In 3 games time we probably have a season defining match, as 3 points for either side could prove to be a killer blow to the other for any potential of staying up.
What changes would you make? Call me old fashioned but we need to play actual Centre backs. We also need a recognised right back, as Phillips isnt the answer. Maybe as a stop gap, but no where near competent enough. We started losing our shape when we lost two good defensive fullbacks in Wilson and Doyle. Granted Doyle is injured but I wouldn't be against having Wilson,or a similar player back.

Would 100% agree with that, but has the squad trained with this formation in mind ( actually, does it matter what they've trained for ? ).
Like to see Tajbakhsh involved somewhere, need his meanness and aggression + esp against old club !

We've seen a bit of Romaine now and whilst hes a grafter, actually hasn't provided much of a threat.
Bench wise: Wassmer, Richards, Romaine or Tajbakhsh, Muldoon

Paxman needs to perform, could put Tajbakhsh in for Paxo maybe ?

Agree I think Tajbakhsh is worth a run in the team !

He'd won me over this season, but mistakes leading to goals 2 games running have been a major setback. Certainly needs resting for a couple of games, but unfortunately in spite of the mass signings the squad seems very thin.

The problem is we have 3 midfielders who are best going forward and don't do defence very well - Walton & Tajbakhsh are better suited to defensive midfield but our manager will only use Walton as a centre half these days. We have 2 other centre halves he brought in but doesn't trust to start.
We have a problem Houston , a big big problem.

If Harry happens to still be in charge for Dover (at least it will ruin his boxing day) then he cannot keep playing two of his 3 defensive midfielders at centre back. Play de hav, swaine and/or wasser!
If he wants to play 3 at back (and I can see a case for it) pax cannot really play - as demonstrated by JS and HW. You need to mobile and aggressive CMs and a lively front 3 (which I think we now probably have + loza + turbo). Shields looks good on the right and the jurys out on wishart (ball seems to get caught in his feet) - surely George mc could play here?
So HW has the ingredients hopefully he can find the recipe - and show that he has some managerial capability.

Walton is certainly worth playing for his leadership qualities & magnificent command of 'industrial' language . Not sure I want him close to our goal tho !

We should have started with this line-up on Saturday although with Shields rather than Robinson. Yes I now know WDH was ill. Same again at Dover which ought be the last chance that Paxman should be given.
