Tuesday`s Team

Magnay a doubt for tomorrow.

He's been one of the standout players for me this season so I hope he makes it.

Can Parslow do a job at left back ?

Yeah Carl Magnay is a doubt for the game against Southport to be honest if he's not fully fit we could rest him for these next 2 games, we don't want to make things worse and playing him and he gets injured where he's out for a while he's become very valuable for us this season, a player who i think has a chance still early days of being player of the season. The only suggestion i can see him making if magnay is injured is move Nsiala to RB and bring Doig in and moving Parslow to the left. We could have done with keeping Humble around for a couple more weeks just in case anymore injuries.

There is also Paul Walker and Paul Bignot who can also play RB, out of them 2 i would have to pick Paul Walker.

Can Parslow do a job at left back ?

Yeah, Parslow played pretty much everywhere bar goalie for York.

So Nsiala, Walker or Bignot at right back.
Not particularly enthused about any of them tbh but would probably go Bignot.
I feel a poll coming on... (but will resist the tempation)

I'd like to see us go 4-3-1-2 for this game, with Brown, Paddy and Clay as the three, Neilson as the 'one'  (I agree with the reasoning posted earlier), and Hannah and LJL up front. Probably a bit harsh on Mackreth but think it would work well against Southport. That said, I don't think he will do this. I think it'll be the same team and shape as Saturday with LJL for Oates and perhaps a defensive player swap if Magnay isn't fit.

I'd imagine we'll see Bignot in on the right with Parslow on the left if Magnay isn't fit. Pretty sure I've read that Parslow can play all the way across the back?

When we signed Parslow, it said he could play on the right, centre back or as a holding midfielder. Didn't say left back.

That being the case, I seem to recall that Bignot has played left-back for us in the past once or twice. Not ideal but I think that sticking Winfarrah in there might be a bit of a risk, especially as Southport are reportedly pretty 'direct'.

I wouldn't have Bignot anywhere near my team unless he was making the half time drinks. Paul Walker, give him a chance as he's never let us down on the rare occasions he's been called upon. Sometimes the easy choice is to go with 'experience' but Bignot has consistently looked the weakest link when he's played IMO. Parsow at left back as he's a decent size over Winfarrah as Southport will sling it forward. If Parslow isn't too comfortable on the left I'd have no problems throwing young Caine and Paul Walker in.
