Matchday Thread: Trophy, Doncaster R v Port Vale

[Fosse69]

What team to put out I do not know. The main thing is to avoid any more injuries. Whether we can snap out of this run without the return of injured players may not matter in this game, but hopefully we can start to build some of our old form for Saturday.

I guess we have nothing to lose here so maybe give this a try

 

 

.................Alnwick................

 

....Purkiss........Streete.......Smith......Kiko.....

 

....Mbamba........Taylor......DeFreitas.....Thomas/Hart..

 

.............Turner...........Whoever.......

We should play all the lads he signed in the summer to give them a competitive game.We may unearth a gem:laugh:

[Class personified]

Looking forward to the game as it's a shot to nothing plus I've been invited to corporate hospitality so I'll get fed for free as well.

I'd get Saleiro back for this one.

[Conrad]

We need to win, it's 10k prize money to the winner of the game, not holding my breath though.

Cicilia in goal, as keepers rarely have to head it.

 

Grant up front, where he can dick about all he likes and maybe not put us into trouble.

 

Alnwick up front, so he can watch a keeper coming off his line.

 

Patterson right back, where he might keep the ball from going near the goal (he's good at this).

 

Kelly also up front but wearing a crash helmet in case he needs to challenge for or head the ball.

 

Bruno as captain for his communication skills.

 

The rest I would sign from Ladsandads.

Funny, but a month ago Grant could do no wrong. Then when he has a drop in form, for whatever reason,

he's the subject of ridicule. Funny old game this.

Anyone have any idea on admission prices for the game

It's the same for away fans. If you buy in advance from Vale you'll get the ST price if you have one. I paid a quid for my ticket.

Great stuff, bet they will not charge a shilling for a cup of tea?

He's one of our better players but he's a walking yellow card and a liability when caught in possession in bad areas.

[Volcano]

For this trophy match I think we'll make some changes, I wouldn't play our important players like Jerome Thomas and Ryan Taylor.

 

Purkiss apparently has a shoulder injury I heard Blakeman say he has saw it first-hand.

 

Remie Streete I think is on 4 yellows so I wouldn't risk him in what is a nothing match.

 

I think Santos will start, as he did against Mansfield in the last Trophy fixture.

 

My starting 11 would be

 

Santos

Gibbons Mac-Intosch Smith Knops/Kiko

Mbamba Amoros Tavares Kelly

Cicilia Turner

Bookings in the Trophy don't count in the League. It's a separate disciplinary route.

 

Also, your team has seven of the foreign lads in it. When we started with that number in against Mansfield we were beaten by a mediocre League 2 team on our own pitch.

 

We either take this cometition seriously and play a proper team or we don't and play me and thee!
