       Sunday VS Horden- Starting 11
       By: Robson3022 Date: January 19, 2012, 4:16 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Roll up roll up get your opinion out there.
       I think these were a big physical and technically the best team
       we've played this season. It sounds a little harsh but I don't
       think we can out football them as at times they moved the ball
       really well and we just chased our tails. I think we should look
       to expose there weaknesses which were there two centre half's
       were heavy and they were a pretty angry bunch. I would say catch
       them on the break and get in there faces so they loose it a bit.
       With that in mind I don't necessarily think the all  "in form"
       players should play. So......
       ...............Burns...............
       JimBob/Zander/Ian/Anth
       Paul/Jakka/Dan/Grey/Macca
       ...............Andy.................
       Burns- Speaks for itself
       Back four have looked pretty solid of late
       Paul-I think Dan needs to play in the middle playing on the
       break I think Paul would work out here.
       Jakka-The man to annoy (as long as he doesent end up winding
       himself up!!!)
       Dan-I think Dan needs to play in the middle this game as last
       time we played these he ended up in there anyway
       Grey- Scored playing up top last time but is a much better CM
       Macca-Should slot in here if fit (probably wont be!!!!) Will
       need his energy
       Controversially I've gone with Andy up here. When he plays he
       puts in 110% and it will be a hard slog plus he loves being
       physical.
       Kevs pace would make sense here playing counter attacking but
       you don't use it enough mate and I think you know that. Hally
       has been playing well and there's no doubt that since the
       beginning of the season your work rate has gone up massively.
       Rossi you would be perfect for this game if you listened to
       people a little more you look fit as a fiddle when you came back
       from the run and I think you were good in training going forward
       but stopped playing when we didn't have the ball.
       I always try to put myself in the team and would like to think I
       could do the hold up job up top but I haven't been to training
       as much as the other lads and think it's a bit unfair plus I'm
       ****.  Think Leon could go in here somewhere as loves a tackle
       but we've only got 11 spaces!!!
       Dotty and Matty where two of the best players at training last
       night and if it looks like the roughem up counter attack isn't
       working then these two could easily change our style. Cant
       really believe I've left Dotty out!!!
       Sinky could be our missing LB but to start in this game would be
       a bit of a ****.
       Jesus our squads big. That's enough arse kissing sorry if I've
       offended anyone...god I'm bored at work!!!!

       i couldnt agree more about it being a physical i remember the
       last game really well and although they did play some good
       football we let them get on with it far to much, at times we
       were far to slow to close down the play and for one reason or
       another we looked out of sorts against them, but with that said
       it still only ended 3-1 and we are playing to a whole new
       standard since the start of the season so we can really take the
       game to them on sunday, also they have apparently lost a couple
       of players which can only play into our hands but regardless if
       they have a full strength team or not if we play to our
       potential and get about the game in the way we can this is a
       game that we should be looking to win. So with all that said and
       again because of the physical nature of the game i would go back
       to the 4-5-1 making my team
       Burns
       Jimbob Ian Zander Anth
       Dotty Paul Gray Me Hally
       Dan G
       Burns - best keeper in the league :D
       JImbob - never shys away from a tackle and links up brilliant
       with dotty
       Ian/Zander - again best cb partnership for me
       Anth - would of put sinky in because i know he would be ideal
       for this time of game, but credit where it is due and anth has
       stepped in and done really well in recent games so deserves his
       place
       Dotty - the only worry is he could be roughed up and taken out
       of the game but if he can get started early then he could easily
       prove to be to much for them
       Paul - recent weeks have shown he is back to his best and is
       doing more than just picking up assists, he is grafting and
       getting about the pitch alot more which everyone is noticing
       Gray - agree with people saying he is better suited at cm which
       i hate to admit because it leaves me out the team in certain
       formations haha but keeps scoring and is in great form, also
       missed this game earlier in the season so will be a plus having
       him back
       Me - just want to play :)
       Hally - work rate is a key improvement this year but over the
       last couple of months i have seen more tackles coming from him
       aswell so aslong as that continues sunday theres no reason he
       shouldnt be involved in the game (also he scored a great goal
       against these last time out)
       Dan G - target man, danger man whatever u want to call him he is
       scoring goals for fun and is in the type of form which is
       winning us games, only worry is he could be isolated on his own
       up there so the midfield will need to offer plenty of support
       need to mention how hard it was to come to that 11, there have
       been some great performances in training from the likes of
       matty, andy, kev, rossi so all of those could have gotton a
       place in the team, macca aswell would of gotton in there
       somewhere but after hearing him say he didnt feel rite last
       night i am not sure if he is 100% fit and in a game like this
       any little knock will be made alot worse because of the rough
       nature this game will bring. I think i have wrote enough now
       though ha so see yas sunday lads

       Totally agree with Jacka.
       I think Sinky would be ideal at left-back but Anth has been
       really good lately and done well to hold his place down.
       This is winnable if we're up for it.

       Right here goes, obviously wasn't at training so this is based
       purely on putting out a team that can win this match
       Burnsy
       JimBob Ian Zander Sincy
       Me
       Macca Jacka Grey Dotty
       Dan
       Burnsy - No need to explain
       Jimbob - Best right back at the club , simple as
       Ian & Zander - Solid and understand each other's games
       Sincy - Naturally left sided, clearly good enough so deserves
       his chance ( I know Anth has done well but I always prefer a
       left sided left back)
       Me - Really think I can do a job here, let's me get on the ball
       and hopefully dictate the tempo
       Macca - Will be a real threat and will work well with Jim Bob
       Jacka - Just needs to get on there nerves and disrupt there
       rythymn, and will score if he keeps getting in the box
       Grey - Can be more influential and more of a goal threat
       arriving late into the box
       Dotty - Can play anywhere but this allows him to come in side
       and get crosses in or shots on goal, also understands how to
       work well with a full back and will help sincy
       Dan - Always for me has to be up top. The ball on Sunday needs
       to stick and then we play off the forward.
       Plenty of options on the bench and a team that is flexible
       enough to adapt and change the system if required. This team has
       plenty of height and a real presence which is what we maybe
       lacked against them last time. We need to start fast and get in
       their faces, play our football, nothing silly never be afraid to
       launch it if you have to and create chances which we know we
       will and make sure we take them
       This is a big few weeks coming up, starting with three points on
       Sunday

       Might as well post anarl cas am bored.
       Burnsy
       Jimbob,me,ian,macca
       Dotty grey gibbo jakka leon
       Anth
       A know av left a few good players out but ya can't play 20 odd a
       side. Grey nd dan in the middle alongside jackka would mean
       thered be   some anger and meat in a tackle in the middle of the
       park.  Exactly what ya need against the physical sides. Av hoyed
       anth up top to basically chase everything. Close down defenders
       and not leave them with any time on the ball at all. Anth
       deserves to keep a place in the side with him being class of
       late.  Bringin paul on in the 2nd half to tire them out chasing
       his passes all ower. Reckon that's all av got to say for now.
       Untill sunday... Farewell

       Dotty  Paul Jacka/Macca Hally
       Dan
       I think we need to keep a steady team and play our way. I hear
       they were strong last time but we have a really good team now
       and to change to much could create problems. I would move myself
       back behind Jacka and Paul or even Macca as I think he could be
       perfect for the role of playing just off Dan as he drifts around
       and opposition teams find him hard to mark, however, I dont wont
       to leave out Jacka, paul or myself. This line up with me sitting
       a little more and letting Paul and Jacka do their thing should
       mean we have a balanced side. The defence/keeper have been
       excellent and know that if they keep a clean sheet Dan will
       always get chances.
       Can't wait for this game I would much rather play teams like
       this every week then Ashdown.
       p.s. Pleased to see Anth getting in most peoples teams regularly
       now as I think his attitude to training and in games is quality.
       Nice one mate
       Class dismissed

       Dotty  Grey  Jacka  Paul   Hally
       Dan
       Only thing I'm going to say is this is probably harsh on anth
       but I always prefer having a left footer at left back
