Won't happen but post woods goal making (thought i might be the only one voting for him!) and the lack of players plus the commentary related how to get the most out of pebble... I'm going with this.. which is a pretty solid team with attacking width with strong full backs offering defensive cover and attacking support, connection from defence to attack, plenty of attacking support and creativity around the box. I'd love to see this happen and maybe Maher can still employ similar tactics but have more attacking people forward.


Colin

Gus. Taylor. Crowther. Ralph


Miley. Appiah Forson


Woods. Moncur. Bridge


Pebble

Subs
Hilson
Gubbins
Wind
Morton
Noor
Coker
Waldron if fit

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

I'd go for

Collin
Taylor Crowther Ralph
Gus Appiah *Miley Husin Bridge
Moncur
Pepple

*Morton in for Miley if he is injured.

We have a history under Maher of getting results against adversity. Let tomorrow be no different!

Probably more this

Anyone still spelling Collin with one L should be pushed off the end of the pier at high tide.

Just arrived Lythm st Anne’s. Very nice!!

Just setting off now
Come on you Shrimpers

Same as Wood with an 's' on the end.

 

[Barling Magna]

Whatever the result this afternoon I hope that Bim Pepple scores a goal to set him off on the way to 15 to 20 goals this season.

likewise ‘Moreton’ when it’s Morton

Team selection will be really interesting over the next few games. We've operated with a small settled squad for a couple of years and have stuck religiously to a 5-3-2 where everyone knows their role, and also knows other people's roles too in case they need to step in.
But we've seen more personnel changes in recent weeks than we have in a long while and key players in that formation - Kensdale was particularly suited to it - are now not available. Will we stick with 3-5-2 and slot players in, or will we look at what we have available and go down a different route? For instance I think Crowther and Gubbins would be a strong centre half pairing at this level. I also wonder if GSM would work playing slightly further forwards.

They won't change anything today as they've been presumably training a 3-5-2 all week, so:
Collin
GSM, Taylor, Crowther, Ralph, Bridge
Wood, Morton (if Miley not fit), Husin
Moncur, Pepple

But how's about:
Collin
Taylor, Crowther, Gubbins, Ralph
GSM, Morton, Husin
Wood, Pepple, Moncur

Unless preceded by an apostrophe and followed by goal

 

[Piledriver]

Husin is fitter than Moncur.

Is Bridge injured?

Has MacDonald’s registration been sorted yet?

All good questions only kev and Co know the answers tbh, on Husin they said they would bring him back slowly so there is that though! re Bridge he may not be injured now, but in my opinion hasn't really delivered , could it be a disrupted pre season for him, so may not be fully match fit.

Missed the bloody coach
Had taxi booked for 7am to take me to the ground and it didn’t turn up
Come on you Blue boys hope the new lads have a good game.

 

[amsemp]

Collin
Taylor, Crowther, Ralph
GSM, Husin, Miley, Morton, Bridge
Moncur
Pepple
​

KAF on the bench given his limited time with the squad I reckon, unless Miley is injured.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Bad news, the Tom Lawrence express, Euston 10.18 departure, has lost power

 

[Hooly]

Not verified but my mate says he's just seen Coker out shopping - on crutches and wearing a heavy leg brace

That's the same as I heard from a guy at work. His son is a good mate of Oli's as they grew up together. He saw him in the week wearing a protective boot & he said he's going for a scan. Didn’t sound that good.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Don’t know how many Shrimpers are on this train, but we’re all going to be late for kickoff

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Is the players train late?

 

[Barling Magna]

Don’t know how many Shrimpers are on this train, but we’re all going to be late for kickoff

Ruddy Hell, that's bad luck.
