Positive Thoughts only!

^ Mark Cooper wants to keep the winning streak going so will surely field a competetive but slightly different team. Maguire Drew and Charlie Cooper should get minutes, the new loanee defender should get minutes, maybe Bell again too. Whittle should be back, Wannel rested perhaps, Dawes back on the flanks, Hyde starting up front with Cox.

For my positive thought, the Yeovil changes could cause less cohesion in the Yeovil side, helping Torquay a bit.

Tom Lapslie also has a hamstring problem and likely to be another 2/3 weeks. He has fully recovered from the gash on his leg.

Yeovil are far and away the best team in this league and play to a plan, week in week out. I doubt it will happen but I wouldn't be astonished if they win every league game for the rest of the season. The other teams in the play off positions are nothing special and I believe we are more than capable of finishing second, if we can field our strongest eleven.

My team, if everyone was fit (and not including loans as they are only short term) would be.......

Halstead

Donnellan...Tomlinson...Moxey...Martin

Stobbs...Lapslie...Dawson...Collins

Jarvis...Hall

I still think we need a bruising centre half, the number six who played for Hemel is exactly what we need and I would go all out to get him if available.
I would play Asa every minute he is fit and available. He is a class act. I would play him as a target man with Jarvis running in behind. Jarvis was a better player last season in that role, Asa is good in the air and links the play better.

In conclusion, I think we are a better team than performances suggest. In particular, Collins has flattered to deceive, Dawson absent, Martin still feeling his way back and Ash underperforming (but I think it's a matter of time before he comes good).
A part time player living and working in London.

Is going.to give up his life and job for a few.months earning.less money as a.pro footballer in the 6th tier.

Ok

Halstead still out as the concussion protocols had to be restarted due to his lack of progress. No news on Lovett, so it might be young Filip in nets at the weekend

Have to do without Ethon Archer, he's cup tied.

The league reamains our priority but the tile is gone, so we are aiming for second spot.
Yeovil don't have the largest of squads, so expect limited players rotation from them. On the other hand we have a cup tided player.

Lapslie is a Hamstring issue.

Positive Thoughts only!

by Midlandgull » 15 Nov 2023, 16:16

Current injuries:

Halstead (Can't be far off a return now?)
Lovett (Similar to Halstead shouldn't be out for too long?)
Dan Martin (how far off is Dan, not seen him for a while?)
Lapslie (wasn't it a gash on the leg, surely not too long?)
Marshall (could be back)
Jarvis (Xmas?)
Dolan (didn't feature v Havant, but hopefully available again)
Dawson (Xmas?)

If we can get all those back and keep everyone else fit, we have a good side for this level. I would like us to stop playing 4-4-2 though and get 3 in the middle of the park with a 4-5-1 / 4-3-3

any player rumours or is that too much to expect, surely we must be close to getting a forward!!

29 to play Vick.

On the bright side; 17 games played, 26 still to play, 87 points available for the Gulls to win. That means a total of 115 points is possible by the end of the season and 115 points should be enough to win this league.

The power of positivity. COYY.

With Yeovil romping this league, now 13 points clear of us. we need to make a massive effort to finish preferably 2nd or 3rd ( could still get two home play off games finishing 3rd if 2nd team loses semi as Dartford did last season) Dont think we'll do it unless we strengthen defence and midfield and I don't mean young, inexperienced loanees.

(There is a post elsewhere concerning Marshall indicating to the dugout that he was unable to run due to his injury. Johnson then left him on. When Marshall came off he apologised to the manager for being able to stay on, went to shake Johnsons hand and he was completely blanked by the little twerp.)

Just to clarify, I was just behind the dugout and Marshall was asking for Deep Heat, not to come off. And I also saw Johnson acknowledge Marshall with a low hand tap when he came off. No problem with criticism, but preferably accurate criticism!
