Marsh is our best rb atm so no need to change that. He's put in more decent crosses in the few games he's played there than Ling and Judd combined.

I'm reluctant to play Wright but don't see any other players who can get forward in that position unfortunately.

Think JMD would be lucky to keep his place.

Angol in for Wilkinson. That is all.

So the same formation and line up that has been tearing up trees these past few games? Like it.

With what we have I don't see many other options.

Also worth pointing out it's 1 loss in 5.

Ling should drop Embleton and get a loan manager in. I'm hearing that Carl Fletcher is still out of work.

Fletch went back to Bournemouth to his old job according to Ling at the meet the chairman evening

Personally there is nothing wrong with the team that a bit of motivation and desire couldn't fix, cos that's what was missing on Saturday.

Personally, if Happe has recovered from his illness, I would go with the same starting Xl as Saturday. We just have to get more of the ball to JMD, without doubt he should be an asset at this level, he has the ability to cross the ball with either foot and can pop up with the odd goal, yet on Saturday he was virtually anonymous .... why?, tactics or lack of them, yet again, in my opinion. Think the fans are definitely deserving of a decent performance, tomorrow night, after Saturday, let's hope the team can deliver, in what once again, should be a very winnable game!

Being a loan manager again?

I wonder how that squares with us continuing to pay his salary until the end of the season.

Macclesfield's financial predicament tends to label them as an easy win. Saturday showed how tight they are defensively and the table shows how few goals they've let in. Scoring goals has been a different story, so O's decided to help them improve that side of the goals tally. Keep hoping Wilkinson and Angol find some scoring form and will be better supplied with final balls.

Same team please but no excuses this time round 4-0.

From what’s been said we paid it upon full and it’s finished with. My understanding is if you are being paid monthly in settlement you can’t get another job, if you do then the settlement is somewhat reduced. I might be wrong, but I do believe that this situation is still in place in football.

RedO wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 10:55 am Because he’s a decent young right back with bags of potential that likes to get forward.

Who would you suggest?

Marsh . He’s miles better at RB than both Judd and Ling

I would replace JMD with Brophy and bring in Widdowson at LB.
Marsh at RB is fine by me, our issues are in front of goal where Wilkinson and Angol need to start performing.

Angol isn’t even playing, why are you singling him out?

Our issue is the midfield failing to create any chances for the strikers.

He’s really not. He offers nothing going forwards. I reckon he played more backwards passes than Wright on Saturday.

But even if he was, which he isn’t, I’d still play Judd there because

1) we need Marsh in midfield alongside Cisse to get rid of Wright and Clay

2) Judd is our player and needs games to fulfil his obvious potential.

I would accept Marsh staying at RB if it meant Hector coming in alongside Cisse, though.
