    With Gooch and Broadhead missing and Mcgeady and Dajaku carrying an injury we could potentially have abit of an injury crisis out wide on Saturday.

    O'Brien is obviously certain to start now.

    I like AOB but preferably in the middle. Could he start Denver upfront?

    TBH mate, I wouldn't call the absence of Gooch and Broadhead a crisis.

    Hmm not sure how ready he is yet for the first team and how he will have recovered from last nights game.
    Its a shame if it comes to having to play somebody out of position though.

    Crisis as in no wingers available throughout the whole squad. I dont class OBrien as a winger

    I think the squad is strong enough at the moment but injuries are piling up.

    There are plenty of L1 clubs who'd love to have AOB.

    We also have the likes of Winchester who'd thrive further up the field

    Well have no other option other than playing people out of position and changing formation if Mcgeady and Dajaku dont make it

    Totally agree.
    As I said I think the squad is strong enough and flexible enough to still cope. You never know a forced change may find an even better winning formula. Even the bairns last night wouldnt disgrace themselves if called upon.

    I wouldn't class Gooch, Broadhead or Dajaku as wingers tbh.

    I don't think our system is reliant on true wingers either, AOB is a good option especially against the likes of Gillingham.

    Really. Where would you see Gooch and Dajaku play then? Id say they definitely look like Wingers personally.
    I agree about Broadhead, he prefers to play central but he can also act as cover in his secondary position out wide like OBrien does

    I don't see anyone, since Wyke left, as true wingers.

    McGeady is the only exception but he often cuts inside these days.

    Gooch and Dajaku both like to run at defenders though, unfortunately Gooch has no end product and we are still waiting to see what Dajaku can offer.
    We've tried Gooch in various positions ie Wingback and playing behind the main striker and i can only ever see him being a winger after failing to impress in both.
