Hanson Gorrin
Henry Brannagan Fosu
Taylor

Mous, Hall, Baptiste, Woodburn, Agyei, Mackie, Long

 

[Canterbury exile]

For the away game i would also be tempted to revert to 2 DCMs and free Branagan to play in 10 role. Harsh on Woodburn and Forde but agree with above line up

 

[Didcot Yellow]

Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffles
Baptiste(if fit) Gorrin
Fosu Brannagan Woodburn
Mackie

Subs: Taylor, Mous, Hanson, Agei, Sykes, Henry , Long

I'd bring Taylor on for Mackie in the second half and go 433. If Baptiste is not fit I'd start Hanson.

Hanson Mousinho
Brannigan
Fosu Mackie Forde​

 

[Belgium Yellow]

It's one of those games where the former player tries to hard and it doesn't come off. So I'd bring Taylor on from the bench.

 

[mickbrownsconscience]

We need two defensive midfielders. I would go with
Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Rodrigues Mousinho
Brannagan
Henry Taylor Fosu

Forde if Fosu is not fit

 

[Mad Dog]

Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Hanson Gorrin Brannagan
Henry Taylor Fosu

SUBS: Mackie, Baptiste, Forde, Woodburn, Mous, Long, Stevens
​

Need to play 4-3-3 to allow Taylor to be more affective, with better support in the final third.
If Fosu isn't ready to start, then swap him with Woodburn

Baptiste will. I guess eased back in after 2 serious injuries.

Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Gorrin
Henry Brannagan
Forde Taylor Fosu

I dont think Forde can be dropped after Tuesday. Give Woodburn a run of the bench.

 

[Sarge]

A winning team will do me

How can Forde be dropped after a goal and assist Tuesday?

 

[Davox]

How can Forde be dropped after a goal and assist Tuesday?

Exactly! If Woodburn for example had got a goal and an assist he’d be in everyone’s team. He has to start Saturday

Brannagan’s not as affective in the no.10 role.

Gorrin Brannagan
Henry Woodburn Forde
Taylor

As long as Taylor is fit enough for two games back to back, you have to look to start him and give the team time to read his runs etc. Woodburn wasn't great on Tuesday but I think him and Taylor through the middle could develop a great partnership. Forde had a good game Tuesday and also offers more stability than Fosu, who may come on late with pace to stretch Rovers. Henry still needs to find his end product, but no reason to change anything on the right just yet. Moore coming in for Mous is the most obvious change. I think Mous has done well this season, but Moore is here to replace him eventually and we can't afford any more slip ups.

Result - Rovers 1, United 3!

 

[dickwalton1964]

Yes , the best line-up for me as well. Spot on!

How on earth is that the best line up ? The one natural goal scorer we have is on the bench and probably our best player so far this season and second most likely goal scorer also on the bench !

If one goal in eight Mackie starts ahead of Taylor then the world has officially gone mad !

 

[uptheus]

I’d start Mackie Saturday.

Eastwood
Cadden, Dickie, Moore, Ruffels
Gorrin (if fit), Brannagan
Forde, Woodburn, Fosu (if fit)
Mackie

Subs: Stevens, Taylor, Henry, Mous, Skyes, I mean Hall, Agyei & Baptiste (if kit)

If Gorrin isn’t fit I’d put Mous in there. If Fosu isn’t fit I’d put Woodburn on left and bring in Henry. If Baptiste isn’t fit I’d replace him on the bench with Long.
