I think Norburn has to be left out, he offers nothing defensively (he cannot tackle and he rarely makes interceptions) and for a defensive midfielder that would seem to be the point of his inclusion, and going forward he slows everything down and rarely makes a forward pass of any note. Almost any of our other midfielders would be better, Byers as the anchor is a must, Kady with a free role behind the front two, and then either Virtue if we want box to box, Carey if we want to be on the front foot and give the opposition defence something else to think about other than Kady, morgan if we want a proper ball playing midfielder (if hes fit. If we are going full on defensive midfielder who will break up play and just give the ball to someone more creative, then put Connolly there who can do that role I would even consider putting either Hubby (if fit) or Casey in a defensive mid role both read the game well, can both defend , and both can carry the ball. Might be slightly risky but nothing is as risky as having Norburn in there.
If Rhodes is fit he's selected then its one of Bees, Joseph or Lavs depending on how we want to play (obviously not thinking about playing defensive and negative).
if we want to get into the play-offs we have to win 5 out of our six games, possibly all six, so it has to be all out, getting on the front foot, running at opposition defenders, controling the midfield, and out of possession pressing to win the ball back from the front line. Sitting back, being solid and hoping to nick a goal just isnt going to work - it hasnt all season.
