Both keepers are performing well, most of the conceded goals are down to defensive mistakes. I agree on the idea of consistency, but while I'm still finding the best combination of players, I'm moving the line up about to see what works.
That was down to a knock picked up with Andorra, Post is just starting to return to acceptable fitness levels after a couple of games for the U21s.

I'll see what I can do, won't be straight away though. I can pm you once I get around to hosting the relevant file.
Hamstring too, that's a tough one
At least it isn't a torn hamstring, that would have been much worse. Shouldn't affect Thompson too badly this time.

Teamsheet: STALYBRIDGE (A) (23/9/14)
(4-2-3-1 WIDE)
REDGRAVE
BANANA BURHEIM MANBEARPIG FIREBIRD
YAKIN II PALMER
POST BIGGUN BAKER
GOYZUETA
Bench: THAME, SCHWARZENEGGER, DANCE, LITMANEN, ROBERTS
Burheim returns for the injured Thompson, and Goyzueta returns up front. Biggun is given another chance at CAM, whilst Hogg's injury means Baker shifts back to LW. Yakin II is kept in and needs to build on his impressive showing last match. Post takes the armband in the absence of the main captains.

It took until the 25th minute for the deadlock to be broken, courtesy of a placed finish past the keeper by Palmer. He latched on to a delightful through ball by Goyzueta, and finished calmly. A curled ball by Banana in the 39th minute found stand in captain Post, who seized the opportunity and beat the keeper at the post to cap a memorable day for the player. It got even better for him 4 minutes later, when he tackled a defender in the box, and slotted past the helpless keeper.
A ranged shot from the edge of the area beat Redgrave to reduce the arrears slightly, before Post was subbed to a standing ovation. He may have been just short of the hattrick, but having only just reached required fitness levels, he was always unlikely to play the full 90. Litmanen came on as his replacement.
A superb finish from Goyzueta from an unlikely angle put us 4-1 ahead, so we looked at resting players with the FA Cup in mind. "Arnie" came on for Burheim, whilst Dance replaced the impressive Palmer. That came back to bite us though when Manbearpig went off injured; Yakin II was the one to shift to the back line.
Banana curled a cross onto Litmanen's head to make it 5, in what was the last major incident of the match. With the FA Cup just days away, there are definitely a few players making cases for their inclusion.
Ratings: Redgrave 7.1, Banana 9.2, Manbearpig 7, Burheim 6.8, Firebird 7.8, Palmer 7.7, Yakin II 8.6, Post 8.7, Biggun 7.1, Baker 7.6, Goyzueta 9. Subs: Schwarzenegger 6.6, Dance 6.5, Litmanen 7.2
NOTE. DUE TO LAPTOP REBOOTING, THIS MATCH NO LONGER EXISTS.

After a few pretty average performances, Banana suddenly steps up and has a stormer - hope for Thunderfoot it doesn't happen too often

It's given me a few problems for selection, much like Whyte/Firebird has
Yeah, around that level I would suspect, doesn't necessarily mean they'll always play like it though.
He's getting there, slowly. Same with Yakin II.
