I'm starting to think 352 is worth a go. We do have the players for that.MUST WIN GAME!
Not sure we have the right players this season for a 433, and I hate 4231, so if it were me picking the team and formation, I'd go for a change of system:
We need goals!! Taylor needs help!! Get two up top!!
Stevens
Long Moore Atkinson Ruffels
Gorrin
Forde Mcguane
Sykes
Henry Taylor
SUBS: Agyei, Kelly, Hall, Mous, Clare, Obita, Eastwood
Henry could do a good job in the Sheringham/Cantona role, providing useful support and assists for Taylor, and chipping in with his fair share of goals as well.
Give Sykes a go at the tip of a diamond, or if he and Robbo can't kiss and make up, then give Hall a go, as he also looks pretty usefull, with good skill, and some neat and tidy play when he plays more centrally, and either him or Sykes could be a useful link between midfield and attack.
Ruffels is struggling a bit, that much is obvious, but he's been part of a defence that has seemed a lot more settled and solid recently, so at the moment, I wouldn't change the back four.
Gotta get the goals flowing, so it's time for Robbo to show a bit of tactical versatility, because 433 ain't working.
Quite simply we have to grab this game by the scruff of the neck and get three points to really kick start the season, no excuse. They are down there with us, have injury worries, and quite frankly are a poor team.This has got to deliver 3 points. We must be better than Northampton. Hope that Atkinson is fit again.
I'd rather have the pace from the start, and not rely on the last 15 minutes to get at them.Can't see any changes to the starting 11 if everyone is fit. Late pace from the bench. Strength of opposition should see us able to be more aggressive.

I don't think full back is Obita's natural position. As said on the after game radio chat yesterday his best position is as a wide attacking midfield player. He also is better than Shodipo (who goes missing for large parts of games and is worse than Agyei at tracking back) at getting crosses in.Stevens
Long Moore Mousinho Obita
Hanson Gorrin
Henry McGuane Shodipo
Taylor
3 changes.
Mousinho in for injured Atkinson.
Shodipo in for Ruffels. Obita drops to his natural position.
Hanson in for Kelly.
Obitas natural position is not left back I believe.Stevens

That’ll be a clash of two poor teams then. No disputing we’ve been very poor so far.Quite simply we have to grab this game by the scruff of the neck and get three points to really kick start the season, no excuse. They are down there with us, have injury worries, and quite frankly are a poor team.
Hope so, but we dont have a particularly good record against them in recent seasons.home win ...and back to winning ways at last, 3-0
