Back windows, cycle path. Front windows, main stand and away end.

Roche

Artell, Bentley, Adams

Wainwright Wilson

Panther, Craney

Duffy

Mullin Twiss/Jevons


Could work.

I'm trying to find space for Duffy in a free role which I thought he did well in pre-season. Without the likes of him and Wainwright we may be quite solid (as we were with Drummy in there at Chesterfield) but - apart from Wilson - lack much ability to go past our markers and create lots of chances.

why isn't Stanners in anyones He is immence.

I think he might getting pushed out of the first 11 because of the new players. Here's my line up:
Roche
Moss Bentley Haining Adams Wilson
Duffy Panther Craney
Mullin
Jevons

Stanners is better than duffy any day So there.

does anyone know how long haining is actually out for??

Stanley and duffy can't be compared, completely different styles of play and they play in different positions. If I had to pick on in the free role behind the strikers (neither stanleys or duffys natural position) i would definately pick duffy for his pace and creativity.

Nice! Personally I'd play Twissy instead of Jevons. Sammy's finally woken up to the benefits of Twissy as an out-and-out front man.

I disagree. We may have bought him as a winger but, at this level, I don't think he has the pace over more than ten yards to succeed there. What he has got is quick feet and the skill to unlock a defence prome precisely that position - just behind a front man or two.

I think that IS his natural position and he's shown his best stuff for us when he's played there (IMO) given a free role. The only thing is, Craney does well there also.

It may be that Duffy has to really fight for a place now, otherwise he'll be used off the bench.

Red Shrimp has it bang on - its just a case of how you set that 11 up - I'd play 4-1-3-2 with Panther in front of a flat back four, Craney, Duffy and Twiss helping Panther when we don't have the ball and pushing on to support Jevons and Mullins up front when we do- if Jim and Will form a partnership and we become more solid at the I think we could really cause teams problems with that line up - IMO this is the best Shrimps side I have ever seen and I still think we will be in the mix for the play offs - couple of wins - even lucky ones and the confidence will bring belief and this team is good enough to give Morecambe thier highest ever league finish - bring it on

He was reportedly out for 6 weeks after the Burton game 2 weeks ago. I suspect however with a couple of rubdowns from his Mrs. he will soon perk up!
