I certainly hope the players aren't taking 3 points at FGR for granted, because by not playing your best team that is what you are doing. If players have a niggle or advised by medical to have break then sure, otherwise we should go with our best available 11 and get the job done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGR have to win at some point too. Something like 16 without a win is ridiculously bad. In seasons gone by this is exactly the type of match we’d lose. 16 games and three months without a win!

OxonOwl Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 If we were 24 unbeaten, coming in off a decent result against Barns we might be complacent or over confident. After a mixed performance and a defeat, a bounce back win is to be expected, IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I’m certain the players will want to get straight back to winning ways? We’ve lost that monkeys off our back the pressure gone, they’ll want to right the wrongs from Tuesday night ! Despite our lacklustre start and gifting them 2 goals we then took control of most of the remaining game and if we’d taken our chances we’d have won! Expecting a professional performance Sunday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xploreowl Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Start with Fizz, he’s just regaining his match fitness, he’s just a bit rusty, he’ll soon pick up his form, still one of our highest scorers this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more important if we lose, everyone secretly thinks we’ll come through this, imagine the melt downs that would come and the confidence our rivals would take if we do mess this one up.

Owls1963 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 First time posting after many years of reading. for something completely different, been coaching for many years/my gut feeling, move Palmer to a Forward Striker he’s hungry he’s fast, with Shipston . Put Smith on the right midfield.. let them run at the defense, forcing the defenders to defend more, leaving the midfield of ours open for longer shots.

Dawson iorfa Flint James Palmer vaulks Bannan Bakinson Johnson Smith Gregory Subs Stockdale Hunt Brown Dele Adenrian Wilks Famewo this isn’t a famewo dropping ( as he been excellent recently ) its simple rotation only other option is to put famewo central and bench flint , again nothing to do with performances just concerned we play Sunday Wednesday and then Saturday . Really need to be getting the likes of Pato windass Byers ikky all back asap . Hopefully all being well we are well clear after 65 mins and we can get the likes of Gregory / smith rested up and same for baz / one of the cbs That's my team as well. We'll see loads of the ball on Sunday so I'd play James to bring it out from the left centre half spot and push Johnson forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 We have no need to make panic decisions and make whole sale changes. I just feel of the players who have looked tired over the last 2 games then rest Flint, to the bench, and play Adeniran in midfield to give us some energy in that department, with James on the bench to replace him if needs be.
