    Should have been Dobson beneath Gilbey's name tbh, JFC is miles away
    And if we are talking fully fit, on form players, JFC is well ahead of gilbey
    Gilbey as competition for Lee and Morgan as the alternative to JFC for me.

    i just don't see that formation working with stockley -p he needs to play up top with somebody - that can be washington, leko,lee or kirk but i would definitely start with Lee in the team - mac - purrer innis/lavelle  famewho matthews - kirk arter lee leko - wash stock 
    Playing Lee in a number 10 role is essentially putting him up top with Stockley. 
    Fair enough

    For next fixture

    MacG
    Matthews, Lavelle, Famewo, Souare
    Arter
    DJ, Lee, Clare, Leko
    Stockley

    I don’t wanna see Morgan or Watson for a while and I especially don’t wanna see Morgan AND Watson.

    Hurry up Gilbey.

    Anything other than:

    CMac

    Gunter Innis Famewo Purrington

              Arter       Dobson

    Leko          Lee            Washington

                    Stockley 

    is just wrong. 
    JFC for Dobson when he’s back

    Tricky one, but I’d go with…
    MacG
    Matthews, Elerewe, Famewo, Souare
    Kirk/DJ, Arter, Lee, Gilbey/Clare (we need a lefty)
    Leko Washington

    442 but could alter formation easily. 
    No Stockley. Need to take away the long ball option. Bring him on from the bench and he could be a weapon. 
    Would rely on DJ actually tracking back, and Souare getting forward, with Gilbey/Clare covering when he does.
    Inniss for Elerewe when fit, or depending on the opposition. 
    Not convinced about DJ or Kirk. Maybe only one of the two. CBT is another option off the bench.

    After Saturday, it feels a real mess to try and reconcile it, particularly in the centre of midfield. 

    Watson/Morgan shouldn't be a combo again - Watson lacks the pace/desire, whilst I feel Morgan is being kept in for set piece delivery. Dobson/Clare probably also shouldn't be a thing, despite being signed and seen as the answer for this problem. Maybe Arter/Morgan or Arter/Clare, but at this point, maybe even Dempsey gets a crack in the immediate term. I'm desperate to see if Arter could do 50-60 minutes, but sports science probably says otherwise. I feel like Dobson could help us a hold a lead, but not impact the game at all offensively, so the bench is the best we could probably see.

    Arter, Gilbey and JFC would all need to come in with messiah-like performances straight back from injury which (probably) won't happen. It's so galling and frustrating we are lacking in these positions so much.

    I'd go with the team above and only change if there is a need.

    I’d be willing to bet a lot of money that Nigel Adkins will never play Elliot Lee as one of the two sitting midfielders.

    Maybe I'm being naïve, but I honestly think he would offer more there than all of our currently fit central midfielders. Comfortable on the ball, plays with his head up and is creative. Perhaps too much of a square peg in a round hole, but considering our options and how poor our midfield has been, I'd at least give it a try. I doubt it could be any worse.

    That said, I agree that he (almost certainly) won't go that far out of the box in his thinking.

    From what I’ve seen, including the win over Crawley, and when certain players are back up to speed, I reckon this could be our best team … 

    McGillivray
    Matthews
    Lavelle
    Famewo
    Papa Don’t Preach

    Arter 
    Lee
    BlackettTaylor
    Leko

    Washington
    Stockley

    Make it 4-2-3-1 with Lee ahead of Arter and Dobson then. It’s really not that different to one of them holding and the other in front alongside Lee.

    agreed - dobson holds amd lee and arter pull the strings in  midfield - don't need 2 holders - get your best players / football brains on the ball in the middle

    The amount of people putting Arter when we have no idea what state he's in.

    MacGillivray

    Gunter 
    Lavelle
    Famewo
    Purrington

    Watson
    Clare
    Lee

    Leko
    Stockley
    Kirk

    Best with what we've got which isnt much in the midfield. Haven't seen the Clare + Watson partnership yet, can't be any worse than what we've had before.

    We must never play 4231 again.

    MacGillivray

    Gunter
    Lavelle (Innis when fit)
    Famewo
    Souare (Purrington maybe when fit)

    DJ
    Arter
    Dobson
    Kirk

    Washington (Lee?) 
    Leko


    We’re way too one dimensional with Stockley and I don’t think he’s good enough to build your entire team around which is what it seems we’ve tried to do so far. Keeping it on the floor and using our pace might give us a better chance.

    I think I'd probably opt for Dobson over Clare & Washington over Kirk (based on current performances) but otherwise agree.

    Maybe I'm in a minority, but I find it astounding that anyone would consider putting Watson in any current best starting 11. Imho, he doesn't run enough, doesn't make nor deny space and everything he does is excessively negative/backward. By far, he is the player I like the least in this squad and that is without considering who has played for in the past. He should be getting infinitely more questions asked of his performance on Saturday than many others, but I feel a lot more ire has been at Morgan.

    With the weaker performances of Dobson/Clare, plus injuries/fitness concerns of the other players (old and new), then yes, he gets in the side. But in our best 11? Definitely not for me.

    Mac

    Matthews, Inniss, Famewo, Soare

    Lee, Arter , Gilbey, Jaiyesimi

    Leko, Stockley. 

    Midfield looks weak to me .

    To mix it up, I would be tempted to revert to a diamond. DJ and Kirk have been poor and Stockley encourages too many long balls. Not convinced by Dobson but has potential to do the donkey work and give the ball to someone who can play.

                     Big Mac
    Gunter Lavelle Famewo Soare
                    Dobson  
           Arter               Gilbey
                       Lee   
            Leko          Washington
