Tactics for Thursday

[Christies Child]

No point in defending this one .

Might as well go out and just attack from the off.

If we loose 2-3 it really doesn't matter.

Therefore for me it has to be 4 2 4

Drummy and Panther in midfield with Neil W, Mullers, PJ and Gaz / Wayne up top.

No place for Duffy this time.

I just hope that Sammy tells 'em 'to go for it'

this is a team id pick to play decent passing football on the deck with plenty of width


------------Roche
-----Haining Bentley Artell
Hunter Drummond Panther Wilson
---Wainwright-Jevons Duffy



ive deliberately kept Mullin & Curtis out as i dont want the players to take the easy option by hoofing the ball for 90mins playing route one football where you just lose the ball and put yourselves back under pressure

[mfcbro]

What a good supporter you are c.c. is it right you walked out of the pub with 20 mins to go and then have the nerve to critise the players for their performance.Shame on you.

[mfcbro]

Never heard of 4-2-4 formation it must be played in the leagues above ours.I would go 4-3-3

I don't think the players hoof it because Mullin is in the team. We just panic when we get closed down and hoof it upfield. Of course we know all too well that when we do this, the opposition pick it back up and reapply the pressure.

I hope Stanners is available for this one. He can't pick a forward pass or put in a great covering tackle but his passing is very crisp and he always gets in the thick of things, making interceptions before playing the ball out wide and out of trouble - which gives the recipient the chance to look up and think about what he's going to do with the ball.

[heysham_mfc]

we just have to go for it got nothing to lose

[Martin]

I'd go for the Kevin Keegan formation:

0-0-10!

Yes I did walk out but for reasons that has nothing to do with football or for that matter anybody else other than my family.

As for making comments about the players, unlike others on here I haven't been abusive to any of the squad. Interestingly a good number agreed with me.

With regards to being a good supporter, I've been more loyal than a lot of others over the past 52 years and will continue to be so, whatever the future may hold.

If you don't like what I post...then tuff!

Saw Stanners today and he's had a full training session today and is raring to go, if selected, on Thursday.
I'd include Duffy and tell him to get us a few penalties and get two or three of theirs sent off.

That's my team-talk over.

Probably the best one you've ever given...

well this is the idea on thurday if we do get under pressure playing long balls up to them three upfront i selected would just be futile, that selection should give the option to play pass and move football to feet what we can do

[Christies Child]

Could Sammy be planning a change at the centre of defence by playing Parrish in that position? He quicker than both Arts and Jimbo and might just be able to handle the speed of the Daggers strikers.

Remember Sammy did say recently that he saw Andy in the centre of defence one day.

That could then mean Moss on the right and Willow on the left.

[alwaysright]

ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK.............................absolutly nothing to lose, lets go out with a bang.

[cragbankshrimp]

I'd be tempted to try Artell and Mullins leading the front line with Jevons just behind them. Wilson and either Duffy or Wainwright out wide and put balls into the box at every oppertunity.
Back line of Parrish, Jimbo, Haining and Hunter with Drummy in the middle. The wide men will have to put one hell of a shift in, but i can't see any other way of clawing back a six goal defecit.
It could also backfire big time.
Who'd be a manager eh!

[al1]

i think we should use the 'multi-ball' system and really get at them,you never know.its a funny old game.

[Heysham_Shrimp]

Your best players are your best players , simple really !

Roche

Parrish Artell Bentley Moss

Duffy Stanley Drummond Wilson

Jevons Mullin

No need to go gung ho. Just keep the ball on the deck. Its Dagenham we are playing not Barcelona. We should have been 5-0 up at half time against them a few weeks ago. This time the chances have to go in !

anyone else remember a 2 legged match in the NPL cup I think it was against Southport and we lost away 3-1 and were 2-0 down at home in no time. We very nearly won it in the end.

[SkinnyShrimp]

Just win it - last ever game at Christie so just win it - restore a bit of pride and say goodbye on a high.

Sure Daggers will set up to keep it tight, concede nothing in the first 20, hush the crowd a bit and slow the game down - try and make it as boring as possible - similar to what we saw from Aldershot.

Get at them from the off, get the crowd buzzing and show everyone last week was a freak result........and please play Stanley - our defense looked very fragile without him in front of it.

[bill ding]

We should raise the North stand roof from the first whistle to the last and show the viewers in sky sports land what true fans can do . You ( the travelling fans)on sunday were superb but lets crank it up a notch for the very last game at CP , you never know what people power can do .

That's good news. I spotted him as well - at around mid day in Lancaster so worried he was away from training injured.

Parrish - Bents - Arts

Wainers/Duffs - Drummy - Stanners - Hunter - Wilson

Jevons - Mullin

Firstly shrimps supporters come in all shapes and sizes, cc is absolute proof of that, some people are destined to leave games early, or can't make it, or leave when we're 3-1 down to crewe and miss the greatest comeback ever (so far anyway).

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. and here's why. sammy's team talk should be simple, other than putting the clippings from the 6-0 all over the wall, 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. remember how you felt at the final whistle on sunday and tell yourselves not tonight, not ever again, not to this club, not to this set of players, and go out there and show everyone, show the fans, the people watching on sky, but tonight most of all you show dagenham that we have pride in this club, in this team, in our fans, we have pride in ourselves and you go out there and finish this season as winners!

or some such shit.
