You're the Gaffer

Matchday
Courtney's name is chanted by the Brunton fans – they know it's a big game for him, but an even bigger one for the trophy-starved club.
Your team is: Heinrich; Press, Loire, Stickel; Baxter, Carr, Wessels, Wince; Joo Joo; Ebouwe, Courtney.
Clapton start really well and deservedly take the lead after 14 minutes. Rather than dent confidence, the goal shakes Brunton up and they begin to play with more composure and purpose.
The equaliser arrives just past the half hour when Ebouwe's shot is parried and Baxter answers his critics by drilling home the loose ball.
Brunton continue to boss the game and it's no surprise when Joo Joo sets up Courtney for a much-needed goal, both for the team and himself.
The hosts appear in little trouble but Clapton change tactic by bringing on a second towering centre-forward and pumping long balls towards him.
Stickel can deal with one but not two and Press and Loire, though outstanding today, lack height.
Do you take off one of them and bring on no-nonsense McTay or back the duo to continue their understanding.
