Team For Saturday

[Cliff Pavilion]

Anyone care to hazard a guess at this stage?!

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Well, the midfield will probably be Black / McCormack / Bailey / Gower and Flavs will be in goal.

That's pretty much all we can assume at the moment! :p

 

[Jam_Man]

Dont even know who is going to be here:

Flavs
Francis
Mulgrew
Barrett
Clarke
Gower
Black
McCormack
Bailey
Barnard
McDonald

Revell to start on the bench.

 

[rowhst101rhall]

Flavs

Francis Clarke Barrett Grant

Black McCormack Bailey Gower

Revell Barnard

my guestimate at the starting line up at this moment in time.

 

[Kenny]

Strange what a difference a week makes.

Prior to the Barnsley game the team & subs picked itself and Tilson was talking about "bare bones" - I wouldn't like to guess the 16 for Saturday!

 

[Andy_S]

You can't really guess until sometime tomorrow morning.

I'd be very surprised if Grant played left back though.

 

[fredheim_holm]

Flavs

Francis Clarke Barrett Mulgrew

Black McCormack Bailey Gower

Barnard MacDonald

subs: Collis, Hunt, Revell, Maher, Mooos​

That's what I want, not sure if that'll happen.

 

[rowhst101rhall]

Now insert Mulgrew at left back from my earlier starting 11.


until the next signing that is. lol

 

[Medway Blue]

Flavs

Francis Clarke Barrett Mulgrew

Black McCormack Bailey Gower

Barnard MacDonald

subs: Collis, Hunt, Revell, Maher, Mooos​

That's what I want, not sure if that'll happen.

I reckon Hunt will be replaced by Grant and Moose by Robson-Kanu.

As someone said, this is all unpredictable now. A week ago the team picked itself. Tilly has done an amazing job and this is our best transfer window IMO.

Still nothing from him on the website, which suggests to me that he's still busy! We may see some more movemnet before midnight.....

Agree! Same as Leeds, except Hammell obviously

A very good transfer window agreed, but the centre back situation is still needing rectification. If we get that then I'm trully in dream world.

Mulgrew can at least play centre-back apparently, so that at least gives us another (and taller) option there if required. looks like we'll be trying to muddle through with Clarke and Barrett for the time being though.

 

[Tilly N Brush]

Flavs
Hunt Barrett Clarke Mulgrew
Francis/Black Bailey Macca Gower
Barnard Mcdonald

SUBS: Collis,Kanu,Maher,Revell,Francis/Black,

 

[Smiffy]

Flavs

Franny, Clarke, Barrett, Mulgrew

Scannell, Bailey, Macca, Gower

Revell, Barnard


Collis
Grant
Black
Kanu
Macdonald

 

[Mr Gilbo]

I expect that it will be the team that beat leeds with Mulgrew replacing Hamell.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Flahavan
Francis Clarke Barrett Mulgrew
Black McCormack Bailey Gower
Barnard MacDonald

Subs Collis, Hunt, Maher, Scannell and Revell.

No place in the squad for Robson-Kanu or Grant. I don't really understand why we have signed them.

 

[Medway Blue]

Flahavan
Francis Clarke Barrett Mulgrew
Black McCormack Bailey Gower
Barnard MacDonald

Subs Collis, Hunt, Maher, Scannell and Revell.

No place in the squad for Robson-Kanu or Grant. I don't really understand why we have signed them.

I'm not saying that I agree with it, but given his lack of starting or even coming on as a sub in any of our previous games, I wonder whether Maher's time is coming to an end and Grant is being looked at as a long-term replacement (he won't get in the Chelsea squad, so permanent deal at the end of the season if he impresses?) Controversial statement I know, but I love Kev and I'm not saying I agree if that was to be the course of action.

Both Grant and Robson-Kanu are very talented young prospects and will improve our team no end, IMHO.

I think Tilly needs as many viable options on the bench as possible, so I wouldn't name a second goalkeeper on the bench. I know people will say that sod's law will come and bite us on the @rse, like it did against Boston when The Cat had to go in goal, but really, how often does that happen? I don't agree with that view.

So, bar Mulgrew in for Hammell, same starting line-up as Leeds, with a bench as follows:

Liptak (need cover for if AB or Clarkey go off the rails and have a nightmare, which can happen in an instant. Either Francis OR Hunt in the match day squad. I don't mind which one), Grant/Maher, Robson-Kanu, Scannell, Revell

I can do Grant...

McCormack 9 yellows 2 red
Maher (astonishingly only) 3 yellows 0 red
Bailey 7 yellows 1 red

{Grant 2 yellow 1 red (in 5 apps!)}

So where does that leave Maher and Moussa?

So where does that leave Maher and Moussa?

Wouldn't surprise me to see Moussa go out on loan as this seriously affects his position in the pecking order. It's going to be interesting to see who Tilly picks on Saturday, don't think he's ever had such a wide choice!

I would have thought that the team will basically be the same as started against Leeds, with Mulgrew in for Hammell, possibly Revell up front. It's the bench where there's going to be huge changes. I would expect Hunt and Collis to be there, probably Grant, don't really know about the other two - Maher and Kanu or Scannell?
