Pickford Symington Chimbonda Edwards Robson Buaben Berrett Noble Byrne Miller Novo You've confused the Plymouth fans on here www.pasoti.co.uk/talk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86073&start=26I went on their boards to see what their fans are saying and they too are quietly confident. I did not realise Nacho Novo plays for them? I think he was quite prolific in the SPL for a few years. Also, they think we'll only take 49. I looked it up and last time we were down there we took 312. |

We are doing well and there is a bit of a buzz round the club at the moment, I would jump at the chance of going if I lived down south.
Saying that I would go if we were doing **** and Kavanagh was manager, just wouldn't look forward to it as much.

Actually wouldn't be surprised if Elliott starts on the left instead of Robson. Matty might not be ready to start a match after being out for 2 months.

I think I read somewhere that they play 3-5-2, in which case i'd play Robson to try and exploit their lack of proper full backs and get a load of crosses in. He will also track back better I think. Then bring Elliott on after 60/70 minutes so as not to overwork Robson. |

Looking at their forums, they're saying that they're hoping they play 3-5-2... clearly it's given them results so we shouldn't be too excited as though they're walking into a trap we've set, but I think that potentially we have the right set-up to do well against a 3-5-2... especially if Amoo is fit. From the sounds of things, and looking at their results, it normally turns into a 5-3-2 for them, but their attackers are good enough that with a solid defence, they're nicking games. Hopefully we can put them under pressure and with players like White, Amoo, Rigg and Dempsey we can unlock their defence. We'll have to be solid in the middle of the park though as that's where they're strongest.

Combine this with Amoo/Potts and we should be a match for any left (wing) backs in the league. Problem is our left is weaker than our right so hopefully they don't have a good right side too. Our midfield and defence on their day I would say are a match for most, if not all, in this league. And when Beck starts banging them in we'll have a quality attack as well. Hopefully all of this comes together on Saturday. |

Hopefully all of this comes together on Saturday. I think that it's their left wing-back Kelvin Mellor who's the bad-fit in the formation, there were a couple of reservations I read about playing him in that position on the Plymouth forum. Just Googling him doesn't tell me much about his position apart from the fact that he's always been a defender, so perhaps a centre-back pushed wide to fit the system, as we did with Murphy once upon a time. Oddly we're spoilt for choice when it comes to left-sided players, especially now Potts and Elliott are under consideration in that position. We could play one of Brough, Robson, Gillies, Kearns, Elliott, Potts, even Amoo's been put there (unwisely) this season. but none that are really making themselves undroppable. |

Gillies or Robson for me, just need people who can find a bit of space to get a cross in. Not seen enough of Kearns to say whether its worth giving him a go but I wouldn't want to try anyone out against a top 7 team. Two of our goals last Saturday came from crosses and I think its obvious that this ought to be our main focus with Beck's height and Rigg's positioning meaning they're likely to score at least one if we play the right balls in. And if their left wing back's a bit iffy then lets hope White and whoever's in right midfield for us have a field day. |

I think, I'm gonna go for this formation. Don't know if we'll have Amoo available, but if we do... If no Amoo then put Potts there and Sweeney in the middle, or put Symington on the right.
Hanford
White Troy Thirlwell Brough
Amoo Potts Dicker Gillies
Beck Rigg
Bench: Caig, O'Hanlon, Robson, Dempsey, Sweeney, Paynter, Elliott (which is a pretty decent bench too)

Dempsey's energy in the middle has been a big factor in us taking control of games recently. It compliments Dicker's role well I think. To take him out would be a mistake imo, unless he needs the rest.

HAHA, the Plymouth fans on their forum have now read our forum and are reporting back that the Novo thing was a wind up
They're relieved that we don't have Nacho Novo though 'Just as well he is not with them!! '
If any Plymouth fan reads this, trust me Novo was useless when he played for us.

Just a thought, Plymouth have scored less goals than us so they are not prolific. With our defence tightened up lately we might have a good chance. Here's hoping

Iliev Beck I assume these are the positions they'll play. Bench: Caig, O'Hanlon, Sweeney, Marrow, Robson, Elliott, Gillies. I think it's now safe to say that Danny Kearns is the player well out of favour. |
