Here we go again...one draw, one defeat so far.
This Saturday we meet in the league and after nine changes to the team last night we can probably expect to see the team revert to a similar line-up to last Saturday at Oxford.
Doubts remain over Hoskins, Revell and Powell through injury. Matt Grimes, however, will be available again after suspension, as will Matt Ingram (not allowed to play) and Regan Poole (International duty) who also missed yesterdays game.
What are peoples thoughts on this one? I'm sure both teams will be glad to see the back of each other. They don't score many but equally if they score first we could be in trouble because they don't let many in either.

We have to create more scoring chances and goals from midfield are paramount, so I suggest the following as a starting X1
Ingram
Moloney Taylor Pierre Buchanan
O'Toole Poole
McGugan Crooks Grimes
Long

I like the look of VI side.
Suspect we will have some pace for a pretend winger though.

Have to pick Waters for speedy outlet particularly if Powell NA.

I agree. We need another pacey attacker. Waters is playing well at the moment.

He won’t play that team because there is no pace in the side . He will play Waters or Hoskins on the right and il be amazed if JJOT isn’t played in an advanced midfield role again . Our most talented players don’t combine to make up the best balanced team unfortunately . I do agree that JJOT is better playing deep with legs next to him . The issue is that McGugan and Grimes played very well together there at Oxford .

Not sure why any changes would be made from the Oxford game.
Possibly tempting to bring Poole back in but can't say I'd take McGugan or Grimes out to accommodate him.

Because Powell didn’t look as though he was going to be fit but apparently is according to the Chron . You might also want to accommodate Crooks / Poole and I dont think JJOT works playing behind the front player .

OK fair comment re Powell.
I'd play Smith if he isn't fit.

I would like:
Ingram
Moloney Ash Pierre Buchs
McWilliams JJOT
Powell McGugan Grimes
Long
But think we'll end up with:
Ingram
Moloney Ash Pierre Buchs
McGugan Grimes
Waters JJOT Powell
Long
McWilliams needs to be playing but not at RB. Poole seems a bit of a luxury with everyone fit again, and it is hard to fit Crooks straight back in without taking away some width. For me, we need to be playing our players over loan ones as much as we can, hence leaving Poole out for now as he isn't needed at CB (what JED signed him for).
Nice to have a selection headache rather than forcing people into unfamiliar roles though.

I'd play the same team that started vs. Oxford.
Replace Crooks for Powell if he isn't fit.
We're close to getting our strongest side out and we should have a good chance of winning this game. I'm not reading in to Tuesday's defeat too much.

Exactly my choice of side and I agree with you on who he will actually pick. Crooks could possibly replace JJOT though behind the front man

For me Either John Joe or Mcwilliams need to start in midfield, We are so much more combative when they are playing.

Unfortunately McW had at best a mediocre game at Sc***horpe in the Cup! Would have thought the best he can hope for is on the bench possible 2nd choice after Foley?

You'd have Foley first choice?

As with many youngsters, McWilliams will need to dip in and out of the starting XI as he builds himself up to the finished article.

I said possibly and both not good enough for first team based on current form.

starting point will be the team that played oxford, if all fit.
If Powell is injured, Poole in and McGugan advanced.
Possibly Crooks in for O'Toole depending on preference of JFH and fitness.

It does look like JFH is still having to manage JJOT's fitness. He is nowhere back to being 100%.
