Strikers tonight

AFKABartram

What combo do you expect Pards to go with ?

Is that different to what you would do ?

WSS

Will do: Varney/Toddy

Should do: Varney/Toddy/Dickson (with Varney pushed out a bit wider)

ISawLeaburnScore

Will probably play Varney and Gray again!

I would go along with WSS and play Varney (wide) and Todorov just in behind Dickson

suzisausage

Varney up front

Varney/Gray up front then mix it up and put toddy up front with gray and varney wide (after ambrose goes off)

Rothko

Is Dickson fit? Hasn't even been on the bench for a while.

Henry Irving

Think it will be Toddy and Varney

Would like to see Toddy and Varney with McLeod coming on late for Toddy to run them ragged..

Addick Addict

If he isn't going to give Dickson a chance tonight when is he?

So:

Will do: Varney/Gray
Should do: Varney/Dickson

I know it's not quite what you asked AFKA, but i think the front 6 should look like this with Bailey and Holland holding, Ambrose and Varney joining the front 2 whenever possible and Todorov sitting just behind Dickson. We're at home, we need to be bold.

Bailey ---- Holland

----Varney

Ambrose

Todorov

Dickson

Dickson has been fit all season as far as I'm aware and played in all the recent recerve games.

ISawLeaburnScore

I'd probably have Bouazza in for Ambrose Chris but otherwise that's my team

Don't think Ambrose is a winger and he rarely looks good when he plays wide. Not sure if Varney is a wide player in a 4-4-2 either. He can work the wings from the front but we've never seen him covering the full back. That team would leave both full back exposed.

My team:

---

Weaver
Mouts---Cranie---Primus---Youga
Ambrose--Bailey--Holland--Basey

---

Toddy

---

Varney

subs in @ 60 minutes Wright, Izale and Dicko

Pards' Team

---

Weaver
Mouts---Cranie---Primus---Youga
Ambrose--Bailey--Holland--Bouazza

---

Gray

Varney

I agree Henry, but I'm not looking at them playing really wide, my idea was more of a 4-2-2-2 formation with Varney and Ambrose getting into the box so at times on the attack we had 4 forwards. Moo2 and Youga can be the wingers when we attack anyway.

Henry Irving

Shelvey's away with the England U17s for the next three games.

adamtheaddick

Pards stubbon as ever will be gray and varney,

_MrDick

Toddy up front on his own with Varney and Ambrose joining in when necessary

Sounds exciting but maybe a bit too attacking. Four forwards and the full backs bombing forward as well!

Maybe if Basey was holding in front of the back four but that would mean only one up top and I'm not sure that Varney, Gray or Toddy can do that effectively. Need Darren Bent back or for Izele to live up to his youtube video

Southendaddick

It will be Gray and Varney.

I would play Varney with anyone else other than Gray, maybe get Killer out of the Oak and give him a run out.

oohaahmortimer

gray and varney for pards
and i'm gonna go for gray and varney and predict at least 2 goals to come from the pair toddy maybe thrown on to help em out...
dickson and izzy will have to wait till we get relegated

Yeah maybe it is bold but i think we need to do something to get pressure away from our makeshift back 4. But with 2 centre backs and Bailey and Holland holding it's unlikely we'd get caught out too often. Moo2 and Youga are quick getting back and Varney always works his socks off.
I guess i'm just fed up of dull, boring games, we need to do something exciting and attacking for once.

kinveachyaddick

Sadly, it will be Gray and Varney.

I would play Dickson and Todorov as I don't think the other two's level of performance so far this season justifies their continued selection

kigelia

it will be Gray/Varney I am sure. There will be enough enforced changes tonight as it is, swapping some additional players out is just asking for trouble in my view.

Is Hudson from last Saturday's starting line up not the only enforced change?

It is but if you move Cranie over that is two different positions.

Let's face it Pardew has never had a problem with changing things around so doubt he will start tonight.

More important is that whichever XI it is give it a proper go.

Scoham

I don't think Dickson is the new Ian Wright like some, but I'd like to see him get a chance simply because he'll try and create chances for himself, and goes out looking to score. He's not like our other strikers who will be trying to do a lot of other work, not saying thats a bad thing, but we aren't very creative so maybe need someone like Dickson who just wants to score goals.

Chris_from_Sidcup

All we know about Dickson is that whatever level he's played at he's scored goals. Non-league, reserve, league one. Obviously the management see him week in week out, but he scores in nearly every reserve game so i don't see why he doesn't get a chance.

This would be my choice, would love to see us line up like this.

It'll never happen though.

Dazzler21

Other option would be to field a 100% different side

All reserve players and have Kins bossing em ;oP

BigRedEvil

Would put Varney out right. He has missed chance after chance this year and it's not good enough.

The only change Pardew might make is Toddy in for Gray though.

On a side note. Looked on Wiki and Varney is 26. Thought he was younger than that.

Ketman

I don't mind who we play up front just get them some bloody decent service for a change, that means getting behind their back four not crossing from the bloody half way line.
