THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Im not sure abut the all out attack plan, if we concede in the first half its done and seeing as we are the Frank Bruno of glass chinned flat track bullies, if Crawley score one I suspect they will go on to get a handful.

Having said that, playing to not concede most likely wouldnt get us through and I would still have no confidence we wouldnt concede anyway.

That brings me on who to play? Bate and Payne, as good as they both are are a bit lightweight in the middle, Wearne has run out of form and the trio of Harvie/O'Hora/Tucker gives me absolutely zero confidence.

Seeing as we dont really have many options in the middle of the park I think maybe we should consider Norman in the back three. My heart says to put Lewington in but his form is poor and he hasnt played enough recently so that might just be too big a risk as well. I would definitely start Tezgel over Wearne at the moment and look to get Harrison on later in the game, maybe as a front four

Decisions decisions..........

Might as well go for it.

Kelly
Lofthouse
Lewington
MJ Williams
O’Hora
Tomlinson
Bate
Kemp
Robson
Tezgel
Dean

Harrison on for a centre half at half time if we are still 3 down.

If Kemp is starting then can they let us know in advance so I can get my refund?

What's wrong with Kemp. I thought a lot of people were jizzing their pants at the thought of having him back

Kemp simply could not play any worse than Wearne did last night ( and has for a while). He looked like a pub player last night. Kemp is quick- we lacked pace last night and it showed.

So you’d drop Harvie , who was probably our best of a bad bunch last night.

Harvie was a liability last night, very fortunate to not give away a penalty. I would indeed drop him - he has been poor in recent games.

They may well have been. But anyone who's seen his performances in a Dons shirt can see that he just doesn't work in our team. He'll go somewhere else next season and score 20+ goals. Good luck to him.

Until we saw him play

Lucky to give away a penalty with that tackle where he won the ball?
