Ok, an ever tougher challenge than last week, and if someone can name the available players it would help, but let's have your line ups for the next game
I'll start - but have no idea if all these are definitely available or not
Male
Fuller
Cook
Gallagher
McManus
Pybus
J Taylor
Muitt
Briggs
Seager
Rutherford
Yeah it's going to be tough to predict a proper lineup for this one. I highly doubt Briggs will be fit though as he went off injured in the first half. Muitt looked like he signalled he was injured when he came off but it could have just been cramp.
I think we only have 13 fit/avilable players and that includes 2 goalkeepers:
Male
Fuller Cook Kennedy
Gallagher Pybus
McManus J. Taylor Muitt(?)
Ottaway Seager
I doubt we start Rutherford but if Jimmy isn't fit then I think Seager would have to start out wide so he might have to. Louis the fitness coach seemed to suggest before the Aldershot game that McShane, Bowerman and Craig might be back so you could see those 3 on the bench. Also not sure how serious the Francomb injury is but I imagine he misses this weekend. Blair and Carter probably another 2 weeks away at least.
I'd like to see us recall Philpot as I think we need the defensive cover. Maybe even Kuhl as well.
Bold making these predictions before we've trained tomorrow, with our record for injuries during these sessions!
That is true @Jlamps, but assuming no-one slips in the showers, I would go for:
Male
Fuller Gallagher Cook
Pybus J. Taylor
Miutt McManus Briggs
Rutherford Ottaway
With Seager to come on when Alfie runs out of steam. Need all the height we can get in the team I reckon.
I would be very surprised if Briggs is fit after coming off injured on Sat...
@baggy I really like the idea of Ottoway and Rutherford up front in the beginning with Seagar coming on to replace Rutherford. I think Niall could be in the lineup instead of Briggs (and would actually prefer Briggsy not play for him to heal more). Hoping BJT could also be in the starting 11, or on the bench, but have a feeling he is out for this game.
@calvertskans Whelp that sucks. Is it just me, but it seemed the referees think it is Halloween every game, and giving out yellows like it is candy?
Does seem to be a lot this season - we're actually almost bottom of the 'Fair Play' table with 43 yellows and 5 reds!
Crazy amount of yellows and a lot of them not deserved
On the flip side Marc has been on good form, I don't think he has had a yellow this season has he?
‘We’re the red and white army’ 🐔 ⚽️
Quick browse of the Dagenham Redbridge forum, a lot of discontent on there with talk of the team being in possibly the worst state in the club's history, saying their XI hasn't clicked at all and lack any motivation. They also haven't been able to drum up enough interest for a supporters coach. Even though our squad is down to it's bare bones I hope we can take confidence from last weekend and bag another win against a team who should be there for the taking.
'11 fit (available) players' according to Mr White.
Gonna be challenge for sure. So, who is actually going to make that 11?
@adeb I think he means 11 fit outfield players as he usually doesn't include the keepers in injury lists. I think it will be the same teams as mentioned above with Slav, TC, Bowerman, McShane, Rutherford on the bench. Maybe Francomb will be fit enough for the bench.
