There have been questions asked about our team selections this season, but one thing is clear to me. When Drury plays we are are far better team. At Hornchurch, for instance.!
He sets the pattern of play from midfield and is confident enough to receive the ball whatever way he is facing. If fit enough I would always play him. One other thing, playing Smith as a lone central striker, or Ibs for that matter [ the way we set up currently ] does not suit the type of player he is. He works best with a partner to get the best from him.
So these are critical games coming up and I hope we manage to get our best available team on the pitch.

Team selection, you would imagine Gerry,will be influenced by team formation, the opposition and many other factors such as fitness,form etc. For the past 2 or 3 years we have stuck to a 4-3-3 formation regardless of the players available which imo has made us very predictable and clearly has had a big effect on team selection. I agree we do not have an out and out no.9 and I would prefer to see us play with just 2 up top. Room for one more in midfield or two if we did away with conventional full backs. Easier for Drury to play then, recall Ababio? There is a problem though if the coaches are unable to get their points across or the players aren't receptive to new ideas.

No brainer Phil.
Boy should have been embraced and included from the start, Ababbio . Some games only thing going there for. And we don't even pick him!

I awarded Jordan the Man of the Match in the pre-season friendly against Faversham once I checked he was old enough to drink!
BTW I see Faversham Town have had a couple of players with bad injuries and are looking to bolster the squad.

Perhaps we should give Faversham a call to see if they would like any more of our players.

Solid looking team selection today. Use of the sub correct.
