I don't think professional players want a rest. They have a week off after today. I am in the minority here but I'm not a fan if Smith at RB. I just don't think he offers enough offensively and therefore you need to be a defensive expert which he isn't either. I'd be giving Rooney a role here. Wildsmith Rooney Forsyth Cashin Sibley White Knight Hourihane NML Barkhuizen McGoldrick This won't be the team but I'd like to see it.

Comrade 86 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 My team would be something along the lines of: Wildsmith Korey Foz Cash Haydon Jase Harvey Conor Nate Didzy Barks I'd like to see Dobbin and Sibbo getting a full 30 minutes against tired legs, whether we're winning the game or chasing it and maybe reward Rooney with some game time at RB given he's not let us down in his limited opportunities to date. I'd like to see Harvey just behind the other two mids screening the back 4 but with a remit to push up when the opportunity arises and Didzy in the pocket between midfield and speedsters. Harvey needs to be brave and not plump for the easy option given his passing ability. I'd also like to see him taking charge of set pieces. Lastly I like to see Jason and Conor pushing up as much as they dare. They need to adopt positions from which they can hurt the oppo and also to provide Didzy with passing options and support. Expecting a better performance than last time out when we looked right off it. Even the ever dependable Wildsmith and Cashin looked rocky and we need those two on their A-game. Another poor performance and the doubts and doubters will be creeping in. Who'd be a manager, eh! 3-0 to the Mighty Rams, with NML to set us on our way.

Carl Sagan Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 2 hours ago, Black ('n' White) Sheep said: I'd go with: Wildsmith Smith Forsyth Cashin Roberts Knight Hourihane Mendez-Laing Sibley Dobbin McGoldrick I'd still like to see what Sibbo could do in a more advanced role at this level for a few games in a row. COYR Exactly. I maintain he would likely transform our play if moved into his most dangerous and effective position. Warne says his selection philosophy is to find a way to put all his best players on the pitch, so I presume this is why Sibley ends up at left back as only he and Fozzy out of the 11 can play there. But it means we lose so much creativity/verve/threat in the middle of the park. And this means all our attacks are down the flanks rather than coming from everywhere.

Steve How Hard? Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I feel it's slightly harsh on Roberts to be omitted. However it's good to see the Sibley twins out there and us going back to the formation that harveysted so many of our recent points. angieram and Caerphilly Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be mine, but it's a better lineup than the last two games. My mortgage is safe! If only you could bet on team lineups. Come on you Rams!

sage Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Including today we have played 4 league games on the trot against teams in excellent form. This will have something to do with our slight wobble and also create extra incentive to start well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but I think our opponents set up specifically to counter this. It would be harder for them to do that and to stop us playing if we were equally threatening down the middle as well.

jono Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Glad to see White gets a start, think he’ll balance the midfield and I want to see if the good glimpses we’ve seen are consistent over a full game. Hope NML has recharged his battery brought my now 30 year old nephew to his first football game V Charton. 199? Lost 3-1 so I need personal revenge ?
