If McShane is too fragile to play on Tuesday have we got time to sign someone else ? |  | | |  |

Roberts and Keohane/Morley as CBs. Hopefully Mclaughlin can last the game. Done will likely be LB. Humphrys, Beesley Newby and Rathbone. Fingers crossed Lund will be back. | |

McLaughlin will go missing again for a stretch shortly, he must be due, I'd bomb both him and McShane out the door, both dragging a wage for not a great deal,far too fragile. | | | |

It's a shame because they're both very good players but with such a small squad we can afford players not to be available. I think we were all worried about these two at the start of the season and our worries have come to fruition.
Have to move on in the summer especially if we're stuck to the same numbers that we currently are.
For Tuesday without McShane and Lund we could be struggling to put out anything like a competitive team.
Bazunu
McLaughlin Keohane Roberts Done
Newby Morley Rathbone Baah/Dooley
Beesley Humphrys
Would likely be our team and that defence and midfield worries me. In fact I don't think you can play Baah it has to be Dooley to help out defensively. And I know that sounds ridiculous after his sub appearance the other day. | |

I'd go with Baah. An away fixture against a team chasing promotion (like at Charlton) isn't going to see Donny doubling up on him. Leaving him on the bench risks having the game gone before he can make an impact
And it's not just last week that Dooley's defensive qualities have been lacking, i'm not even sure i'd prefer him over Baah on that score either |  |

Must be time to give Dunne a run at left back, maybe with done left midfield to help cover.
Neither Baah or Dooley can defend with any real effect |  |

Playing any left back actually at left back would be something of a novelty | | | |

Has Jake Beesley ever played in defence? His dad was a very competent performer there for Wigan, Sheff U and Leeds, so it might be in the genes... |  | | |

How about 4 2 3 1 with Morley and Brierley sitting in front of the back for as protection, is that too cautious? | |

Haven't the last 2 visits to Donny seen us 1-0 down within a minute of kick off? |  |

Perhaps an element of caution might be sensible then. | |

I'd say the opposite and go for the Charlton approach. Going 1-0 down within a minute is very rare occurance - to do it 2 years running against the same opposition on the same ground is freaky. Something like that happening can't have anything to do with how you approach a game - just rank bad defending or bad luck or a bit of both. | |

Well if attack was the best form of defence with the back four we had against Charlton, you are probably correct. | |

After the last 3 games setting up to be solid and stealing a one nil win would be perfect. To be honest think I'd snatch your hand off if you offered me a nil nil. | |

We have to play to our strengths. Trying to be solid and steal a one-nil win with the players we have available is probably unrealistic. |  |

Sadly, I agree, dirty sheets are much more likely than clean ones this season. That was before our back line was depleted. |  |

So we need to make sure our opponents sheets are absolutely filthy. | |

Surely Oldham would be open to some sort of deal for Wheater? | | | |
| Centre half crisis on 17:11 - Jan 18 with 4423 views | seasidedale |
Think he will be too expensive and also has a history of injuries admit it’s better than McShane and mclaughlin | | | |
| Centre half crisis on 20:40 - Jan 18 with 4211 views | Beechball |
I was thinking of a loan deal with Oldham subbing part of his wages | | | |

Not suggesting he cover CH but is Lund going to be available tonight? Wasn't he struggling a bit on Saturday? | |

Harrison Mc is out of contract at scunny in summer I believe. Hardly been a dream move for him so maybe an option? | |

I think we will see incoming in the shape of:
Legal Manager to help out with the defence and penalties
A couple of accountants to help with clean spread sheets
A Strategy Manager to help with goals
Possibly a geometrist to help with corners |  |

And how about an Entomologist, to help with FlyOnTheWall documentaries? | |
