Fantastic win on Saturday but I really think this gives us more up front:

Hall and Stockley >

Brown and Waine <

That’s what I’d go with. 

I'm not enamoured with Brown up front but not convinced by Stockley either unless we are really playing positively and our wide players can get high. (Hope we do play with more positivity)

Definitely would go Hall for Waine, don't think there's any contest there.

Just hope we get a striker in through the door, top priority for me.

What would people thoughs be on a national league striker signing, rather than a youth from premier league or championship?

I think most people would shout Ollie Pearce. 

I haven't seen him to play to know what kind of striker he is.

Sorry, wrong thread. Pearce is too old. I'll post in the proper transfer one.

Have to win this. Simple as that or yesterday is all for nothing.

I honestly don't think yesterdays team can win a home game playing like that, plus our midfield looked like it was treading water towards the end. It was a big physical and mental effort yesterday, I would make a few changes.

We need a passer in midfield at home so I would push Humphreys into that role and give Gabriel another chance at RB with Hall. Thats a lot pace down the right side.

I'd go

Gaucci

Gabriel John Hall Gordon

Croasdale Humphreys

Hall  Garrity Archer

      Stockley

 

I'm not too fussed what side is picked for this one, just so long as they give their absolute all for the badge, fans and their own professional pride. 

If we had picked battlers instead of bottlers from the get go we wouldn't be in this position. It really is an indictment on the previous management that they seemingly placed no importance whatsoever on the most basic requirement of any professional sportsman. It may well still be too late and we are heading for league two, but I can handle that if we have a team that I can identify with, rather than a collection of overrated, overpaid gutless losers. 

 

I quite like the look of Ethon Archer in Leyton’s game hopefully he can deliver 

So, seeing as Martin has been at Everton since 2019 I imagine he would have played with Kyle and Eli for Everton's u21s.

You can certainly tell we’ve won a game from threads.

2 huge games now. 6 points from these will get players and fans believing.

I can’t see it looking at the teams  it but it’s nice to a bit of hope.

3 games against fellow dossers in the league now. Win all 3 and you'd imagine we'll be getting within touching distance of 23rd.

Tomorrow is big we at home so need be on front foot ,so many games we have deserved be winning in first 20 ,it will make all the difference as it gives confidence the early goal and gives everyone something fight for as saturday proved .

We arent all of a sudden going be Barcelona but that win sat could give us a bit of CONFIDENCE 

Im iffing and rring go before work as get that wound  up ,going work after is tough on  me physically and mentally,55 now , as usually need a good 4 hrs after game too come down from the trauma of watching Vale .

I cannot imagine it being a big crowd but hopefully sat put some on gate (renewed hope and all that )

Team id go as we not away and some put in 100 mins on sat so id go 

       Gauci 

John Humpreys Hall Gordon 

       Walters Croasdale Archer 

               Garrity 

          Stockley Sherif 

I think Rico Richards in them 20 min cameos can produce whats missing so id recall him from Walsall .

Enjoy the game

We can't recall Richards. No idea why people keep suggesting it.
