Head coach previews clash with Rangers.
Sean O’Driscoll aims to field a strong side for as long as possible against Rangers this Saturday (12.30pm kick-off).

The head coach has so far fielded different elevens in each half for the friendlies with Ashton & Backwell United and Clevedon Town.

But against the Scottish giants, O’Driscoll says players will be given longer to impress.

He told bcfc.co.uk: “I aim to play one strong team for as long as I can before making changes. That’ll be better than playing two separate elevens, so we’ll see how we go.

“So far in the pre-season friendlies we’ve given those involved a 45-minute run out and we’ve not chopped and changed within that.

“We wanted two games early in pre-season for the players’ benefit, but more importantly to help out two local clubs.

“We’ve got four games left in pre-season and we’ll go away for a week for a training camp after the Rangers game too.

“I don’t really want to go into the season without knowing my best eleven.

“We have good players individually but that’s no good if they don’t operate as a team. That’s been the biggest problem.”

 

Be impossible to guess the team. Id go for

Fielding
Moloney Flint Williams Cunningham
Adomah Kelly Wagstaff
JET
Baldock Davies ​

 

It'll be a good game to watch.

Out of interest, who is going? I'm tempted to go, but I was in Manchester when Rangers came to town, and I certainly won't want to make that mistake twice.

 

I'm driving back to Blackpool from London so Bristol is a little out of my way unless I win Fridays euromillions of course then I'll be in hospitality

 

With Adomah handing in a transfer request today, will he feature I wonder ?

 

Doubt it S O'D will be looking towards the team that is going to play in the first match of the season and Albert was given extra time off from training because like Elliott he played during the summer. he might get a short run out towards the end but not long I wouldn't have thought.

 

Can't see why he would start Albert if he has asked to leave as it serves no purpose. If he did stay we already know what he can do so give Waggy a run.
