Nor the bench, for me.

Doesn't offer anything and I'd sooner see Sisay, Jackson or even a YT given a chance ahead of him, especially as he won't be here beyond this season anyway.

No malice towards him, he just isn't up to it anymore.

He might not be up to it but not many are much better. It wouldn't bother me if we got rid of all the strikers and started from scratch. It is a different forward line every match - no wonder they don't gel.

Definately sticking my head into the Lions den here but I dont think Green has been all that bad. I watched the game on Tuesday for example and he never got a decent pass from anybody all game and that's been typical of many games. Would agree with most if he was fluffing chances or missed controlling all the time. His hold up play has been pretty decent at times and he never goes missing even when it's not going his way.
I know Hanson is being put on a pedestal at the moment (not necessarily from us) but when he plays we just go route one all the time. I would like to judge Green and indeed all our strikers if the level of service was much better.

I have no idea about formations... we have tried a few and perhaps 3-5-2 is best?
This line up is only if all fit

Back 5 picks itself
Macca
Hendrie
Waterfall
Pollock
Preston

This is where it gets bloody hard
We have strikers who don't score; creative midfielders who don't create

Rose and Edwards are about the only shoe-ins
Then perm 4 from the rest
One more defensive type - Clifton or Taylor
Then Williams, Windsor, Tilley

Even after writing that I'm not sure

I think we can only have two defensive-type sitters otherwise we stand no chance of creating anything

Scannell, Bennett should be way more influential than they are - can't believe it is all a fitness issue

This is the reverse of too many players in form to choose from - we have so few in form

Think we need to change the formation 4-5-3 may help 🤔

Completely forgot about Windsor, I would definitely like to see more of him in a central role rather than that wider withdrawn role.  

As said on other posts, can't look beyond 4-4-2 for me.

                 McKeown
Hewitt Waterfall Pollock Hendrie
Wright Rose Clifton Edwards
           Gibson Windsor


I think Preston needs a rest, hence the switching over of Hendrie.  I like Williams but think we need proper width from the wingers with a bit of protection from the middle two.

Tilley is unlikely to play tomorrow but this is undoubtedly our best side.
