    He's right footed and played right centre half in all his games here.

    The way it seems to me that another club must be in for him and games are being played on all sides.

    Ha agree mate.

    However, of we're holding out for compo from
    a non league club then more fool us. I can only think our behaviour is because we know another league club is interested.

    Straight back in for me, not fussed which CB position he plays as he’s better than O’Connor and BRE on what I’ve seen.

    Although I do like the thought of BRE up against Hanson, who will be a handful and will want to impress so I think we should match up big unit V big unit

    Hope we play a left back at erm left back

    Looking forward to this one

    Those storm force winds are going to have an impact on the game!

    Time to batten down the hatches!

    The strong wind might help us if we play it on the deck. If Grimsby try playing direct football up towards Hanson he will have trouble timing his headers...if the ball get's anywhere near him. This could be an ugly game of football that is decided by one goal either way.

    I can’t see POC coming straight back in, especially as AOC did nothing wrong and was the better of the 2 CBS. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Doyle starting up top again.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same XI starting with only changes made to the bench. Perhaps Akpan/Devine instead of Anderson if he’s not trained most of the week.

    We clearly lacked pace, width and guile last week so, although he would never go for this, I’d be tempted to go with the following;

    O’Donnell

    AO’Connor
    PO’Connor
    BRE

    Mellor
    Devine/Anderson
    Palmer
    Wood

    Scannell

    Vaughan
    Donaldson

    With the ball, we play 3-4-1-2 (Scannell in a free role behind the front 2) and when defending, we revert to 5-3-2

    Just watching Liverpool playing 4-3-3. When they're attacking it's really 2-5-3. The fullbacks provide all the width and the front three are just that. Can't see that we've the personnel to play like that. The other version of it is 4-3-1-2 which is what I think we're trying to play. But that requires a talented midfielder as no. 10, which we might have in McCartan but certainly not in Doyle. I don't really think we have the players to play any system properly at the moment. Also watched a bit of the City v Northampton game and we had Doyle and Jones as our midfield two. Not very creative but didn't need to be. Just fed the front two or Reid and Thompson. That could be the way to go for us if we read Scannell for Reid and ano for Thompson. But I don't think we will.
