Team to face Rochdale?

[beerbantam]

With Topp now out for 4 weeks and Brandon now injured again.

I'd be having....

gk Evans
rb Arnison
lb Heckingbottom
cd Lee (c)
cd Clarke
rm Colbeck
lm Daley
cm McClaren
cm Nix
cf Thorne
cf Boulding

subs. Bollock, Bowser, Fat Barry, Moncur, Gillian's lad

That could be right but I think Nix will be on the bench with Bullock in Mid field

[Skyebantam]

sounds about right to me mall, no sense changing a winning formula too much. hope nix is patient with being on the bench after being one of our best performers last season. i think he will still have a big role to play this season as he has proved his worth to the team at this level already.

I think Stuart needs to get a dedicated left player on loan/transfer market. Its no good having Nix or Daley playing out of position. Ok, fair enough we have strenght in depth at the moment, but what happens if we get someone injured in the centre of the park.

Problem with Daley is that he blows hot and cold. Sounds like he had a good game on the left last week, but I remember when Stuart had a right go at him last season for not performing when he played in that postion.

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

Bullock and McLaren for CM - hard for Nix at the moment but he'll get a chance from the bench.
I'm sure we'll see more players arriving on loan as the season progresses but depends on injuries and form - no point spending more if the results stay good and the squad are fit.

Sharry on the bench instead of Gillian's lad.

Where does it say Brandon is injured again?

Same team that started against Macclesfield!

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

It does Mark lol - just a bit dearer than last season, pies gone up 20p as well.

Bugger! I'll have to raid the piggy bank then! How much for a pint now? Has it smashed through the £4 mark? jawdrop:

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

Cost me £5 for a pint of Carlsberg export and half a coke for junior - 4 star hotel prices - just wish the decor of the BBar justified the expense!

Nothing justifies that Wisey. It's pure exploitation of a captive market. Wankers. I'm glad I'm working.
