 Yes. Peers and Fisayo off, Kosylo and Mooney on.

Not for me. I'm no tactician but Ceesay can be so effective because he hugs the touchline and stretches defenders, often creating space for Hancock to drift into. If you move him into the middle I fear we'd become very narrow with Mooney and Kosylo on the wings, both of whom cut inside repeatedly.

That said, clearly all three have to start on Saturday, but if we were going to go for an 'alternative' choice up top I'd rather it be one of the more technical players. I'd try Hancock before Ceesay.

I think we give Mooney a chance up top.


Kosylo   Hancock   Ceesay

Whoever leads the line for us needs to be able to retain the ball with their back to goal. Of all of our current options, I think we'd all be most confident with the ball sticking at the feet of Josh Hancock. He's technically great and he can put himself about / hold people off well. It would of course be extremely unfair to write Fisayo off just yet though and I'd expect him to start again this Saturday, after another training session to bed in with everyone.

We need to be patient.

Fisayo didn't have much to his feet, more to do with us clearing out lines a lot of the time (nothing wrong with that), but did win enough in the air to perhaps be the plan B player when we go long?

One thing we used to do regularly when JJ was in the team was stick him out wide on one wing, regardless of whether the play was on that side - it meant the opposition defence was stretched and it gave us a breakaway option. We haven't really used any of the wing replacements in that way since, maybe because JJ was very direct and players like Ceesay are less so, whilst still quick.

we can all pick what we think is our best eleven but after the Dover game we get a break followed by 6 games in the space of 19 days. We are going to need rotation in all areas of the team big time.

Kosylo   Hancock   Ceesay

               Mooney

Although we'll have to keep on rotating, my first choice would be:

Mooney      Kosylo      Ceesay

                  Hancock
