Saturdays Team

[cliff]

What sort of team can we expect for Saturday with Ben being back. Personally I would like to see Ben in for Warner. Maybe play Crabby for the first hour or so instead of Anton. Otherwise leave leave it alone.......any thoughts

Here goes! I saw the FT game Away and the way that we dealt with their obvious footballing quality was to put them under pressure with well organised attacks, giving them little time to counter and with little time to set up their search for our goal.
Corneille was good running down the wing, D Simmonds was on that occassion in cracking form, and struck a sweet shot from 25 yards out, so we need to keep having a crack at their goal, NOT, try and walk the ball into the net Midfield pushed up, as I remember, with each wave.
Their No7 Ashley Sastanovich (spelling?) is a big strong boy and will cause problems, but does fade. He scored against us in our 3-2 win.
We need to be mobile, have outlets from defence - runners to receive the ball in space in front of them. We need someone to choreograph the attacks from central Midfield......Storey? And we need to get on with the job in hand and not lose our heads!!!!!!!
Also, Lee Hook needs to command his 18 yrd box and Midfield.....please leave the defenders to defend.
