It it were me I would put basey out in the left wing position as he has played there before and worked well with youga plus he can cross o good ball.
Move bailey inside, put john jo on the bench and give mckenzie a chance up front with deon.
Also if semedo is fit drop racon to the bench.
On the bench I would have
racon
sodji
john jo
wagstaff
mcloud
spring
Randolph
that's what I think, now it's open to debate.

I'll start with this, the match reports stated yesterday,
Subs not used: Randolph, Solly, Basey, Tuna.
They shouldn't have been used either, infact they shouldn't even be on the bench, the fact that they are shows that our strength in depth is desperately short, it's also inadequate.
Racon on the bench is as much of a no no as Basey is off it, the only way we will cure our left midfield problem is by bringing one in, that is of course if PP is adamant that he is not going to give Holden a chance.
Bailey is knackered, the cause, running up and down the wing for 90 minutes, he can't do it, he's not built for it and he hasn't got the fitness levels for it surely this is explained by the fact that he no longer ghosts in at the far post as the last man to get on the end of crosses that fly over Burton's head.
Talking of Burton he's probably our shortest player yet he is our target man up front ffs, he should be getting utilised better, he will score goals playing off a target man and not actually being one himself.
Sodje on the bench is another definite NO from me, he is the much better player between himself and Llera and jumps higher so is more of an aerial threat.
One thing I would consider is moving Dailly to left back and putting Youga on the left of midfield but I would be reluctant to change two positions in order to remedy one.
To be honest the problems we have with an unbalanced squad can't be remedied in house, the players are not there to do it so we need a left midfielder and a striker.
Exeter's useful winger Craig Noone is only there on loan from Plymouth until January, Odejayi is only at Colchester until January too from Barnsley, if I were PP I would be making some noises now in the direction of Home Park and Oakwell in preparation for when January comes, loan deals are not like they used to be, there is a fee involved these days and if we can't offer a loan payment that exceeds Exeter's and Colchester's then feck me it's going to be League 1 again next season.
If we by some miracle do have some cash to spend then as far as a winger goes Sam Saunders has to be the man.
This maybe demed by some as an over reaction considering PP has only lost 1 of around 18 league games, but I can assure you that it isn't, teams have cottoned on to us so we have to change our style or at least add some variation to it, the thing is we can't because PP has assembled a squad who can only play one way, the way we did in the first 6 games but what has happened since and as the saying goes you are only as good as your last result.

I was going on what we have avaible and I belive basey is a good player who needs a run like most do. Yes could try Holden but could move the bench around to feature him.
To fit semedo and baily in the midfield something has to give especialy if we go 2 upfront. Yes burton is not the tallest but he does have good hold up play which would benifit mckenzie.
I would favour mckenzie over mcloud because the barnet game he did not really cover himself in glory and as for Saturday need I say more about that.
It's agreed that we need to bring players in but it ain't gonna happen to the transfer window as the board I doubt will sanction loan signings, so we need to look at what we do have, which ain't a lot.
As for the defence the only change would be sodji for lleara, but lleara did not have a bad game Saturday so why Drop him. Keep sodji for later.
This then leaves a good mix on the bench to change things around with.

Drop Burton, Shelvey, Spring..Burton needs a kick up the backside, Shelvey needs a rest and Spring just unlucky
4-4-2
McLeod and McKenzice up front..move bailey into centre and either play Holden or Wagstaff on the left
Drop Racon he is the only decent player we have...build a team around him
