Roberts - just because there's no one else MDG Earl Williams Okeffe Cadden Connell Phillips Grant Cosgrove Macatee (but if he plays like Friday swap him for jalo or Marsh asap)
I would agree with that team. If we don’t start Cosgrove up top I at least hope we don't persist with the “tactic” of lumping it up to Santos’ head all game.
Killip Okeefe MDG Earl Cadden Phillips Russell Connell Jalo Cosgrove Mcatee U21 GK Cotter James Marsh Watters Grant Dyer High press high energy go for it. C
We have to do something different. It’s **** or bust and need to take them by surprise. In would go 4-5-1 with long balls up to Cosgrove with Philips Connell and Grant picking up the pieces Russell shielding the defence, Mcatee playing just behind Cosgrove , again picking up the pieces. cotter in for his long throws - both full backs told to push on. play a high line with keeper told to come out and sweep. I’d drop Roberts OR Play Cole on the far left if an attacking 3 and ask him to cut in. I can’t recall who it was this season but we played this way for the last 20 against someone and battered them - we were losing 1-0 I think or drawing

This ^^^ Trying the same thing again that's failed us so obviously in recent weeks is an absolute hiding to nothing. They'll just rinse and repeat from Tuesday. No idea on the personnel, but we've got to try summat different or they might as well just concede the tie now. I'd rather they changed things up and give it a right crack. Throw the kitchen sink at it. Four across the back a bare minimum and work out how to bypass Andre the Giant......
Neither would I. A couple of the tool downers not even on the bench. Jalo played out wide in a 3 being able to utilise his pace on a big wide pitch. Giving another keeper a chance because our regular one cannot keep the ball out of his net.
I would go similar we won't but go with a back four because we haven't got 3 decent centre halfs. Three up top we need goals they won't expect it what have we got to lose stuff it go for it.
Cole will start, the team is in turmoil, theres no team in Barnsley, its Me, Myself, an I, Eleven individuals that needs a leader, a,s,a,p.
