kevin, pops was at the vale when bratty was still in short trousers.

 

I know I saw him play for us ;)

Rob Page has a problem with team selection. On current form he wants to pick Louis Dodds. When he plays him in his no.10 role he is basically playing 1 striker. Louis is not as effective wide or central midfield. I would sacrifice a winger for him and still play him behind two strikers. Where there is no winger, get the full back to overlap more. Flexible 4-3-1-2. Thoughts?

 

I agree, attack is our best form of defence at the moment because our better players are attack minded. I would rather we went down with a bang rather than a whimper.

 

Key may be keeping the ball high up the pitch and for that we need Pope to be one of the two up front.

 

Dodds behind Pope and ? who do you think Pops Campion, Willo or perhaps Couliby?

Page says that Duffy is a major part of our survival plan. ****** brilliant just the news I wanted to hear in the morning.

 

A major part he hadn't played him since Bristol City that's how much he thought of him more stupid talk

I like the look of omigoolies.

It must be April again.

 

It's that time of the year that everyone thinks that Dodds is the key to success/failure*

Back 4 as you were.

2 anchored midfield players

Dodds free behind 2 strikers

Marshall to play wide against more dangerous full back getting forward.

When other full back gets on the ball we shuffle across. Simples on paper.:rolleyes:

Got to play the players more likely to score Alan. I worry where the next goal is coming from

[butt lane vale fan]

Don't get me wrong JJJ in an ideal world he's exactly who I'd want but for example it really saddens me how much people hate Glover despite him being a true legend for us as a player, the quality he had makes him unparalleled in terms of what we have now throughout the squad.

 

I do recognise Aspin's done exceptionally well in non-league but then so have so many others that aren't being mentioned and it's only because Aspin's used to play for us that he's being mentioned. Generally as an ex-player there is only one way his reputation could go if he took the job and that would sadden me further,

 

That being said I no longer want Page largely because of the stupid lie of a story he came up with regarding O'Connor (makes him untrustworthy to me) and Rosler as Yukon says is probably out of our league. That leaves options limited and Aspin of all names mentioned on here of recent days (I'm waiting for someone to start a thread suggesting Colin) is by far the most sensible and logical.

 

Think the issue with Glover mate is as much to do with the way he stabbed Sinnot in the back and fell out with Andy Porter. His after match interviews were along list of excuses from week to week. I dont mind someone making a mistake or two, but when he comes across as poison behind the scenes it doesnt help breed unity and he's not one you'd want with you in a fight, as when you were just coming out the trenchies, he'd be off running to the boss bleating and crying its your fault.

Hes the only one scoring at the moment but I take it you would drop him and put willo alongside Pope, your name isnt Page is it?

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

My thoughts would be the full backs aren't good enough for that role.....

 

Totally agree. When Yates and Dickinson go forward they struggle to get back and when Yates goes forward his delivery is usually poor. Given the problems we have defensively I'd prefer defenders to defend at the moment.

 

I read Robbie Earle's article today in the paper and he said at Wimbledon when they went on a bad run Kinnear would just make sure they kept clean sheets. 5 of those and we stay up, ugly yes but it will do the job.
