Yeovil (Hive) The Must Win Match Thread

[Bee_Forever]

So.... after drawing 1-1 against the oiks from Mansfailed, thanks to poor finishing and a poorer ref, we find ourselves winless in 7 and in desperate need of 3 points to push up the league.

Enter Yeovil Town, a team so poor they took Akpa-Akpro on loan last season to boost their striking options. After the return of Coulthirst and, hopefully, the imminent return of Weston, things are looking good on the injury front, although there is still a giant Akinde shaped hole at the top end of the pitch. In terms of starting lineup, I am not convinced that Campbell-Ryce offers enough in the role behind the strikers so I would be inclined to select Weston in his place. My team:-

---------------------Ross-----------------

-----Santos-------Nelson------Clough---

--J. Taylor--------------------Tutonda---

-------------Weston----Fonguck----------

-Vilhete----------Coulthirst------Akinola--

Subs: KML, Smith, Blackman, Bover, Akpa-Akpro, Mason-Clark, Mars, H. Taylor,

If Weston is not fit enough to start then I would select Akpro and rejig the midfield.

Hope we grab the three points, as our recent performances are starting to show glimmers of promise.

We must win on Saturday. Fail to do that, I feel it's curtains for Rossi. No win in 7 is awful form. Massive game for him and also the club.

[Paul Pasqualoni]

No JCR (daddy!) in your 17 Bee Forever?

2 wins in 21 games when Santos and Clough both start...

[WinchyBee]

I'd be very surprised if we see any changes to the first 11 from last night, I for one wouldn't want to change anything from the off.

It's 8 isn't it, and 9 including cup. 3 points in the league from the last 8. Yeovil have won 2 of the last 5 so a beatable team. They have a leaky defence so if Coulthirst is on form should be good but they can score so the defence has to be tight. Team should be looking to beat them and Port Vale in next few league games.

[mcleod23]

We have to win this one, no if's no but's. Rossi needs to win it.

[ninestein]

Weston isn't ready yet, still a couple more weeks away, so expect the same starting XI to last night.
Rossi's post match interview did give a bit more away regarding injuries. Big John's about 3 weeks away from a return but has at least been out on the grass doing a limited amount of running. Brindley is due to start light training at that time too. Just think how big that would be if we have a proper RWB and can afford the luxury of unleashing Mauro in central midfield again.

You write that this is Rossi's last chance almost every other post and have been doing so for a while, It's incredibly boring. This forum isn't a Donald Trump speech, by repeating yourself constantly people won't just start believing you.

Seems in relation to the rest of the league we are slightly better in defence (joint 11th with our opponents from last night) than attack 15th.

2 point to note from this:

One is no surprise, we are missing our injured front men, and should see some sort of upturn in form when they return.

Two, looking at those stats, we really don't deserve to be where we are in the league.

Rossi seems to be managing the crisis reasonably well, and hopefully with one or two returning we can move up the table.

[mcleod23]

Shank - I’ve put it twice on this, wouldn’t really call it that overbearing? And a link to Donald Trump, interesting one that.

Sorry I dare to question Rossi’s ability after no win in 8.

J.Taylor RWB????

[Bee_Forever]

Did it at Yeovil last season to great effect. On reflection I think a 4-4-2 Would be handy with Weston still missing.

This does mean a return for Jamal stepover-twice

I thought JLAA was more effective than JCR yesterday.

The teams below us are all away (bar Morecambe). They've all got tough games so a chance to get three points against Yeovil and move away from danger. If we get another bloody home draw - or worse then it's a real chance wasted. Huge game for Barnet and Rossi.

Going to be blowing a gale on Saturday afternoon hopefully won't affect the football too much
