Ripley

Sang Debrah Lopata Grant

Ojo Weir

Chislett Wilson Mighten

Loft

 

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

 

We concede 3 goals when starting with 3 defenders. You intend to improve our defence by playing only 2 defenders!

(Sang and Grant couldn't tackle a bag of cement, or win a header against it or stop a cross...)

When Garrity is fit I'd argue he's a bigger goal threat than Wilson. I've not seen enough of Mighten yet and I'm not convinced Walters would make much of a difference to Lowe. Either way Moore us working from a small pool of players who none are really a proven massive improvement on what he picked. 

Definitely agree with Garrity and although Walters isn’t proven yet, Lowe has proven to be poor in midfield

Sang is not a defender in my opinion. 

More suited to playing in midfield 🙂

Well it's a Tuesday so why do we bother ! Just send someone down with eleven shirts and a washing line probably do as well as the team.

Sang is more suited playing in a nativity play.

He’s not a wing back for me mate. Far too slow & doesn’t get forward enough or pose any sort of threat offensively. Hasn’t got the legs to be up & down the pitch that a wing back requires. Couldn’t beat a man save his life. I’d have him as a right back just defending but he shouldn’t really be anywhere near our starting 11 let’s have it right.

See what you are saying, but do you see Debrah or Smith doing all that?

Not at all mate that’s why the wing backs needs to get binned off until Clark comes back really & Plant even tho I don’t like plant at lwb to be honest. I’d have a back 4 next game try something different I’d have Jesse smith Lopata yak myself.

Sang is far more effective than Massey playing on the right side. He's stronger defensively and puts better crosses into the box. 

Grant is utter garbage on the left and Shorrock should be playing on the left in his place.

Lomax and shorrock would give you passion and fight which are sadly lacking in the current squad barring a few players.

Let's not kid ourselves there's only a few players who are fighting for the badge at the moment the rest of them are hiding , DM can see that but he's got to try and polish several turds at the same time, it's a monumental cluster fu#k of a job all thanks to Fraudcroft who has thrown him under the bus

For what it's worth it's an absolute scandal that we are having to go back there after the protest and I cannot believe the club have so meekly accepted it. We'll have virtually no support thanks to it being replayed midweek. 

It should have been played at a neutral venue or behind closed doors at Reading.

They started away at Carslile and were subbed at half time they were bad.

Coming on as sub is different than starting.
