[Mrs Warbouys]

Must win game one Saturday now with Borehamwoods improving form. If junior isn't going to be fit we need a right back in on emergency loan, that formation last night simply didn't work, pray to the Lord Simon richman isn't badly hurt and available to play, but it didn't look good.

................................Deasy
Sinnott(loanee)....Holness...Leather...Griffin
Crowther..Moult..Richman(O'Keefe)...Ginnelly
.........................Lawrie
..........................Reeves

[taxi Phil]

If we have to start O'Keefe in the engine room we're screwed.

Saturday's fixtures

Chester v Kidderminster
Welling v Wrexham
Halifax v Grimsby

I wonder what rabbits can be pulled out of hats with no Sinnott Jnr or Richman? Is Havern fit could we play three CBs?

If no sinnott I'd play David Brown at rb.

[Mrs Warbouys]

What about 3 centre backs and griffin as a sweeper?

[andrewflynn]

Guiseley ripped us apart when we played 4-4-2 against them back in August. I know it was way back at the start of the season but lets not take any chances, especially considering how Chester walked through us on Tuesday night. Five midfielders are a must, 4-5-1 or 3-5-2.

I'd much rather us play 4-5-1 because when it comes to tracking back I don't trust Ginnelly (although he works hard) and Crowther one bit. We'd be slaughtered on the wings. Worst case scenario and we're missing Havern, Sinnott and Richman then for me it has to be:

Deasy

Leather, Holness, Heathcote, Griffin

Crowther, O'Keefe, Moult, Lawrie, Ginnelly

Reeves

Pretty much the team Figgy names, but I highly doubt we'll be making another loan signing so Scott at RB makes the most sense. That is what I'd go with but I don't expect us to, Margetts will probably be in the team for a start. Having just one of the three doubtful players available would be huge.

Desperately need a right back in on loan...rather not have to play Heathcote at all ... in my opinion he isn't good enough and is playing well above his level .. we will ship many goals with him starting at centre back

We never had enough defenders at the start of the season

[ripleym]

The biggest issue first half against Chester was the diagonal balls played in behind Scott, which then pulled Sam out of position.  They played this ball time and again, so they clearly worked out we had a CB at RB and exploited it.

We should therefore play either Leather and Holness as a pair, to ensure there is experience there, 3 CBs or an extra man in midfield if we don't also have a recognised RB.

Three competent centre-halves in Havern, Marshall and Leather. Back up to them in Heathcote.

Two starting full-backs in Densmore and Griffin. Back up to them in the form of squad members who can 'do a job': Sinnott, Moult, Clee and Griffith.

Don't think we could have asked for much more than that at the start of the season, to be honest.

Sinnott moult and clee are all midfielders and Heathcote is inexperienced we basically started a season with 5 defenders and s lad from the youth team,I did say this in August

We started 2014/2015 with Densmore, Havern, Leather, Marshall, Griffin and Williams. Effectively five then considering Williams' retirement, five in 2015/2016. The difference this season has been the unfortunate injuries. We don't have the purchasing power to run a squad that includes more defenders. Cover at full-back has been a neglected luxury for as long as I can remember supporting us.

If no sinnott I'd play David Brown at rb.

... assuming he's registered with the league, which I don't know, it's certainly worth considering.
