Game thread against Luton

[MCR ADIM]

am proberly going to get shot down here, but here goes.

Paul Mullin works hard all game is a good holder of the ball, scores quite a few aswell and good passing skills and Lindfield works well with him but, how about in the 2nd half bring Mullinoff and put Kallum upfront with Lindfield and have Turner, Ryan, Miles and kissock in midfield this way we have two young lads upfront Kallum can score as he did against us when he was at rochdale and so can Lindfield. They can both work of each other instead of one of them always working of Mullin and they will run with the ball at the defence. Same with Turner i rate him alot, and i think he should start more games than he has this season. He has alot of pace and can take on the defence and usualy is succesfully in takeing on the oppostion and gettin the ball either in the box or around the 18yard area. Same goes for Kissock on the other side. Ryan plays well in the middle always works hard to get the ball and pass it around and put shots in. It proberly will not happen but its just a suggestion.

Good ideas mcr adim, but there's nothing really wrong with Paul being up front. The pure and simple fact is that our midfield give him a negligible amount of decent service.
As a classic goal poacher, balls in the onion bag are hard to come by when your only way of obtaining the ball is to track back 40 yards, or to challenge two defenders for the 156th long ball from the 'keeper.

yep mullins a great servant n decent goal scorer, may just be me but i reckon 90 mins is getting a bit much, reckon he will last even longer if used fer 45 mins.

I think he'd last longer if all he had to do was concentrate on what he does best - popping the spherical thing into the netted thing.

As it is he's knackering himself out chasing down balls that really the younger midfielders should be getting and crossing over to 'our Paul'.

Watch the goal Chris Turner set up against Barnet - this is what we should be trying to achieve every game!

thats what am trying to get at! that goal was quailty great run and confidence by Turner to take on the defenders and put it in the box and Mullin just tapped it in. We should use the wings more often specialy when we have people like Turner, Kissock, Grant, McConville on them. They all have good quailty. Than when the ball gets punched out by the keeper or headed out by a defender, Jimmy Ryan is waiting to smash one into the back of the net.

Seems simple, dunnit?

What would we know!

Stanleys problem has been the lack of a decent foil for Mullers. He is better than he has ever been at keeping the ball and bringing others into play, but as pointed out, whilst he is doing that there is nobody in the 18 yard box. His last decent partner was Gary Roberts (Gornell not really here long enough, or ours etc etc).

I'd like to see one of our surplus wingers being used as Gary was, imagine Turner with his surging runs starting 20 yards further upfield!!!

would like to see turner start a match playing 20 yds up.think it would be very positive.
