1 up top at home isnt going to go down well with those opposed to Kev at mo...

Moncs and KAF behind Bonne I guess? Don't see who in that squad would play LWB other than Bridge.
I would agree it looks overly defensive to me and if it must be 1 up top I would of preferred Pepple.

I usually regret saying these things BUT, for me, that looks a good set up/side to start safe with, get some confidence in and then have some good subs to use.

It could be to counteract the Gateshead passing game. Flood the midfield a little.
Hopefully it Morton sitting in front of the back four with Moncur. Husin, KAF sitting behind Bonne.

Very surprised and a bit disappointed in that selection to be honest.
However in KM I have trust.

Not to me, it shows them far to much respect and is very negative for a home team and they also have subs to use.

On the plus side it's unlikely their scouting / pre match reports would reflect this line up / formation. So will be unknown to them as well as to us!

That gives us 2 strikers on the bench - presumably Walker will be limited to a shorter appearance than Pepple.

Looks like protecting a make shift back line with numbers rather than protecting them by keeping the ball up the other end. We’ll see. Hopefully works out or the post match thread will be x certificate.

Gateshead could overrun a side that goes gung-ho.
I think Kev's hand is forced by circs.
As for Pepple on his own? Hmmm...not sure how that would work.
He's not the best header of a ball on the evidence thus far; and if he's quick; he's yet to show it!
Taylor was never going to make it, and bearing in mind it's Maidenhead after this, KM may well give him a pass for that one too.
