The suggestion of Bryne in central midfield is an all timer. I’ve not been impressed with him so far but if Powell can’t start I’d like to see Cotterill in attacking midfield in place of Paddy. Apart from that the team picks itself due to injures. Ben MSH - Horsfall - Pye - Touray Croasdale Camps - Bailey Powell/Cotteril Woots - Tanto Yet you are suggesting Cotterill as a attacking midfielder who has never played that position either? You might think Byrne in midfield is a daft idea not people laughed when Danny Bergara tried Jim Gannon and Tony Dinning, both centre halves, in midfield. That is literally his favoured position…. For the record, I don’t think Cotteril is the ‘answer’ - nor do I think he’s been any good since coming here. But I said I think he’d be a better option than a knackered Paddy who has shown in recent weeks that he cannot play the role of attacking midfield.

Sorry if my reply came across as a bit dismissive and credit you are trying to think our of the box to solutions romstocking withthe same formula that isn't working For Sat I'd give Madden a try up front alongside Wootton. For me last night Madden looked a bit naffed off like someone mentioned he didnt look to happy at Morcambe either.

Yes and I hope to see the first away league win of the season Good on you it can't be easy making that journey when you're having a season like this, if you're having a beer before the match I'll buy you a pint. Maybe after the match to celebrate our win

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! 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. When I started going to County again in 1990 after a 7 year break (got arrested at Telford 1983) I didn’t know JG was a CB and he was brilliant in midfield. CB and CDM's are interchangeable in my view, if it's the right player of course. I'd give Byrne a go there and take some of the pressure off Croasdale.

Unfortunately the only other option is Pye, whilst solid he offers less than Touray going forward. We’re really missing Rydel that’s for sure, his creativity from full back is unmatched at this level.

Taken from Sutton forum
"At the end of our last game we had, by my reckoning, eleven players out injured (though that total includes long-term absentee Jon Barden). Our defence was almost decimated, with midfielders having to fill the gaps."

Two teams in poor form. Low scoring draw 1.1 DC right about crowd part to play to try and get us the win.

They've had, what by the sound of it ,has been a mighty bollocking. Expecting the right response. These are the games where its important too grind out a 1-0 victory .So its definitely time for a tight defensive line up, which has to be a priority. For me its a 1-5-3-1-1. Ben, Back three of Byrne,Wright and Horsfall. MHS and Pye wing backs. 3 centre midfielders, Camps,Croasdale and Bailey and Powell in a free role behind Woots. Which also allows us to give Paddy and Tanto a break, yet with the added bonus of a bit of quality on the bench if needed . Champs Orient had nine 1-0 victories last season so far we've had two !

It’s nailed on that Omari Patrick is going to score against us again, so we’ll be needing to score twice in the league for the first time in nearly a month.

Hardly unheard of. Like the old method of talking in % terms to make things sound more extreme than they really are. “We’re going to have to score 100% more goals than we did against Morecambe!” vs “We’ll have to score one more than we did against Morecambe”.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see DC throw a wild one in there this weekend. Would like to see Pye revert to LB as matscfc suggested last night. Believe MSH took a whack last night so would expect to see Knoyle/Wright drop in there.
Diamond probably picks itself although not overly sure if Madden can do 3x 90 minute games in a week so could be a change in formation. Sounds like Powell probably fit enough for the bench
Front 2 has to remain Wootton & Tanto for me.
Any sort of win will do.

Two teams in poor form. Low scoring draw 1.1 DC right about crowd part to play to try and get us the win. That's what I'm feeling. 1-1. Before losing the nucleus of our midfield I was confident of a successful Xmas period, I was confident of wins against Sutton & Notts County, maybe a draw at Barrow because we seem to struggle up there, beat Bradford then go into the Mansfield game full of confidence & give them a good game. Now I'm thinking apart from the Sutton game where at best we may just scrape a win I can't see us picking up 3 points until the new year. We look tired with little option to change things up & have reverted to that very predictable style of play that we saw for a large chunk of last season, lot's of possession but very little cut & thrust.
