Like all players, goalkeepers make mistakes from time to time. Look at Joe Hart in recent weeks. The trouble is, when they do make a mistake, the spotlight falls on them. The important thing for Martin Rice is to put Saturday's match behind him - it's over - and focus on the next game. He's done very well this season - far better than most thought he would do - so let's wish him good luck at Wycombe.

Azeez is fit, match ready, a specialist winger and, with the best will in the world, a class above Benyon. I appreciate what you're saying about needing defensive cover in a tight game, but I've not seem anything which suggests Azeez would be any less capable than Bennerz at this stage.

Concur with Lucy, I reckon Ricey is positively relishing the chance to play...

Matt.

Looks to me like a 0-7-3 formation. I bet(joking) rice is looking forward to this one

Matt.
Benyon knows the game going back and he can get forward he's done this in his younger days at Bristol City. It's important that the wide players are able to double up if their fullback is struggling.
This is one of the problems playing wingers wide and not midfielders. Bodin has only just started doing it and is getting better.Bodin needs a bomb up his backside sometimes but has improved this season. Azeez and cameron are inexperienced and I would not trust them in a tight game.

Agree, can't imagine what Benyon would contribute out there. He would be better being the most forward player, provided we didn't just lump the ball up in his general direction.

Azeez sub?!??!? He was the only player that was able to do anything on saturday! Also, since that is your opinion, who would play upfront with hawley is azeez is on the bench and benyon wide?

Just thought Matt is right Craig won't play as Knill has got blinkers on, I forgot Bodin is out for Saturday so I would play Benion wide right and keep Cameron and Azeez subs.

Poke
Tonge-Pearce-Downes-Cruise, had we be able to field this Saturday, there is no way in a month of Sunday's York would have got close to scoring 3 goals, so to be fair when every one's fit no need to change anything.

That said through a stupid rule where by you can not count a loan player for international call ups despite the clear need for that loan player to play, it is going to be a mess. Can't believe I am going come up with this, however this, assuming that Harding will not be fit.
Rice
Tonge-loan/youth-Cruise-Nico
mansell-Lathrope
Cameron-Graig-Chapell
Azeez-Hawley

Please do not even consider going 4-5-1, likely result, totaly and completely wiped out.
Would be fairer if we could play 12 players!

I think there's more of a chance of manse at RB with tonge and cruise CB, Craig and lathrope in the middle. If we don't get a loan CB.
