Regarding team selection what would you have picked? I can't see realistically any major changes who else can come in other than Sang/Weir/Debrah. I probably would have started Sang but can't really say the pool of choice is that great at the moment. 

Loft would not be on the pitch, although I thought Massey played ok, I’d rather Sang start. Start with Mighten up front with Chislett behind him. Lowe has been crap all season in midfield so I’d have played either Weir or Walters in that position.

Thing is, he isn't anywhere near as good and lord knows what anyone is raving about. Still he may get you three wins in the next 20 games, only five years left by then. Enjoy.

We will wait and see but Huddersfield are crap anyway son despite who they have as manager they will be playing division 1 football either next season or the season after.

Loft is not good enough and I would not be starting him. But as one of our only strikers we don't have a lot of choice. Whilst I cant see him scoring he puts a lot more effort in than Wilson who has gone quiet again after his contract extension. Walters has not really shown he is ready for league one and don't think we should be relying on our youngsters in a relegation scrap.

Walters has shown a lot more than Lowe in midfield, I think Mighten would do better than Loft up front and punch Chislett further up where Wilson plays as he is consistently our biggest goal threat.

That would be an improvement on our current form tbf

Another huge game, no doubt end in defeat.

On a side note, Arblaster on the bench for Sheff U against Brighton today.

Wilson consistently our biggest goal threat? Come off it mate 😂 how many has he scored this year. He needs dropping he’s been trash. He’s got 4 goals Nathan smith has 2! The fact our strikers don’t have more than 5 league goals between them is a disgrace pal. I agree stick Mighten up top or behind the strikers alongside Chislet & garrity if he’s back. Hopefully he is 🙏

He’d of been better staying with us than warming the bench up in another relegation battle 😅 3 consecutive home games they’ve now conceded 5 goals! I thought we had it bad 😳

That’s what I was saying, push Chislett further up replacing Wilson.

They must be ready to kill their directors if our fans are anything to go by.

[JoeB2]

Ripley

Sang Debrah Lopata Grant

Ojo Weir

Chislett Wilson Mighten

Loft

 

Garrity, Gore, and Clark slot straight into that team when fit.

Sadly we are highly recommend and likely to loose this ONE yet again....

 

That being the case we are DOWN IMO....

 

I PIN my hopes on the 💩HITE in south Stoke doing the SAME ....
