Richardson Raynes Kioso Amos

Donaldson McLaughlin Hawkes Molyneux

Cassidy Kabamba


Subs Catterick, Newton, Anderson, Muir, James


Of course not sure who wants to play or not, clearly something is up off the field. Looking at team selections and subs over last few weeks , it suggests to me , either some players have shown ambivelence when asked the question " do you want to be here" or Money doesnt rate them. In this group I would include Magnay, Featherstone, Newton, McLaughlin, Kioso, Hawkes and possibly Noble. I have read elsewhere Money could be protecting some of the young players by taking them out of the firing line, this is plausible, but I find it hard to believe.

Cannot play Richardson in my opinion, he was dreadful and is a makeshift defender, Kioso is a right back and play Cunningham next to Raynes.
I would play Muir next to Labamba.

I get your point Monkeybutt, but that for me has been the problem at pools over the years, we know they are inconsistent anyway, never have 2 good games in a row, but we have to stop dropping players left right and centre. Richardson is a young lad, I always said he needed a run of games, he is more or less getting them now and isn't IMO doing himself justice, however he is in the middle of a shitstorm, and I believe you should persevere and stick with a player, if he fooks up Saturday then yes , he loses his place, its up to him, he has to step up to the plate, but dropping players after one bad game ( though I appreciate it may be more with Richardson and others ) won't help players get better. My worry is midfield, apart from Newton we haven't one snappy central midfielder on the books. at the moment, My team relies on a tight defence and a very offensive midfield, not by choice but because we are short on proper CM's and I'm guessing Newton isn't flavour of the month, it would be a big risk I know, but what options have we? hopefully Money is looking at bringing in a CM on loan. We need to start thinking about shipping some players out as well , the ones who dont want to be here and maybe the likes of Richardson if it doesn't work out , who may benefit from a loan spell at a NLN club.
