GK-Heaton (Not as good a shot-stopper as Marshall, but a better all round keeper and I feel much safer when he's in goals)

RB-Blake (Only over Quinn because he's faster to deal with Sinclair, would have put Kev at RB but would mean Naylor has to play at LB then)
CB-Hudson (Apart from Bothroyd, been my player of the year this season)
CB-Keinan/Gyepes (I haven't seen enough of Keinan to decide who's better out of him or Gyepes)
LB-McNaughton (Will mark Dyer out of the game, like he would any winger in this division)

CDM-Olofinjana (As well as it worked with him off in the 2nd half against Reading, I just think he's a must for this game to stop the Jacks dominating midfield)
CM-Whittingham (I know he drifts in and out of games, but can always do something out of nothing)
CAM-Ramsey (Give him a free role in the midfield, and watch him rip the Jacks apart)

RW-Emmanuel-Thomas (Played poor against Reading, but will do better if he plays on the wing, cutting in, and not up front with Jay)
CF-Bothroyd (obviously)
LW-Bellamy (SO much more effective when he sticks out wide left and doesn't drift, our front 3 need to stick to their positions more, we're good but we're not Barcelona)

I know most people will think Chopra should start but for this particular game I would definitely play the 3 man attack i suggested with Ramsey given a free role, Chopra could then be used as an impact sub like against Reading.

I honestly think that if JET, Jay and Bellamy are a bit more disciplined in their positions then that attack would be outstanding, with Bellamy bombing past Rangel, JET cutting in on his left, cos he does have the quality, and then Bothroyd just being Bothroyd.

SUBS - Marshall, Quinn, Gyepes/Keinan, Koumas, Burke, Parkin, Chopra

Could go all out attack with kev, keinan, Hudson, Matthews, burke, ramsey, whitts, bellamy, jay, chopra?? That would show us fans he's got some balls. Pretty stupid too but ballsy none the less!!

----------------------------Marshall
Super Kev ---- Dekel ---- Hudson ----- Blake? Not sure.

Burke -------- Oli ------- Whitts -------- Bellars

----------------------- JayB ----- Chops

Bench: Heaton, Parkin, JET, Ramsey, Naylor, Quinn, Meades

I fear after tonights performace, we're gonna get a thumping on Sunday. I think JB and Chops is a key duo and the back 4 really need to tight :lol: :lol: :lol: en it up and concentrate. Thoughts?


does it really matter what team you field they will bottle it on the day :lol: :lol: :lol:
