Your line-up for the Cup Final on Saturday?

[Red Rover]

Possibly our biggest ever Championship game up to press on Saturday. We 100% need a win...what would your starting 11 be?

Personally...

Sully
JoC, Naylor, Martis, Spurr
Copps, Gillett, Stock(c), Oster
Lalkovic (if still here)
Hayter

[Viking Don]

Naylor and Martis? I thought we wanted to win, so why leave out our best defender?

Who? Friend? Has played well there, but not a natural centre back, would like to see two out and out centre backs back there.

MARTIS? Good god. I couldn't think of a player in our squad less suited to a high-pressure must-win game than Shelton. Not a chance. Throw him on up front for the last 30 seconds when we are 1-0 down but (a) playing him in defence and (b) starting the game, is a sure fire way to lose the game.

Lots of ifs in there but would love to see this side on Saturday although the chances of it being extremely slim. We need to set out to attack or we will get turned over in my opinion.

Double post

-------------------Sully(better of two options)

JOC.  Naylor(if fit) Friend Spurr(if fit)

--------------Stock------Gillett

Coppinger---------Mason(if fit)----------Lalkovic

-----------------------Hayter( best goal scoring record a part from Billy)

Subs Woods, Martis, Oster, Barnes, Bennett

Without Billy let's hope there is enough scoring power in the team.

Line em all up on Friday and ask who is prepared to run through a wall for this club. 11 most convincing start.

copps oster Mason (if fit and ready to play)/Lalkovic

[Mr1Croft]

SOD on the line on his own.

ROK right behind him.

5 benchwarmers offering support.

Might be a high request but a different guy on the tannoy system...

[The Red Baron]

Important game as it is, not least because we need to start winning sometime, it is a mistake to build it into a cup final.

Line-up (depending on fitness):

Sullivan
O'Connor Naylor Friend Spurr
Stock
Oster Gillett Mason
Lalkovic Hayter

Subs: Woods, Hird, Coppinger, Barnes, Bennett.

[Standanista]

Sullivan; O'Connor, Naylor, Friend, Spurr; Coppinger, Mason, Stock, Bennett; Hayter, Lalkovic.

Will never happen.

Sorry, had to. For what it's worth otherwise:


Sullivan

Coppinger, Oster, Barnes, Bennett

Lalkovic, Hayter


...looks about right.

[Padge_DRFC]

Has anyone worked out what Barnes best position is?

What about trying him in the nets?

...looks about right.

A team entirely composed of Sam Hirds would mean space and time would tear and all football matches into eternity would comprise of own goals or be destroyed.

[godlike1]

Given our new signing I would say the line up needs to be more like this

Sully
JOC, Naylor, Friend, Spurr
Copps, Stock, Gillett, Oster
Hayter
Parkin

Subs: Woods, Wilson, Bennett, Lalcovic, Hird

Looks solid enough and I think Oster should take a break from trying to be the playmaker all the time as he struggles with that responsibility.
