What do you think will be Saturday's Line Up, Should have a full bench too. Or if Shearer not fit Perkins in the Middle of the park and Solomon next to Mooro?
On What youve seen does the club have a squad that SHOULD be Challenging for a play off spot. Or is a solid season flirting with the top half a great first full season for Ade after previous Managers have failed miserably.

Assuming that Shearer has been training I would risk putting him in alongside Moore. There is no opportunity to assess his match fitness, not having a reserve side, so whenever he returns to the side match fitness will always be an issue - might as well be now as later. If we don't play him I would go with Lew Watts partnering Moore.
What should be of concern is that as of Monday we are missing both Stadhart and Kedwell(28 day suspension) and Pinnock isn't exactly a prolific scorer. Our cover is yet another striker unproven at this level. I hope that the potential that Ade has seen in Penfold comes to fruition or goals are likely to be hard to come by.

Bruno, he needs a similar signing to the one when we signed Gary Roberts or even Mark Cooper (successful for a spell) someone who will come in and put it away without fuss. Stadhart and Kedwell out for a month with just Pinnock and Some bloke no ones heard of is not good enough a situation to be in. Even if we hammer Dorchester i will still hold this view. Maybe switch Owen to the right and have Perkins in the middle with Daisy and sling Matty upfront with Pinnock??
To be Frank, he obviously knew Kedders was in the dock and facing a ban and should have brought someone PROVEN in before. I wonder if Charlton will give us someone like Lisbie if we ask nicely for a month?
Its possible to build a platform to challenge for the play offs by bringing in a PROVEN scorer or we can continue showing no ambition and see our weakened side drop into the middle to lower regions.
Everyone can see we havent replaced Booth and need to and PDQ if you ask me.
I'd also like to see Watts stay at Right Back v Dorch and if Owen isnt in the Right Midfield slot push Gledhill up (Not Watts). Lew deserves a bit of backing, you dont become **** and deserve hounding over night.

see solomon today and i don't think he would be good enough at the back.
and not in a million years would i use a 4-5-1, 4-5-1 in my eyes is playing for a draw if your lucky a win. only team who i would use the 4-5-1 with is chelsea maybe arsenal.
4-4-2 with pinnock and perkins upfront and carruthers and clarke on the flanks owen and daisy in the middle. same back four, only real weakness there is mooro's pace and Lee.
The Moore and Shearer pairing which looked so promising in the PSF's failed to live up to expectation when Shearer dropped back into the defence after Perkins went off. I even heard mumblings that Lew should be on. Maybe that undercurrent will grow and as and when Lew comes on and he makes an error (as most players will do in any game) he will not be crucified by an element of the crowd as he was last season and has been when he has played this season.
Pinnock only succeded in reinforcing my view of him today. He is undoubtably a hardworking skilful player but does not look like a goalscorer at this level. I really hope that he manages to turn it on over the next four weeks but I'm not convinced that he will. We didn't get to see Penfold today but it looks like we might be relying on him to get goals.
