Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Brannagan Baptiste
Henry Woodburn Fosu
Agyei

SUBS - Stevens, Mousinho, Hanson, Gorrin, Sykes, Forde, Mackie

Left Out - Long, Hall, Thorne, Taylor
 
I think Taylor will at least feature on the bench and that Mackie will start upfront. Also, as much as I would love to see Brannagan and Baptiste in the middle together, they would still need Gorrin/Mous to sit behind to provide cover.

It might be sticking with the issues we've already seen this year but would imagine that starting line up will be;

Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Gorrin Brannagan
Henry Woodburn Fosu
Mackie

Subs - Stevens, Long, Mous, Forde, Baptiste, Taylor, Agyei
 
Isn’t it about time Agyei was fit? We desperately need some pace up front.

I assume that he is fit having played almost a whole game in the checkatrade game and was on the bench v Fleetwood?
I assume that he will be eased in.
 
Atm it feels like we need XV on the field for league games!

None of the 3 teams you boys have put up so far have anyone who will cover Cadden when he dons his tam o'shanter and races off into the gloaming wielding his skean dhu and getting lost. Which midfielder / winger can do that - do you detail Gorrin?

This might be better

Eastwood
Long Dickie Moore Ruffels
Mousinho
Brannagan Sykes Baptiste
Fosu / Woodburn / Agyei
Mackie / Taylor / Agyei

Apart from Fosu none of the 5 names I've mentioned up front have given me much hope, but Mackie looks like the only blunt object and that's the onlt reason he's mentioned. I can't help thinking that Woodburn and Fosu need to play off someone, I fear Agyei does which would only leave Taylor as a ball-winner. A good partnership can come from these 5, in fact they should be an embarrassment of riches if only the defence wasn't so weak.
 
I don't think you can drop Cadden entirely.

Woodburn Taylor
Which is a shame for Baptiste, Henry, Gorrin, Agyei, Mackie, Sykes etc but at least we'd have some strength on the bench. We need to stop the rot at the back. A '0' in the goals against column over the next two matches would be a huge improvement, never mind how many we score.
 
Obviously a shame for him, but the fact that nobody on this threat has suggested that he start on Saturday (before this news obviously!) probably tells you something...
 
I'm would also like to see cadden being given a chance further forward so for me I would go.

Eastwood

Long
Ruffels
Dickie
Moore

Gorrin
Brannagan

Cadden
Woodburn
Fosu

Mackie or Taylor (if fit)

Yep. The rot has to be stopped and putting Mous in front of the back four worked last season so why not try it again? Moore is still looking very raw so some experience and nous in front of him would help. Playing Woodburn just off Taylor would be worth trying as well. I would say Henry but he looked slow and spent at Fleetwood. He wasn't the only one by any means though!!
 
So I'm confident that I want:

Eastwood in goal
A back four of Long Dickie Moore Ruffels
Mousinho in front of the back four
Brannagan pulling the strings
Taylor up front.

For the other three attacking spots.....I think we actually have a massive number of options.
Perm any three from Baptiste, Cadden, Fosu, Woodburn, Henry & Agyei and I think they'll do some damage against Tranmere.

The other three go on the bench, alongside Mackie, Forde, Stevens & Gorrin.
 
Why do people put Mous in the team
Remember it was Kashi that stopped the rot last year
 
Eastwood
Long, Dickie, Moore, Ruffles
Mousinho
Brannagan, Baptiste
Cadden, Mackie, Fosu

Unfortunate for Henry, he is the unlucky one as he been playing well. Mackie in at the moment because I am not convinced Agyei and Taylor are match ready yet and would rather not risk them from the start, but these 3 give us options off the bench.
