Armchair Manager. Your Team Tuesday?

Quoted from GollyGTFC

                          McKeown
Hendrie   Menayesa   Waterfall   Habergham
                              Rose
Jackson       Matete        Spokes      Williams
                             Hanson

Subs: Russell, Preston, Pollock, Hewitt, Wright, Green & Gibson.

Hopefully the weather forecast is wrong and it gets called off though.

Well.. today I've seen that the BBC are teaching (indoctrinating) nine year olds that there are over 100 different genders and a respected GTFC supporter picking an unproven out of depth centre forward at right midfield instead of Max Wright or Scannell.

Currently wondering if the world has indeed gone completely mad..

Russell
Hendrie Waterfall Menayesa Habergham
Wright Matete Spokes Scannell
Williams Gibson
(Hanson to come off the bench 2nd half, don't want to ask too much too soon)

Russell or Battersby

Hewitt
Menayese
Waterfall
Habergham

Wright
Williams
Matete
Rose
Scannell

Hanson

Think we need to put in a more experienced team and more energy up front. Id go with this....

                              McKeown


Hendrie     Menayese     Pollock     Habergham


   Morais       Matete       Rose        Scannell


                  Hanson      Gibson / new striker


Think 2 natural wingers with experience, sure up with Rose in the centre and ask Gibson to run the channels and his socks off up top and hopefully we can get a result. The team have so much to prove

                                           McKeown

Hewitt              Menayese            Wat/Pol              Hendrie

                                            Rose

                          Spokes                  Matete            

Wright                               Williams                      Scannell

Taking it that Clifton and Morais are unfit, Hanson and Habergham need a rest, loathed to play a forward for the sake of playing a forward, they don't score or contribute to teamplay anyway. Use Williams as a floating false nine and play Scannell and Wright more advanced when we've got the ball. Get our best available players in the starting eleven..

Green has been playing as a false striker all season! Oh, and last season too.

Whatever team is played I would expect zero points.
However I continue to pray for a miracle.

Quoted from oochiad

As much as I’ve been supporting Green of late as he has done better I would feel more optimistic about scoring if he was on the bench for Tuesday........

I think he’d have more chance of scoring from there as well

Back four pretty much picks itself, if Waterfall is fit he plays.  If not, Pollock.

Ahead of that it's just lobbing a load of darts at the board and hoping a few land the right way up.  Rose added some composure when he came on but he also slows things down for me.  He looks far better in that holding role but then he doesn't really offer any protection in that position, players just ghost past him.   Without wingers, your full backs are under more pressure which means your centre-backs are often dragged a bit further wide.  As the holding midfielder you, at times, become the only central barrier between the opposition and the goal.  Rose doesn't offer that.  However I wouldn't know what else to suggest.  

Matete is a shoe-in, to partner him probably Spokes.

In attack I think there's only 3 players who look capable of offering anything, especially who are fit (or something like fit).  That's Hanson, Wright and Scannell.  Problem is all 3 are made of glass and coming back from lay-offs.   Maybe give all three 60 minutes, hope we've had enough of an impact and then bring on Williams, Jackson and Gibson to be fresh legs.  

Actually, thinking about it.  If we're playing Hanson we need to play to strengths.  He looked his best when he first signed because we had quality deliveries into him, namely from Hewitt at right-back.  Hewitt had a stinker on Saturday but in all honesty Hendrie wasn't much better and gave Devarn Green far too much freedom.    Hewitt at right-back, Habergham at left-back and just pepper the box with deliveries from deep for Hanson.  Wright and Scannell following up for the balls behind or the knock-downs.  A high press from Matete and Spokes for anything else that falls loose.

In goal, not impressed with either McKeown or Russell at the minute.  McKeown looks a shadow of himself whereas whenever Russell plays he looks like what he is, a goalkeeping coach who has kept his hand in by playing in the tin-pot trophy against Under 23 sides.  Could be a flip of the coin but I'd probably got McKeown.

That's Ira Jackson jr who scored 24 goals in 36 matches during 2019/20 season for Folkestone Invicta where he played Right Wing.

Basic research mate. Try it sometime.
