I'm trying to think and have no idea at the minute. I'd like to see us play 3-5-2 but we haven't got a decent left wing-back, well we do but he's on loan at Scunny. Think the diamond is probably about the best for us at the minute as we don't have natural width and that can be provided down at least one side by Wiseman. Tonight I'd probably try something like this: ------------------Butland Wiseman - M'Voto - Ramage - Kennedy ----------------Etuhu --------Cywka--------Mellis ----------------McCourt --------Scotland------Pedersen
Decent team except Cranie for M'Voto at least until GoG is fit and We can get RNL back and Digby match fit.
Surely we must have someone, anyone, who can replace the narcoleptic KennedY? And I think age has caught up with Scotland I'm afraid.
Butland Wiseman Cranie Nyatanga Kennedy Perkins Digby? O'Brien Mellis RNL Pedersen Steele Ramage M'Voto Dawson McCourt Cywka Scotland
Tudgay's not fit but I wouldn't start Scotland either I don't think. Tonight I'd go for something different ....................Butland Wiseman Ramage Hassell Nyatanga ................Digby Cranie ..........Cywka Mellis McCourt ..................Pedersen - Dibble, M'Voto, Perkins, Fox, O'Brien, Scotland, Tudgay
Our best side with the players we have on the books is: ---------------Butland -----Cranie---Hassell---McNulty Wiseman------------------------RNL -----------Digby Perkins ---------------McCourt ----------O'Grady Pedersen
Would go with that myself dys except not sure mcnulty should be in there. Kennedy does a decent job as a CB in a 3, or Ramage as I don't think we have seen his best yet.
That is my exact XI were I allowed to pick it. Although I'd play Mellis instead of Paddy sometimes, rotate them, and use t'other after 60 minutes or whatever. If we're at home though I'd be tempted to stick Mellis in instead of Perkins.
I think that McNulty would offer just as much, if not more, than Kennedy in a 3. Height along with a similar ability to hit a ball long down the left side and not defend very well.
My rubbish stab at a team a la Licky Lemons. Based only on who is available now. Butland Cranie Hassell Nyatanga wiseman u21 left back (sorry not that much of a train spotter so don't know name) Digby Melllis Tompole Pedersen paddy as impact sub or to start instead of Tompole depending on form. Perkins and Kelvin on call to replace Digby Mellis as and when Scotland Tudgay as offensive subs Big Jean to kick people if needed.
Yes I think that's him. Like you said my nan would be an improvement on Kennedy and she's been dead for 10 years.
