Suspensions

[JEFF]

Proccy and Bateson suspended for three games.

Should be able to replace with Putterill and Richardson/Hall.

Good to have a reasonable sized squad.

unsure about puttrell for proctor,you need a physical presence as an holding midfielder in this league so i would go for murphy with puttrell coming in for a n other.
Good to see Burton on the mend,He will be a top player if he stays fit,hope he gets a run out soon,he deserves a bit of luck

[shakermaker]

If the formation stays the same, surely it ought to be Joyce (the League 2 Gareth Barry) in for Procter and Putterill in for McConville?

[Whalley Red]

Agree on Murphy.

I'd expect Razor to take Andy Parkinson's place in the starting eleven on Saturday.

[football19]

fair point shakermaker,but i think joyce is more of a ball player not ball winner,what about deano moved to right back and liam in at left back or just bring liam in at right back ( hes right footed anyway )
I would give owens a run at centre back to freshen things up ( but who do you drop).It would be a big decision to rest phil so it would have to be hessey

[football19]

what about owens in the proctor role ? food for thought that one,and we still retain a bit of height in the team

[shakermaker]

Maybe Coley will try something completely different and go with wing-backs? He seems to favour that kind of change late on in games. Something like:

Dunbavin
Richardson Edwards Owens Hessey Winnard
Ryan Barnett Putterill
Gornell Boulding

It's nice to have flexibility, versatility and depth in the squad for once; being able to play different formations that are less static than the traditional 4-4-2.

Agree with Owens Shaker, as Andy Proctor was the one winning most of the high balls from Goalkicks etc, and thus a bit of height at the back seems an imperative !.
Plus, someone with defensive pace to nullify the threat posed by 'the sneaky le Fondre'!, who, though apparently despised by many, still keeps on scoring on a regular basis!.
But having regained some confidence after the Bury fracas, the squad ought to be able to absorb the shock felt from the suspensions !!.

Will be interesting to see the changes Coley makes on Saturday, nice to have a few options.

Can personally see Leam coming straight into the side at either full back postion.

As for centre midfield I think its a straight fight between Joyce and Murphy.

Good to have Razor back in the squad, though I think he might have to settle for a place on the bench.

[DAV007]

I would like us to go 4-4-2 and drop Parkinson.

He doesnt have the stamina to play effectivly for 90 mins and would be a useful impact sub.

[VALAIRIAN]

5 Yellows gets you a ban, what happens in the case of somebody like Proc, who had a yellow before his red?? He is serving a 3 match ban, does his previous yellow still count, or is he back to zero???? Cheers for replies

[JEFF]

Kevin Long suspended for one game.

[smudgie]

More defensive shuffling needed!!

Bavs
Leam Edwards Hessey Winnard
Joyce
Ryan Barnett
Mcconville Parkinson
Gornell

Harsh decision from the ref (penalty would have been punishment enough even though Le Fondler seemed to start his dive outside the box) but the suspension could have been worse.

Nearly a team of midgets. Whose going to take Hereford's beast of a centre forward?
