TEAM FOR BARNET

[Saracen10]

Making some assumptions on fitness I'd go with two holding midfielders, Lennox and Andy G on the flanks, Macca in the hole behind Madjo

Gilmartin (he was in total command of his area on Tuesday)

Berry
Purse
Blanchard (Richards if Maxi unfit as he is naturally left footed and can also cover left back if required)
Griffiths S

Young
Hourihane

Gurreri
Lennox

Macca

Madjo

Bench; Cole, Richards (if Maxi fit), Nelson , Feeney, Griffiths, PCH, Simms

 

[run PAFC]

My team would be..

Cole

berry
nelson
richards
griffiths

cowan-hall
young
hourihane
gurrieri

macdonald
madjo

---------------------Griffiths-----------------------

Bench: Gilmartin, Purse, Nelson, Bhasera, PCH, Madjo, Feeney.

Still unsure about the strength in the spine of the team but who else have we got?

I'd go for a very similar line-up, although I would bring in Nelson for Richards and set up like this:

Swap Paris for Macca, Madjo for Griffiths. Then that's my side.

Bhasera is in Africa so he won't travel. I'd put Copp on the bench in his place.

Also if Feeney is still injured, then Sims in his place. If Blanchard is still injured then Nelson to first team (Hourihane as captain) and Chadwick (Cause there's no-one else) up to the bench,

Blanch is still injured, Fletch said today he back in training but not doing heading yet due to his concussion.

With Collins John in the team, Barnet will probably go a bit more 'direct'. For the great saves Cole has made this season, he needs more command of his box. Gilmartin demonstrated he could do just that on Tuesday.

The best goalkeeper I have seen down here countless times was Birmingham's Maik Taylor. An absolute beast of a goalkeeper in the air which gave his defense so much confidence.

Bring PCH on later to run at tired legs.

 

[HarlHM]

Is that so? Disappointed. Purse back then, as you say.

 

[The Eleventh Hour]

Gilmartin (he was in total command of his area on Tuesday)

He punched one cross (well) in the first half but absolutely fumbled one in the second (luckily enough he was 'impeded'). I'm not sure that makes him in total command of his area - compared to Cole, yes.

 

[Dan Ellard]

Agree if Blanchard is injured, would play Purse - too risky to play two youngsters at centre-back in a game as big as this.

I think it would be very harsh to not play Cole, he has probably been our player of the season so far!

 

[esmer]

I would start with Tuesday's team with Madjo instead of Chadwick and if fit recall Purse and Blanchard, although I wouldn't be disappointed to see Nelson and Richards playing. I'd maybe bring in MacDonald for Lennox who could come off the bench later, on Tuesday's form he would make a great impact player. I think it's important to keep the same formation with Gureirri in the hole, that worked very well against Aldershot. Play with the same intensity, work hard and press when they have the ball and pass well and retain the ball when we have possession and three points are in the bag.

i would make 3 changes from tuesday .cole back in goal,rhys in for chads and alex mac alongside rhys in place of gurieri.we must start a winning league run and tomorrow will do nicely

Griffiths

Subs: Gilmartin, Blanchard, Madjo, Copp, PCH, Chadwick

I know people will be screaming out for Madjo to start, but I really want to see what Rhys can do when given time on the pitch and after a bit of match practice.
central defence, I would say let Purse have his injection and rest up. Let's see what these youngsters can do in a league situation. Good for Max to be eased back in rather than thrown in at the start, could also be used as a defensive midfielder.
