Montezuma Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 McGoldrick deservedly starts at the expense of Sibley, who deserved to start. Shame for Sibbers but shows what a good position we are in really. I sense a win today. 2-0 I reckon. Collins to score with a richochet off his ankle.

Ramarena Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hmmmmm I understand the desire to start McGoldrick, but at the expense of Sibley? Not sure on that one. Jimbo Ram and Carl Sagan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Sibley took a few kicks on Tuesday. So maybe protecting him a bit and it’s a long season ahead. No doubt he will come in when the time is right Edited September 3, 2022 by EnigmaRam Fla Ram and hintonsboots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) As Rosenior would tell you, it's not about picking the best starting 11 it's about picking the best 16/18 and understanding how each player fits the overall plan to win the game. Sibley may be gutted not to start, but McGoldrick may offer something in this game against this opposition that Sibley wouldn't. Alternatively Sibley buys into the overall plan and for the game and actually isn't gutted at all, and having gained some form and confidence from his recent performances will be subbed on against a tiring defence, full of confidence and drive should the game be calling out for that. If you think about it from the opposing side's view, an in form Sibley & Dobbin coming on for the last half hour is not something they'll relish, nor is having to deal with McGoldrick's skill and NML's pace all game.

Carl Sagan Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Despicable decision by Rosenior to drop our joint top scorer and the player that makes the whole system work. Hope I'm wrong but with Louie unfairly consigned to the bench, fully expect it'll be another case of Derby nil. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Palmer saying Vocal Point instead of Focal Point every f****** time is even more annoying. Like he isn't from a footballing background and has never heard anyone else talk about it before.

duncanjwitham Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 There are good arguments for starting all 5 of the winger/attacking midfielders, and we can only really start 3. Barkuizen was probably our best attacker last weekend. McGoldrick made a big difference when he came on and scored the winner. NML is our joint top scorer, and scored and got an assist mid-week. It’s harsh not to start any of those guys either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGoldrick should start with players with pace around him. Seems a very poor decision to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 LR always says he needs to manage everyone's minutes to ensure we are strong for the season. No issue with him changing it around and giving some guys a rest, and the team out there should be easily strong enough to put up a good show.

I think I'm the only same level Sibley fan boy at this forum, but I don't mind McGoldrick to start. Two of our biggest attacking threats playing the same position, I'm fine as long as either one starts. Harsh on Sibbo for sure, I'm expecting him to get a 30 mins. Also, it's important to her McGoldrick match fit as well need them both fit and firing. IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Think the idea that a player being dropped from the starting XI and taking it badly is pretty outdated tbh, like they're all mardy little children who can't handle the idea that it's a team game and they may not always start. Being dropped from the squad or constantly being played out of position when you do get a chance and then your lack of performance being blamed on you, yes, but used correctly as part of the squad, subbed on in your correct position, fresh and full of vigour and confidence, totally different ball game. archram and Caerphilly Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 You can always rely on the match thread starting life as a hate-fest. After all, we're only 7 unbeaten in all games. Foxy Ram, Caerphilly Ram, Crewton and 4 others 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I thought it was McGoldrick who made the whole system work against Peterborough, and played a quite brilliant cameo on Tuesday. Fitting both of them in might be a problem, because perhaps playing McGoldrick up against L1 central defenders could be quite risky, as we're managing his fitness?

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I'd have been tempted to replace Collins with Didzy instead of Sibbo with Didzy... 0 in 8 isn't great whichever way you look at it... no complaints other than that. Let's start off as normal and carry it on into the 2nd half (unlike normal!). Feeling positive! COYR! ? Dimmu and Miggins 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep can definitely see why we would want to start McGoldrick, he has the potential to turn what looks to be a tight game in our favour. That said so does Sibley, would be great to have them both on, but we’d have to completely change the shape, unless you play McGoldrick as lone striker which as you say he may not have the legs for, given the amount of work Collins gets through for our system. Its just a shame two of our big impact players play the same/very similar positions.
