How about a match thread for this one?
There will be some tinkering this weekend with Oliver Whatmuff off to Spain with the England youngsters. I guess/hope he will be back for the home game against Yeovil on 18th Oct. So the cup match is timely in respect of our League progress.
Apart from that, will there be far more tinkering to rest players as we pass the quarter mark of a so far very successful season? |  | | |  |

Pettit will count himself unlucky to not have featured more, but East and Gilmour have responded well to (my) doubts about how well they play together.
On the subject of ‘strongest XI’, what are the thoughts as to what that is at present?
—————— Whatmuff ——————
——— Gordon—— EEL—— Beckwith
TAR —————————————— Berkoe/ Allarakhia
————— East ——— Gilmour ———
— Barlow/McBride ——— Rodney —
—————— Dieseruvwe ——————
Seems obvious. Depending on the opposition/form/fitness, the choices at LWB and between Barlow/McBride are ones that could go either way so who would be the ones to get the nod? |
TAR in home games and probably Berkoe in most away games. I prefer Barlow to McBride everytime but if his form drops then McBride is a decent replacement. There is a aspect of our play at Carlisle and FGR that was poor and that was our finishing. I haven't counted but i reckon we missed probably six or seven easy goal scoring chances, most of them with just the keeper to beat, very wasteful. We need to be a lot better than that and i hope it's being worked on [Post edited 8 Oct 18:43]

Those would be my choices at present too, though McBride has always come in and done well. He’s been much more productive results wise as well with respect to goals and assists, still believe there’s more to come from Barlow on that front. |
To me they are different types of player. McBride is more of a goal threat and probably runs about a bit more but is less technically gifted than Barlow. I would agree that there is probably a bit more to come from him. He also seems to tire towards the end of games.
It is a shame that Gomez-Mancini has not been available more as he could potentially offer a similar skillset to Barlow. |  | | |

Mancini was the one positive to come from Brackley. That and glimpses in the NL cup have shown there’s a player with passing ability others may not have. But we knew when we signed him that injuries would always be the issue. |  |
