The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

.......................Joe Day

Miller.......Oshodi...........Corcoran.........Day

........................Mills
............Porter..............Power

..........Gash.......Smith........O'Connor


subs;- Evans(GK), Johnson, Farrell, Charles, Osano

I'm going to assume that neither Prosser nor Huke are fit, so that's my team selection. I honestly think Smudger is a better centre-forward in the box than Gash, that's why I've stuck him in the middle. Time for Curtis Osano to be dropped to the bench.

i agree with the team but unfortunately osano will more and likely be starting despite his form

Swap Gash and Smith around an I'll agree with you. I don't think Gash has the pace/ability to beat defenders.

If JE sticks with playing Gash in the middle I will be less than impressed he cannot play there any more than sam can play on the outside. Miller did/does have flu but this is the best team we can play really although I would pick huke if available to take osanos positon on the bench

New Experienced Keeper

Miller Oshodi New Experienced Centre Half Day

Porter Mills Power

New Striker Gash O'Connor

Subs:- Joe Day, Corcoran, Osano, Johnson, Smith.

Transfer window closes tomorrow (i know we could still get loans in after that) and i honestly feel we need an old head in goal, at the back and another forward option.

Although he faded against Tamworth, I feel Gash is better placed in the middle and I feel that he does set up stuff for other players, I do feel we need to take advantage of it more. JE said at the forum that Sam's currently best placed to coming off the bench, which I agree with.

I do feel we need a bit more of an understanding up front and we won't gain by constantly tinkering with it (plus the issue we need to sort out is at the back at the moment).

Osano I agree needs to be benched.

You never know such an unorthodox formation might work..

We seem to be struggling for players at the minute due to injuries. I'm guessing Miller might be fit for this. :?

He was fit and available to play on Saturday.
