It better be the first team.

Eastwood's out. He knackered himself getting out the chair.

My XI

Smith
Clohessy Phillips Cresswell Barker
Hurst Laird Timlin Martin
Tomlin Benyon

Subs - Bentley, Prosser?, Straker, Woodyard, Leonard?, Clarke Johnson-Harris, BBBC


I hope Prosser's fit, as may need him to enable Cresswell up front.
 
Wouldl leave those recovering from injury out and give them a few more days to get a bit fitter, so


Smith
Clohessy Cresswell Barker Straker
Laird Paxman Woodyatt
Hurst Martin
Tomlin
 
Clarke harris surely deserve a start ahead of benyon?

Clarke-Harris deserves very little from the glimpses I've seen of him so far. Missed an open goal on his debut, a disgraceful dive last time I saw him and hasn't shown anything yet to suggest he's a team player. He needs to impress in his cameos from the bench before he's handed a start. I didn't see the ESC though. I'm not saying he can't be good, just that he hasn't earnt the right to any more than a late sub appearance.

Benyon is nowhere near as bad as everyone makes out. He may not have been particularly effective, but can at least do the basics which is more than a lot of players we've had up front over the years. He'd have been a relative star in the Alvin Martin era. Sadly his time at Roots Hall is up because the boo-boys have decided.

Had a good game against ramblers and scored twice. Play him up front I say
 
If nothing else it showed appalling decision-making.

It looked to me as if he got in the area and then had no idea what to do.

Yeah I agree. I can't stand diving in the game but that dive has got the be one of the worst I've seen as I don't think there was even a touch on him, he just fell over. Ref should have booked him for it.
 
Must be the strongest Team possible as we need the income and I understand that we have budgeted on reaching the second round.
