James Oldham was the referee at Blackpool - I wonder if they're related?
Can you imagine two brothers both refs 😂 |

Brady must know Chuckwuemeka, and how to get the best of him, better than anyone else at the football club. The other options have been tried and haven't cut the mustard. He showed enough against Wigan away IMO to show that he is potentially a very dangerous, composed player. I'd love to see him start.
Here's my team in a 4-3-1-2 with full backs encouraged to bomb forward on the overlap:
Mitchell
Kioso Bolger. Jones. Mills
Sowerby McWilliams. Morris
Hoskins
Rose Chuckwuemka
If and when Miller gets fit I would go for the 4-3-3 again.

I can’t find any family connection between the two of them, ones from Lancashire and the other from Derbyshire. Teachers Pet did at least answer my belief that we’d had an ‘Oldham’ recently!! |

Burton's only away win, 1-0 at Gillingham, is the only away clean sheet they have on their travels but on the other hand they have only failed to score twice in 12 away games and twice have scored more than 1. We have only kept 3 home clean sheets so we may need to score more than once to win.
It is now the middle of February can we finally get our first Saturday home win of the season?.
On the subject of referees Graham Salisbury and Michael Salisbury are father and son, we have had both several times.

I would put McWilliams in the Hoskins position and Watson in the midfield three. Mcwilliams to press Burton higher up the pitch. |

Brady added: "One thing is for sure is that we'll be really on the front foot, we'll be getting bodies into the box and putting crosses in and getting shots off and it won't be through for the want of trying in terms of scoring goals. "Without giving too much away, it's about the freedom for players to get into the box and the freedom for players to express themselves in the final third. "We need to move the ball quickly and keep our ball speed high and a lot of that we went through on Thursday and we really enjoyed seeing the players express themselves." How refreshing!!  |

Just wondering what the reaction would be if they played 5 at the back with the same starting 11 as against Wigan but they dropped McWilliams? Would it be the equivalent faux pas of Fenwicks “stepping stone to the Prem” comment? I’m expecting pretty good things from Brady tbh, so I hope not? I have a fuzzy warm glow about the dynamic trio, I really do.

The dreaded 5 and drop McW! The reaction would be an overload on here! Unless we win  ! Not so sure about the JB/triumvirate. Didn’t work for Pompey! |

Caretaker manager Jon Brady says he is not looking ahead any further than Saturday’s game with Burton Albion. “It’s been a whirlwind couple of days but my only focus right now is on trying to get results to help the club move up the league. “Sammo has a vast amount of experience as does Marc Richards, and they both know the football club. I’m really happy and comfortable to have them around me and I know they will both push me as well. “Saturday is a big game in terms of we know that a win could potentially see us pop out of the bottom four but I don’t want to put too much pressure on one game. “In terms of the team we will put round pegs in round holes and we will pick what we believe are the best players to try and win us the game.“The players we pick will have the freedom to go out and express themselves. We want them to get forward and they also have to have the attitude and belief that they will get on the end of things. “I’ve seen that in training but we have to take it into Saturday now.” How refreshing, finally the end of Hoskins at wing back!  |

Me too! I've had one of those weeks where you are somehow a day out and keep thinking it's the wrong day so I woke up this morning thinking "Cobblers v Burton later!" until a moment or so later I realised it was actually Friday and I had another day to wait. I was really disappointed... |

Probably unlikely that we come up against JJO'T tomorrow as he was not in their 18 man squad for their last game due to injury. I have never been convinced by him playing at centre back.

Might be some interesting selections for both sides tomorrow with as you mention JJOT for Burton, for us Hoskins, Bolger, Horsfall,Sheehan,Marshall and last not least Holmes (if a place in the squad still exists) My money is on Hoskins in the starting line up; joint leasing leading scorer ? |

Hopefully the end to wing backs all together as we haven't got a sole fit for the task. |

Watson Morris
Hoskins

I would be asking the forwards to run them selves into the ground with one eye on swapping both. We are top heavy squad wise and we need to start utilizing that like Wilder does. They should be starting knowing they are going to be on for 45/60 mins and leave everything on the pitch.

As far as I can remember Hoskins has rarely been selected as an outright wingback; admittedly he ends up there after some of Curles substitutions. |

To be a wingback you need to have certain strengths. Mills cannot physically cross a ball from a wide position, so I would not class him as a wing back. Kioso I agree partly, although I'm not convinced he has the defensive attributes to be a wing back. |
