Maybe it is time to give Stephens a chance. Dickoh can be a good defender at times, but makes too many mistakes and each time it leads to a goal or a good chance.

By my own admission our midfield is a bit lightweight, would possibly put Murray in the middle and move Rankin out wide with Galbraith dropping to the bench and Booth coming in at LB. Feel sorry for Lewis as would have left him at LB if he did not pick up his injury.

[lucky]

After 3 months in charge it appears CC flings the squad numbers in hat and draws them out randomly. He should stick to the same team. Miller is available though so Murray could get the elbow

Although Murray has been as bad as the rest recently Id much sooner get shot of De Gaff first.
An attacking 352 for me. I know it's very unlikely but we seem to have tried everything else.

:agree: I like this side.

I would have Wotherspoon at right back every time, his best form was in this position last season. I noticed some people have Stephens and Hanlon at the back, personally I don't think they have the experience to play together.

[GreenCastle]

Player and what I would tell them is there aim for the game.

Brown - when you kick - keep it in play!

Thicot - Attack but defending is priority one.

Dickoh - Do the basics and keep the shape at the back

Stevens - Show me what your made of

Hanlon - played ok at center back but we are lacking left backs - so do a job and link in with midfield.

Zemmama - last game was poor - get on ball and go past players

Rankin /McBride - show me you want to be at this club

Miller - Can you play the ball forward once in a while and battle - not bottle tackles.

Galbriath - beat players and link up with Hanlon

Riordan - work harder and stay onside

Byrne - make clever runs off the ball and link up with Deek

Subs - 5 from

Duffy -
Rankin / McBride
Murray -
Nish -
Booth -
Stack -
Welsh -

Wow that was hard - we are SEVERELY lacking any leaders.

[ivan03]

hes only made 7 changes for tomorrows games, from the 11 that started against celtic!! haha.

Would that not be justified based on the performance.

If Brown doesn't make the starting XI and isn't injured I'd like to know why. Is poor kicking really an excuse to leave out a guy who has saved us from getting hammered countless times this season?

[fife hfc]

If Brown is fit he must play. I would bring in Hart, Booth,Miller, Byrne and Duffy.

That's a good point. He's already scored against teams from the 2nd division, maybe it would be the perfect game for him to stake a claim for a place.

As for your team, i'm positive Brown will be in goals, Thicot won't be at right-back and i'd be extremely surprised if Booth starts.

Trialists aren't eligible and would have had to be registered before the first game. Would be suicide to drop Brown, I reckon.

Thanks, and that's definite?

I am still amazed at the lack of youngsters forcing their way into the team. I know its a young bench but we lack pace and spirit which is what I would hope you would at least get from youngsters.

ggtth

[BSEJVT]

look at the bottom of page 2 mate, i posted the team already.

See its been removed now, but if correct.

CC's fixation with bingo balls as a means of team selection continues.

Derek's copper bottomed guarantee to play every week when fit regardless of form or motivation persists.

So much for CC's promise of continuity of selection highlighted earlier!

Still we should be okay

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

I'd go for this with two changes.

First Hart at RB instead of Spoony, simply because H is a natural RB and Spoony is not, plus Hart should do very well at this level!!

Then I'd play Mcbride ahead of Rankin, since the former is a good, disciplined, defensive midfielder whilst the latter is just rankin,

We will win well!!

He is slower than a wet week in Skegness when he is fit never mind never having had regular games for weeks.

[Tollhouse Hibee]

i just find it funny we even feel the need to think about a defensive midfielder against a 2nd div team

[ancienthibby]

He is slower than a wet week in Skegness when he is fit never mind never having had regular games for weeks.

That makes him faster than the rest of the team, excluding Deeks, of course!!:cool2:

aye but at least he will manage to stay onside, unlike deeks!

We HAVE to be in that draw for the next round, Our season is over but still being in the cup and a potential visit to the national stadium is the only thing left for hibs fans to think about.
