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

Coming on as sub is different than starting.

They can't do much worse than the majority of them who are in the starting 11 at the moment , can they ? 🤔

I'd go 442 & try to become more difficult to break down. Need to fix one thing at a time & get points ticking over.

Ripley

Debrah RB

Lowe CB

Smith CB

Jones/Yak if Jones is crocked LB

Massey RW

Sang/Garrity if fit CM

Ojo CM

Mighten LW

Chislett in the hole roaming behind

Wilson CF

Can't see us getting anything at Reading but some absolutely huge home games coming up that are now pretty much in the must win category. Lincoln, Fleetwood & Shrews.

Not starting lopata? Thought he was one of the very few players who looked up for it last time out. Made some good tackles, got stuck in & was communicating more than most. Absolutely criminal playing Lowe instead of the polish psychopath 

[ginge]

These are the players I'd go with.

                     Ripley

      Debrah Smith Lopata

Massey                           Grant

             Sang Weir Ojo

                  Chislett

                   Wilson 

 

If Garrity fit he'd be in

This looks about the best possible team from a Z list of candidates but put lopata instead of Lowe and I’d look at Lomax and Shorrock as despite youth, they’ve got a bit of tenacity. 
 

players I would never want to see play…..

Loft

Lowe

Grant

smith

 

they are the worst

Ripley , RwB Lomax, LWB shorrock, CB Lapota , Lacoviti LCB, Debrah RcB,, Sang DM , Ojo CM , Chislett CM ,Garrity CF  & Wilson CF That's worth a shot

They have quick and athletic players. That doesn't bold well. 

Can only see us conceding another few once again. For me the season is over anyway, I'm just looking forward to the summer rebuild.

Yeah mate a massive clearout  is needed at our club  Fraudcroft has  got to be the first name on that hit list # ger him gone and the players who don't give a flying f###  , get them binned off as well , clear the decks  👍

Tell me what Wilson offers more than loft of late? At least loft throws himself into tackles, puts effort in & wins headers. Don’t think I’ve seen Willo win a header all season even if it’s pin pointed onto his head he ducks or moves out the way! If we persist with a back 3 I agree with your selection I think that’s the best we go for. Looks a solid back 3 on paper but weak as piss in real time 😅

Garrity is fit , That's what DM says 

Grant , Massey and Smith 

Don't deserve a place in the 11 , imo

To be fair mate Wilson isn't getting the service  he needs at the moment and he's more of a  goal threat than Loft who  couldn't score in a brothel at the moment 

[MBE]

Stone

Gibbo Smith Hall

Woz Pett Taylor Benning

Wilo Harratt

This lot would get a result at Reading rather these bloody soft losers.

Yeah I'd agree with that. But out of the two of them even a lazy Wilson still looks more likely to score.
