Will be so interesting to see who Geoff Harrop selects.

Fonda wrote:For me, I'd move Manse to RB. Tonge is playing poorly, and the inclination must be to keep the skipper in the team, but he doesn't necessarily warrant selection in the centre.

In the middle I'd have Labadie, Mozika and McCourt. McCourt as the play-maker, Mozika in a more defensive position, doing the donkey work that would allow Labadie the chance to support the striker (Benyon).

Goeff Harrop says he's tinkered with a few things and wants to take the game to Morecambe, so if he's going to continue with three in midfield, I will go for Mansell, Labadie and most likely McCourt, if it's a two man midfield, Mansell/Labadie.

Before that, not so good. I agree though, that he was one of the better players v Exeter. He's plenty better than Mansell, though.

nickfrench82 wrote: Danny, he had a terrible game against Rovers. I'm a fan of McCourt and would like to see him stay too, as I think you're right about him outperforming Mansell. I wondered if Knill tried to go with a change the fans wanted after his performance against Rovers to get them onside, but judged terribly as McCourt was, along with Bodin, one of our better players against City and got subbed!!!

RJC.......By the time we were pressing for a winner, McCourt had been brought off.

I like the look of that side, seems quite strong with a good number of options on the bench too. We'd just have to stop the long ball nonsense and play it on the deck, which is the preferred way to play football.

Fonda wrote:Think I'd go...

---------------------------Poke
Manse--------O-Connor-----Downes----------Cruise
------------------------McCourt
-------------Mozika--------------Labadie
Chappell--------------------------------------Bodin
-----------------------Benyon

On the bench: Rice, Pearce, Tonge, Lathrope, Craig, Cameron, Stockley.

I think that's a little unfair on McCourt. He has been receiving a load of unnecessary abuse from the Popside and in recent games (Bristol and Exeter) he has shown that he is a good midfielder. He was boo'd off one week and the game against Exeter, boo's were ringing out because he was taken off! I would be very disappointed if McCourt was to go back, I think that he has performing better than Mansell and it's a shame that McCourt will probably be the one who is dropped tomorrow.
