One man defensive wall. has no fear. leads by example. Defensive midfield - Colin Ball. Sweeps up everything in front of him triggering counter attacks Attacking midfield - Fagin. Capable of picking a pocket of space anywhere Left Wing Back - Claudia Webbe. Capable of harassing opponents Right Wing Back - Boris Johnson. Capable of changing directions at speed however can lack indecision. Inside Left - Adam Ant. Excellent hold up play and movement Inside Right - Ben Hanlin. Tricky player. A magician. Central striker - Vasily Zaitsev. Needs only the slightest of openings. One shot is all it takes
I'd likely go same side again but look to phase in Morris as a starter instead of Chaplin and Sibbick instead of Sollbauer. I think part of the problem we sometimes face with Helik and Andersen is that they are very similar players and they want to attack the ball so end up in the same area at the same time. I suspect we'll end up replacing one of them with Kitching and the two sub appearances of Sibbick have been superb cameos. A ball carrying centre half on the right who can actually pass it would be a significant step up, but I'd rather he just gets his match fitness for a few more games rather than throw him in against very tough opponents.
Collins; Sibbick, Helik, Moon; Odour, Christie-Davies, Palmer, Frieser; Thomas, Chaplin, Schmidt (Can't find a CB available that would replace Helik...)
I think Sibbick has been looking good. I'd leave Sollbauer in there and drop Andersen. I'd leave Brittain in there instead of Freiser and try Morris, Woodrow and Schmidt up front. Still not seen Woodrow and Schmidt play together.
