We were once told we were spoilt.

Well I think Ollie is spoilt for choice now.

Who does he pick for Saturday ?

We had some good performances from players in both games this last week.

What team would you go with ?

If nobody had a knock coming out of Tuesday I'd be tempted to go with the same again with just Rose coming in for Morton.

We were not spoilt when not scoring  or winning.  A good away win (against a team that would have gone top if they had one) has raised expectations and maybe spoilt is.

We (as in England) were also spoilt last week beating the number 1 ranked team in the world.  Downhill since then.  We average 10 players for each game recently.  Including the (very good) James getting a red card after the match finished.

I think, if fit, Hanson will start in place of Gibson and Rose for Morton.

Rose for Morton seems an upgrade, but I think putting Hanson in will take away from the high pressing and high tempo football we played. Not that he doesn't work hard, but he's just a lot less mobile than Gibson and the front 3 worked very well together. Plus I hate that when Hanson is on we decide to lump it forward constantly yet don't seem to win the 2nd ball much.

I think Gibson just needs a goal it's a pity his header was ruled out for offside.

He gets in the right positions but just needs a bit of composure .

I am sure once he gets one many more will follow.

I think we have enough options to be flexible and tactically change depending on the opposition. We could easily go either 3-4-3 or 4-3-3 with Rose coming in for Morton or one of the centre backs. Equally we could play Hanson as a target man in a 4-5-1.

The more unpredictable we are, the more difficult it is for teams to set up against us.

As long as we set up to suit our players and formation and let the opposition worry about us rather then with some previous managers where we worried about them.

Why change a winning team ? These kids will only improve with games and competition for places . If we can go to Cheltenham and get a result why not orient with the same starting 11 and formation?

Rose hasn't looked anywhere near fit for me. He struggled at Walsall and not much better at Bolton. Needs bringing up to speed for me.

Clifton has been the only one of the centre midfielders who has looked anything like match fit , Rose, Morton, Williams, Spokes, Taylor all lagging behind. I wouldnt be suprised if he didnt rotate them again and Spokes makes an appearance this week.

Rose is a good player but probably a downgrade on ability to cover ground compared to Morton. In a 2 man midfield in the modern era that could be a big risk.

Incidentally for me Clifton would be the first choice of the midfielders we have at the moment. Covers so much ground and without him in our squad a 2 man  central midfield would probably be a lot less likely to work.
