By and large in league 2 your best team to win a game has your best 11 players in it. You can play around with the system a little but your best players need to be doing a role which suits them. There isn't a squad in The Premier League, let alone League 2, with 20 players of interchangeable quality. Really when a manager picks a team to beat the opposition it's more to try and get a 0 0 draw by packing the side with defenders; rather than trying to win a game. 

In terms of Montano some fans have a real downer on him as a fullback. Going forward there is only Bramhall who is better in this league. Defensively we didn't concede less with Fitzpatrick in the side; a player who is about average for a defensive fullback at this level. For me a fit Montano is in the top 5 leftbacks in league 2. That said the quality of leftbacks in this league is distinctly average.

Yeah I do agree. I do think there is always a chance to swap 1/2 players depending on the opposite though, whether we want to be more attacking or more defensive. 
 

Agree with Monty I like him at left back think we’re a far better side with him playing there

More confident today than for several weeks. Looking for 7 or 8s performances  from most of our players and if they give that then hopefully the result should take care of itself.

Despite my being hopeful of avoiding calamity, even before the last 2 results, things were starting to get a little anxious.

like yourself I feel more confident.  Hopefully the players do too and that should allow them to play with a bit more freedom than 2 weeks ago.  That, and the return of some key players, should really help in the coming weeks.

I'll give you Haynes at Newport, miles better than Montano and Bramhall
