Your squad choices

Post by gshaw »

Amongst all the discussions on socials and on here one thing that's been noticeably missing is any talk from fans of bringing XYZ player in to make a difference.

Usually you'd get debates over whether your impact striker should be starting or a different midfielder would be better etc but there seems none of that at the moment. Is that the fans admitting to themselves we haven't got any decent options to try?

The likes of Warrington, Jaiyesimi aren't even challenging the bench which seems a really bizarre situation to be in so soon after arriving.

Jayesimi isn't fit enough yet, Graham isn't fit enough, Archibald isn't fit, O'Neill isn't at it, Perkins can do one & leave Agyei isn't scoring neither is Kelman.
It's not just the Bench we are having problems with

Why not play Agyei as no 9? Richie signed DJ & Warrington not Ling

In all honesty there’s not much I would change because we haven’t got options in the key places.

But I’d start with dropping O’Neill. I like the lad but in the current system, it’s like playing with 10 men.

I’d be tempted to go Obeiro on the left, Graham on the right and Ageyi down the middle. Zech and Galbraith are the only players we have who show for the ball and can take us up the pitch.

Tempting to give prats a go. Ain’t got 90 mins in him but would put in some tackles and valued experience but it’s clutching a bit.

Keeley

James Happe Beckles currie

Ball pratley

Graham Galbraith Obeiro

Ageyi

You get O’Neill and Kelman as impact players when the defence is tired this way too
