Team for Gateshead

Quoted from 120797

If picking over 80's definition of wing back is really the strongest reason there is for saying Hurst should be on his bike, it's pretty desperate and pathetic IMO.

That would be true, but I don't think Abdul was claiming that.

Quoted from jonnyboy82

so a 2-3-2-3 formation ?

Not sure is it 2323, 433 or 451 ?
Have we got the ball or not ?
You tell me !

Quoted from jonnyboy82

in all seriousness why on earth would you drop scott brown for clay and Connell is no way a lone striker player.

How can Connell be lone striker when if it a 2-3-2-3 ?  

But seriously...
My answers to all your questions are already on this thread.
Seek and ye shall find (if you can be arsed of course !)

Quoted from pontoonlew

I know I moan about the manager a lot but when I see some of 80s weird and wonderful suggestions I realise how much worse it could be.

Thanks for going into such great detail explaining your objections.
I do appreciate you don't often tend to (especially about John Lewis !)  

Actually perhaps you've got a point...
Some of my thoughts did appear somehow similar in nature to some of yours !!!  
Still if you're wrong, guess I must be too !  

Quoted from Meza

I know Boyce has done well but my reasons for dropping him was he's not contracted to GY and the more we play Toto and Pearson together they will only strengthen there understanding.

Very good point IMO, was wondering the same... (albeit not enough to change my own mind)

Quoted from Meza

Bignot RB due to his experience.   I like Paul Walker and I think he will become a regular one day but he needs to curb that petulance streak of his.

See your point here too !  
And tbh I'm not convinced by any means Walker is that great defending per se either but really like him bombing forward.
Did well v Sunderland pre-season too ?

Quoted from Meza

b) Disley a bit behind in terms of match sharpness due to his injuries.

I see it the other way round tbh.
If he's not quite match sharp (like others) I'd play him to help him get there.

Quoted from Meza

I went with Pitman due to his pace and skill and connell for his intelligence you never know these 2 just might hit it off lol

Sounds like blind date !

Anyway good points Meza (& good to see you too !)

Nice pic of rod man in white boots !, on the front of Gatehead prog today  let's hope we can keep him at bay today disappointed that Hannah and Arnold May not feature happy with a point but I stick by my 4-0 home win

Yeah whatever mate...
In any case just keep popping up with your counter examples not forgetting to say how terrible life is down in the Conference.

And you 80's nice to see you come back and write your usual long posts lol.  Its been that long 80's your number of posts have reset and now i have more than you haha

the other reason for playing paddy instead of dizza is that I want to see how he does I though dizza looked a bit flat, no energy or much movement but he does have a knack at popping up with a few goals.   I guess its a case of different opinions with constructive points.

No danger of me ever catching you up either lol.

Won't disagree with your points here either.
Thought he generally played ok Sat but like you say was hardly Mr Energy out there either.
He did seem to blow a bit hot and cold last season too so perhaps we'll see the best of him later. (hopefully very soon !)

Rodley Mariner found this witty.

Disley and Connell dropped!

Quoted from Chrisblor

Disley and Connell dropped!

Is that official mate.
