Tactics for Thursday

[Keith]

secondly and this might sound utterly mad, but injuries aside, I'd be inclined to start on thursday with exactly the same team as sunday..

You'd start with two defenders playing in midfield for the second game on the trot? Why would that possibly sound "utterly mad"? Now here's a line up that can play the ball long or on the deck!

__________________Barry________________
Parish______Jimbo_______Artell_____Wilson
_____Hunter__Stanners___Drummond___
________________Jevons_________________
_________Curtis_________Mullin_________

Panther if Stanners not fit. Tell Jevons to run himself in to the ground then replace him with Duffy. Not a hope of a clean sheet but we might actually get a few shots on target!

Sammy's not going to go gung ho. In his interviews he believes the tie has gone, and we're only playing for pride. He wants to win this game, and restore that bit of pride. If we do that, then we've partially erased Sunday's memory even if we don't get to Wembley. And let's face it, would you rather be hammered and know you were second best, or miss out on Wembley on penalties or something?

he should say something to the effect of:

sunday you let the club down, you let the fans down, but most of all you let yourselves down. .

Shirley that's just a straight rip-off of what the inflatable headmaster of St Helium's Inflatable School said to the inflatable twins when they took their pet hedgehog in to 'show and tell'!?

I think we would restore more pride if we got beat going for it rather than keeping things tight and winning by a single goal. If the players struggle to walk off the pitch due to the effort they've put in over 90 minutes then pride has been restored in my opinion, even if we were to get thrashed again.

It's difficult to know how D&R will approach the game. No doubt they will be full of confidence and the pressure is off but they may rest big names to protect them from injury.

I think Sammy's going to look for options. We play the ball best on the deck, and then put in some decent crosses. Here's where I'd go:

-----------------Mullin-----Jevons---------
Wainright----Drummond------Hunter-----Duffy
Wilson---------Haining------Artell----Parrish
----------------------Roche----------------

We can then play the ball to feet, with options for crosses form wainy with wilson overlapping, and then duffy from the right, with Bambi overlapping. They can also nip inside and have a shot too. I just think that would give us some much needed attacking options from accross the field.

N.B. I don't think Stanners or Jim will be fully fit.
