[Hunting 784561]

Need to put a strong attacking team out to get our confidence levels back up .

 

[SE4 GULL]

Not too much tinkering, Elphick should get the nod ahead of Dunk as with El Abd's injury we need them to build a solid partnership at the back.


.................. Brezovan .................

Calderon ... Elphick .. Greer ... Painter

Bennett .. Dicker .. Bridcutt .. Smith

............. Murray .. Wood .............

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I think we need to win this game at the first time of asking, we need to get the wins rolling again.

Ankergren, Calderon, Dunk, Greer, Painter, Bennett, Bridcutt, Dicker, Smith, Wood (if not available, Battipiedi), Murray.

I think that team would be balanced, and be too strong for tosh opposition.

 

[Acker79]

Will Wood be available or cup tied?

Battipiedi up front if Wood is unavailable?

Did you mean Baz?

Will Wood be available or cup tied?

It said in the article when we signed him that he would be available for the cup.

EDIT
Article on West Brom site - suggests he will be available, but doesn't actually confirm

That looks a great starting line-up to me with Elphick ahead of Dunk purely because I think he desperately needs his confidence building after being dropped and then having a run of relatively shaky performances when called on. Wood was tiring last night by the time Murray came on - it will be interesting to see them start in partnership - we could do with getting a couple of goals clear to remind ourselves what it's like

Brez

Calderon, Elf, Dunk, Tarrico

Bennett, Bridcutt (holding), Smith, Baz

Murray, Wood (Barnes if cup-tied)

Isn't Tarrico still banned?

 

[Rookie]

Would really like to give Calderon the day off but who else can play right back? Kish needs a rest and Greer should be no where near the pitch just in case the worst did happen. Would start Bridcut and Smith.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Brez
Calderon
Dunk
Elphick
Taricco
Baz
Sparrow
Bridcutt
Smith
Barnes
Wood/Muzza

Would be nice to see Agdestein get a run out aswell.

 

[WhingForPresident]

There is no point putting Bennett or Greer on from the start against a pub team with the injury concerns we already have..If one of those two goes and breaks their leg, we're buggered.

This would be my team without a doubt, although I wouldn't have a problem with Dunk replacing Greer if he needs a rest. We have to play Smith as, apart from Bennett in the absence of LuaLua or a new winger, he is the only player who gives us real impetus from midfield.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Tarrico only had a one match ban for two yellows - was on the bench last night.

 

[BensGrandad]

Brezovan

Bridcutt
Elphick
Dunk
Painter

Bennett
Dicker
Sparrow
Smith

Murray
Barnes

Bridcut has played right back during his career so this would give Calderon a rest and also allow us to push forward if the game permits with playing a back 3 with Bridcut just in front of them or flat back 4 as required.

.................. James .................

MacFarlane ... Vickers .. Sherriff ... Bolwell

Shonk .. Hayward .. Strong .. Redwood

............. Hider .. Woodley .............

Subs
Godfrey, Tuck, Cooper, Cumming-Bart, Goodwin.

Deffo start Hayward over Cumming-Bart. Wouldn't want them to think we're not taking the game seriously.
