easter for me to start at home to Chester (well, I wouldn't mind a 4-3-3 if I'm honest with all three starting, but if it's two then Taylor for the bench).

Thought we had a Mk2 Devon White but this guy just does not use his physic and strength and height to any good effect. Give the lad a chance. ............... Remember he came from being a part timer to us and still has plenty to learn about the game. .................. Was he? Must have been the only one in a full time squad then

They are similar but I wouldn't say they can't play together. It all depends on if we planning to hoof the ball or not. If we get the ball down and try and play then I don't see why they can't play together.

We went out to not get beat in terrible conditions on a terrible pitch and we did that. It makes sense because on paper it was our toughest remaining game. I'd like to see Taylor and Easter up front again on Friday.

Against two accomplished centre halves with the best home defensive record it conceded the game and we were quite lucky not to lose but the way DC plays we are always going to be "quite lucky not to lose" but also often "quite unlucky not to win". It is that fine a line when you play our tactics. I am amazed that we have won as many as we have and also that we have drawn so many because these tactics should really produce a win one lose one scenario.

I don't claim to be a great tactician but it seems to me that if we're going to resort to lamping it due to poor pitch or whatever then Blissett is the best option because despite his faults (such as looking like he finds standing unusually hard on occasion) he looked more likely to win headers against a tall Macc defence than the diminutive Taylor. He didn't and it amazed me how someone of his stature could fail to win so many headers but logistically it was the correct decision by DC.
Sorry for the uncharacteristically negative post but it was a particularly bad performance.

He won't drop Taylor or Lockyer, Dawson will go and probably change the shape.
EDIT: Balanta... not Dawson. Though I would start Dawson.

When he was signed our manager said he was one for the future and did not want us all getting carried away thinking he was going to be an instant fix for our goal scoring problems. Remember he came from being a part timer to us and still has plenty to learn about the game. He has showed on occasions what he can do and given the right service, something our inferior midfield has failed to do so many times, he I am sure will prove to be a far better player than he appears to be now. Agree with you wysemangas and to add to this his touch is not up to standard (for a team that wants to get out of The Conference) !

Perhaps, but in his previous starts before being dropped he was going into everything half heartedly and wasn't even bothering to jump for some headers. I can see why DC gave him s break. It seemed to have paid off against Macc though as he looked a handful again.

Nice to hear Kiddy's manager say after yesterday's game how much Blissett seems to have improved already in his short time with us.
Said he was a thorn in their side all game and that he wishes Bliss was still in a red shirt.

I've been his biggest critic and I am so pleased to be being proved wrong. His flick for Harrison against Chester was sublime and it looks like he had a brilliant game yesterday. Looked like he couldn't even kick a ball in the few games I saw him recently but it seems a bit of time out of the side has done him good and he has come back in a new player. Long may it continue! Easter has gone from being our saviour to possibly 4th choice striker in matter of 2 weeks! Amazing.

Either Easter's helping them in training or the thought of keeping an ex-Championship player out of the side is motivating them. In a month we've become the Man C of the Conference with 4 strikers to choose from, all looking like they can score.

Remember the fun OTIB had with somebody's off the cuff 'Barcelona of League 2' post.

Still not lost with Blissett starting.....
I know it's just a stat and doesn't tell the whole story, but the lad causes opposition defences all kinds of problems when he's on song. Kiddy also did very well this season when he started. (P13, W5, D5, L3 Pts20)

I honestly wouldn't care which combination of our 4 strikers DC put out, I believe we would win on Saturday with any.

It's not stats, it's not fate, DC just picks a team to win OR worse case scenario, draw. In DC we trust. UTG!
