What is your problem?

We had no shape yesterday. We play out and out strikers on the wing. The formation with the current players available doesn't work. Once all fit it could work. I would prefer to see 4-4-2 next week. Back to basics against a strong Millwall team. Reid on one wing, Jones if fit on the other. Put crosses in for the front 2.

Not saying return to 4-4-2 as when we changed to this against Northampton last week they definitely came more into the game. The problem for me yesterday was that both wing backs either couldn't or wouldn't run with the ball to the goal line. Countless times they received the ball mid way in the Fleetwood half and either passed it back or crossed from that position. Fleetwood dealt easily with 99% of these crosses. Not impressed with either of these lads as wing backs as yet. As attacking threats I would say that at the moment DKE and Haynes look the better options. I would like to see genuine attacking players running at the opposing full back and getting crosses into the box. I am not sure that this is not simply outdated thinking now as so few teams do it.

Spot on just the way I saw it.
Thought Bigi was MOTM. McCann was a letdown.

Christ agree with you. It was as if the wing backs were told not to go into the final 3rd

Yes a bit frustrating there were times they had no one to beat would stop and pass it back or sideways.

TBF don't believe we have any out and out strickers .
Certainly have on one who can score.

I would give him a run in the team to be fair.
I know some don't like him but we really have nothing to lose, the ones there at the moment aren't doing it.IMHO

Also one of a couple of players who's actually scored!

We had 2 6ft + players playing out on the wing. They should be in the box and having balls delivered into them. The service from wing backs yesterday was non existent.

Tbf the left wing back put a number of crosses in, especially first half but the two strikers weren't really in the area as they have to get involved in the build up.

Page did put 2/3 good crosses in that hit the centre of the box but Sordell and Agyei were too far apart and Fleetwood defender Nathan Pond cleared up every time. One thing to note was Agyei is not keen to header.
Think our corners need looking at too, lost count of times in the second half the ball went over Willis head. Someone needed to be in his shadows.
one corner in the first half 6 ccfc players were at the front post!

The problem is they all need 1 or 2 extra touches by which time they are closed down.

I recognised it from somthing, but wouldnt have guessed that. Still thought it was an awful choice for goal music
