Not sure why Cotteril is coming into the discussion for Saturday. He has looked miles off. For me, it’s the fresh legs. I don’t think you can put out that same four again. I also think he’s shown glimpses of his technical ability. He’s nowhere near the standard we have elsewhere but I think there is a player there. If Powell is fit, I’m not sure I’d risk him from the start - think he’d suit the Notts County game more.

Odin Bailey's spent the majority of his games on the left side of a diamond, when he would often be found down the left side. Croasdale's in the same position in your suggested team. I wouldn't worry anyway, it's not the most egregious suggestion in there. My question was where in my original post had I even remotely suggest a line up or system where Croasdale would be "Croasdale bombing down the left wing, whipping in a few crosses on his weaker foot. " You are quick to pull others up for "telling lies" yet dont seem to apply the same rule to yourself... It was a fairly light-hearted rib, to be honest, but by all means be mard about it if you like.

Fair enough, let's just hope Suttons midfield is weak as well. They’re bottom of the league so it’s probably fair to assume it is. Like you we also have a number injury problems. Hopefully one or two will return for us on Saturday. I'm sure Tanto will be up for the game!

Not mard at all, just find it a bit rich you are quick to jump on anyone else's opinion a flag up "lies" within seconds of a post been made. My suggestion may be a load of boll0cks but it is at least a attempt to try something different to a midfield currently limited by injuries and failing badly. Some like to think 'oh hes listed as a defender he must play there or hes a striker he must play there' Tommy Sword was signed and listed as a Striker but ended up playing most of his career as a centre half, Danny Bergara got pelters for playing Jim Gannon as a midfielder because he was signed as centre half, ditto Tony Dinning.

True enough that those players were all redeployed to successful effect, as have been plenty of players in different teams over the years. My thoughts in this case would be I'm not sure that I've seen anything in Byrne to suggest he'd be comfortable anywhere outside of centre-half. With others who we've moved about even recently you can see why the manager took the punt based on some evident quslities- eg Collar at wing back,Wright at RWB, even Tanto through the middle as opposed to wide. Not saying outright this one couldn't work; do think it'd be quite an eye-opener though!

No need to be so touchy, your 'Joke' didnt read that way, just mocking and trying to look smart. As I said it was only a suggestion and opinion, no claim or demand it should be implemented or thought more worthy than any other opinion. Anyway I cant be bothered arguing over trivialities so will bid you a good afternoon.

I would like to see Kylan Depeiaza on the bench for Sutton; we are in a rut and this lad could shake things up.
He’s aggressive, quick, and can finish; not saying he’s ready for anything other than cameos as yet but this might be the right time to give him a little go

Thanks for your considered reasoned reply which has raised the bar compared to others I'm no football expert and never claim to be. Regarding Byrne my thinking is in the away game at Aldershot Byrne displayed a ability to run from deep carrying the ball and scoring, shades of Tony Dinning anyone? My thinking is as you have said the short of options in midfield and I think their is a chronic lack of tacklers amongst the pool of fit Midfielders apart from Croasdale and Camps. Wright-cant play the role, Cotterill, Mee & Johnson unproven/only kids at least Byrne can get a tackle in The old saying of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different applies here IMO if we keep playing the same makeshift midfielders that we have during the last six games. I could be proven wrong and Sutton are that poor our midfield comes up trumps on Saturday but it didn't look clever last night and hasn't for a while now.

He's only going to get 15/20 minutes max but that's where a young players starts off and it also gives us an option. Last night our most attacking option was Ashton Mee. A 17 year old midfielder who had played 70 minutes 24 hours earlier.

Camps definitely doesn’t fit the description of ‘tackler’. He’s a number 10, even though we’ve barely played him there.
