Time to experiment?

Two games left, the only thing left to play for is to avoid finishing 21st in the bottom league which would be our lowest ever league finish. But it could be an opportunity for trying out new tatics, formations and players - so will Fletch go for it ?, perhaps he will; as Ollie Chenoweth will start tomorrow in goal against the mighty Morecombe.

Yeah why not? Nothing to gain, nothing to lose! Just get them out there and let them play with no pressure!

Welcome Cabbage!

How the heck did you arrive at that Moniker?

Chenoweth in goal tomorrow? Good move from Fletch, lets hope he gives a few other youngsters some 1st team squad experience too. In our situation it's the youngsters we'll be depending on to fill squad places over the next few seasons - let's see what they're made of.

No sign of Freathy, so I'll comment on Chenoweth in goal........


Another lacklustre, lack of imagination squad from Fletcher, 6-0 we are doomed if this is how he is going to play next season.


Fletcher OUT!
Brent OUT!
This Club has NOT been saved!!


Actually, it might be a good move, seen what the Yoof can do.

I have a problem with him playing too many youngsters. We know what they are made of as most of them were in the first team at some point at the beginning of the season. That's when we were being beaten regularly. If he is to experiment at all then I would hope it would be positional and tactics. With Nelson alongside Purse why not give Blanchard a run in midfield for example and go all out in attack for a change.

Looks like Fletch is going to make some changes,hearing him talk yesterday he said he would give "the fringe players" a chance while still putting out at team to win the game.Hope it comes off - good to see he is trying out things before next season.

Agreed SG. Although giving the young goalie a run-out to see how he copes is a decent shout.

Today's line up. Good enough to win the game I reckon.

33 Ollie Chenoweth; 2 Durrell Berry, 5 Darren Purse (capt), 22 Maxime Blanchard, 3 Robbie Williams; 15 Luke Young, 20 Conor Hourihane, 13 Ladjoe Soukouna, 31 Ashley Hemmings; 32 Alex MacDonald, 10 Steve Fletcher.

The average age of that team was 21 until you included Steve Fletcher, it's now 42.

Well they're doing okay so far.

Well in the end he did'nt play many fringe players - and we are losing,could end up only 2pts safe,disappointing.Well done Hereford,well done The Gulls.

And we were losing because the young goalie cocked up big time. Sorry but not the time to play the kids again and pre-season would have been plenty soon enough. I would much rather have seen the experiment being with tactics than this.

The tactics are obvious sensible...score early and try to stop them scoring in the next 85 minutes..........Fletcher needs to turn over to page two of his manual assuming that he has a page two.......uh uh doh.

I know what the tactics have been ZYPH and fair enough as far as I'm concerned until relegation was a distant nightmare. If you want experiments then now is the time to do it with the first team squad not youngsters. Now is the time to go all out and see what happens and if it cocks up then nobody gets hurt. I was never in favour of putting some of the youngsters back in or giving any a first team run out just because you can. I would hope that he has learned all he needs to have learned from last Saturday and this Saturday we see a different experiment altogether.

You never win nothing with youngsters.Argyle didn't at the beginning of the season and they aint going to now.You need seasoned old pros for this league.Course and Distance players I think Luggy called them.Not fancy dans.
