Sack Tilly? Drop Freddy? All reasonably insane suggestions, but slightly off the mark. Today though, I come to you with a relegation-dodging wheeze so foolproof, it might as well be the lovechild of the Two Harry's- Redknapp and Bassett. The solution, my friends, is to play Frank Moussa. Why, I hear you ask? Because:

1) we've bugger all in the way of other ideas.

2) my footballing strategy weakness is an overwhelming, blind faith in youth- were it up to me, our front-line in the mid 90's would have been Declan Perkins and Jae Martin.

3) people who've seen him a bit say he's quite good.

4) we're a bit sh!t, hence playing quite good players seems like a good idea.

5) He looks if nothing else ridiculously enthusiastic- always jumping in the celebration piccies, flicking the ball around in paroxysms of laughter before games. he might cheer everyone else up a bit.

6) unlike the rest of the squad, he's not had the somewhat depressing run of not having won in the league since 1765. This means he will play without fear, fear of course being our biggest enemy (with the possible exception of pacy strikers, who also have a tendency to do us over. oh, and organisation at setpieces. but you know what i mean).

of course there are questions, includng but not limited to: "where would we play him?" and "isn't it a bit dumb putting an untried 18 year old into a relegation Charge of the Light Brigade?". The answers to these, for the record, are "somewhere in midfield, esp. if Riera is still injured", and "maybe- got any better ideas, smartass?". So, there you have a reasonable and balanced argument- make up your own minds, or better yet just listen to me. word.
 
good call.. i think leaving gower out would be my move of the day... he lost his head completely against col u and as one of the senior pros that just isnt good enough.. when the chips are down we need people like gower, prior and maher to grab the game and drag the players along, instead he just throws away any chance of getting points. leaving gower out would either mean therefore bringing in cole or switching someone... i would be tempted to go for...

left -------------------right


jcr macca riera bradders

with moussa gower and cole on the bench (with probably hunt and hooper)
 
yeah, did ponder the JCR on the left thing myself, if only because it might make him cut inside and get a few shots in. or maybe, in the confusion of not being on his normal position, he'd forget his natural game and cross it early

I dont care if it works or not but this is the first post in ages to make me laugh out loud. So much better than sack this, drop that, relegate the other.

Carry on Sir
