I'm going this for a lineup

Ripley

Hall Debrah Smith

Cover Grant Chis Mitch

             Curtis

 Stockley.       Tolaj

Good effort 5 out of 11.

With DM anything 6 or over is exceptional. 

Not too bad. I knew Shorrock would be back in after being dropped out the squad again. Deborah shouldn’t be in the 11 made countless errors. I’d still like to see Curtis and tolaj getting a run of games but it’s not a bad line up

Stockley injured?  Was hoping Garrity would have been on the bench today , must not be ready yet 

This is a must win today for me personally. .

3 points is a must 

I just hope with this line up we'll keep it on the floor and actually play some decent football 

Goooooarn you cheeky whites.. UTV VTID

Attacking team on paper. Let’s hope they attack

Fitness permitting, I'm not sure I'd do much different to be honest. 

John probably not fit to start. Argument for Tolaj/Curtis in the front 3 but Paton has been having a slightly better time of it of late.

It’s an interesting lineup and as ever we don’t know how it will play out but I think I like it or don’t hate it at least. For the love of god though with Paton and Hackford don’t go aerial and play to their strengths instead. Keep it on the ground and let them work the channels.

Please no lumpy ball today as we have no chance playing that way today 

Wonder if Paton is in midfield, didnt he slot there Thursday?

It's not the team that's going out, it's the tactics that they've been given that worries me so much

No Stockball so surely we playing nice triangles and slip Hackford through with his pace, although his finishing at times leaves a lot to be desired.

He will be stuck out wide & coming inside off Hackford. Croasdale & Chiz will be the midfield pairing. Would have rather seen Tolaj as the number 9 today with Stockley out. Can see why Shorrock starts as John & Hart are returning from injuries. Come on Vale 💪🏻 Along with Smithy in for Debrah I don’t see much else he could have gone for today

Dm has no choice but to play debrah if he is fit because without him we have the slowest back three in world football and personally I don't think debrah has done badly at all its henegans job to dominate the box and halls job to play out debrah is there to provide much needed pace. Smith was utter <ovf censored> last time he played and I used to be a fan so for me he has to wait his chance and sort his head out plus he is as slow as heneghan.
