Are you seriously suggesting that we drop Mackie, Henry and Whyte in order to create some Mike Bassett inspired 442? There has been some rubbish on here, but this takes the pissing cake!!!There is an incredible amount of naivety on here from some people regarding the fact we are playing teams lower down the table.
Regardless of where teams are in the table we still need to score to beat them, at what stage this season and against who have we looked like scoring regularly?
As soon as a team work out you aren’t going to hurt them they are able to commit more forward, this is turn causes our problematic defence to come under more pressure increasing the chances of us conceding.
What have people seen so far to Suggest the above isn’t going to happen?
I don’t buy it when people claim a draw at home to Sunderland is a good result and something to take heart from, since then they’ve not beaten Blackpool and Accrington at home so If you take the name Sunderland out of the equation is it really that impressive?
The club haven’t managed to address any of the issues that were apparent after the opening game of the season.
I accept it is difficult to sign a centre toward during Jan, but why haven’t they done anything about the back 4?
We don’t currently have a full back either side that is deemed good enough, we also only have Nelson who is of sufficient standard at centre half.
How has he been able to get away with signing the Algerian bloke to play in midfield (who doesn’t look good enough) rather than put Ruffels in there who has been more than capable and sign a left back?
If Garbutt has always been a left winger as he claimed recently, why did the clown sign him as a left back? Why play him as a left back?
Put players in their correct position and you give yourself half a chance of being successful.
Find me another team in League 1 (or any league) who is consistently playing people out of position more than Robinson is......
Surely, the most obvious thing to do, is go back to basics and play 442 and at least give us a chance of success with players in the positions they play.
Eastwood
Long Nelson Mousinho Garbutt
Graham Ruffels Branagan Browne
Sinclair. Smith
Subs
Mackie
Henry
Dickie
Whyte
carruthers
Hanson
Etc etc
Two up front is a must just to occupy their back 4 and try and get them on the back foot.
This would at least give the team half a chance of scoring some goals.
Garbutt looked poor, Ruffels has been more than steady. Mous has held our midfield together and allowed Brannaghan to have a far greater influence. Absolute joke of a post!!!
