Did he used to have a name for it?

Dion

Work that one out - numerous different options; 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 4-4-2?

Either way, credit to MR for dropping Chaplin, he isn’t completely blinded. Time for the others to take their chance.

I think it’ll be:

Burge
Sterling Willis Hyam McCallum
Meyler Shipley
Thomas Westbrooke Bright
Hiwula

Or

Burge
Sterling Willis Hyam McCallum
Thomas Meyler Westbrooke Shipley
Hiwula Bright

Shipley in to support McCallum?

Again, it’s a strong team and a bench that can change things.

These were my guesses!

 

[chiefdave]

Bloke in on loan for less than 2 days made captain.

Don't agree with that. Does not say much about the future of Willis either.

Robins seems to prefer someone in that position to be captain. Should it be Westbrooke or Shipley just because they've been here longer?

 

[chiefdave]

Robins doesn’t change the team - everyone moans that we’re not winning and he won’t change it.

No

 

[Great_Expectations]

Looks a 4-3-3.

 

[Nick]

Will be interesting to see if this works

 

[Johhny Blue]

Here we go. Looking forward to 45 minutes of great football. Followed by 45 minutes of Coventry City

 

[Esoterica]

Clive shitting himself because not only can he not tell our own players apart he now can't tell the difference between the Cov and Gillingham kit. Should be fun listening!

 

[higgs]

We have a captain today who captained his country it's a no brainer to me

Finally getting rid of that shitty ex only to replace them with another ogre isn't progress my friend.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Said Doyle was forced out and he isn't happy with the club.

We all love him but it was a case of the right time to take old Yeller out behind the barn

 

[Nick]

Shipley number 10?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Pitch is an absolute joke again.

I have genuinely seen better pitches at Sunday league level.

 

[higgs]

Meyler nailed anyone yet?

Shipley number 10?

Not what I’m seeing.

He’s left of a midfield three.

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Why are both teams in blue?
Why can’t clive spit his words out?
Why does our left side consist of mccallum and Shipley?
So many questions

 

[Johhny Blue]

So Chaplin has ended up on the bench, Which is exactly where he was at Portsmouth. It’s just taken us over half a season to realise that’s his best possition.

We had to wait until JCH freed up the spot

Good man management from Robins.

Give extra responsibility to a player who has suspect discipline and who needs a boost to their esteem.

Could well be a master stroke!

Notts County with a midfield of Doyle and Jim O'Brien.

They won't get relegated.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Almost a perfect pass there, ooooooh we've got David Meyler

Oooooh the better version of Bayliss in the middle

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

Ogogo starting for Rovers and JCH on bench.

Can’t have been injured here then!!

Not sure what position McCallum is playing but it was a good thing he wasn’t at left back just now when hyam missed the ball

They'll switch in the 64th minute

 

[Great_Expectations]

Not sure on the formation yet, we’re very narrow and Hiwula is isolated.

Bright looks lively, just never in his actual position.

How do you know it’s not his position if you don’t know the formation? :emoji_thinking:

At least we've held onto our isolation strategy

 

[Philosoraptor]

you lot are very quiet for the first fifteen minutes.

Still working out what's going on with gameplay?

If the gane was won on corners it would be over but it isn’t

I was just looking at that on BBC sport.

 

[oucho]

Just looked again at the team sheet. Of our 10 outfielders, only one had played for us prior to the start of last season. Maybe that's justbhow football generally is now, but such turnover seems crazy to me.

 

[Nick]

We still aren't committing forward, worse than usual

 

[Nick]

They should have scored
