A shape change

As pointed out in the match thread, we have been over run in midfield in all 3 league games.

And also Teams have worked out you stop our wing backs, you stop us.

We need to try and dominate the midfield again as we did last season.


Marosi

Dabo. Rose. Hyam. Mccallum
Ohare Kelly Sheaf Hamer Giles
Godden



You would think Dabo would still overlap and ohare Hamer and Gules would still make enough chances for godden.


Feel free to tell me im talking shit

Think Hamer will be suspended for a lengthy period if he did spit at Cook

This is hypothetical strongest team available

Missing Kelly massively at the moment. Hopefully the 2 week break will allow him to get back up to speed and back into the XI

I don't think he did it or it would of come out after the game. There would of also been a bigger reaction from the Bournemouth players.

I think we’re likely to go two up top with O’Hare in behind soon enough, Allen and Shipley not quite at the races and it gives us the option of a long out ball which then gives the wing backs time to push up.

There's no way we change shape yet.

This formation won us the league and we've had a decent start with it so far this season. It's way too early to be talking about changing system.

As LG says above we may go two up top at some point soon because Allen & Shipley have started poorly and Walker/Baka deserve a go soon.

The big worry for me is that in the last two games we’ve come up against two sides who have pressed us high and we’ve not been able to cope. We’ve had one non-penalty shot on target in 180 minutes and that was Hamer having a speculative shot from 30 yards.

Agreed, though we have also hit the woodwork three times in those 180 mins

Our biggest problem isn't our shape, it's the fact that we consistently give the ball away, even when under no pressure.
We need to adjust to the pace of the championship and the quality that's needed to compete.
I'm confident that we will adapt given time.
Bournmouth gave us a lesson and showed us how far we need to go to compete in this league, it's now up to the team to raise the bar.

There's also little goal threat in that team. Godden and O'Hare and that's it. Even our 2 most dangerous players from set pieces aren't in the team.

It’s near enough impossible for us to reach that level without spending loads of money. Look at the quality of player we have

We will learn from yesterday and will get better, beating Bournemouth was always a tough ask they are a lower end prem team With plenty of established premier players in their team who have played together for some time, we are a just promoted division one team building and finding our way. Let’s see how we cope next time we play them. We have a run of fancied teams now Brentford, Swansea, Blackburn. that lot are going to be a good indication on how far we have come and need to go.

I think having seen them in action and ourselves we could well lose the lot and that’s no exaggeration.

I agree, im struggling to see where we will pick up points in the next 4 games.

The next 8 look fairly grim

I also disagree that it’s good to get them out of the way in one go. You lose a whole bunch of games it makes the easier ones harder. We need points on the board.

It’s a good job that games are not played on opinions. Let’s revisit this in 4 games.

Looking at Luton last season they also got a fair number of hidings but squeezed home in the end. I think we need to take them as an example of what’s likely to happen

If last night was played on the opinion of some here we’d have won 2 or 3-1

The teams we play in the next 3 have similar aspirations to Bournemouth. I would be happy if we can get 1 point from 9.

The lockdown and manager change saved Luton

Don’t think we’ll change manager unless miles adrift

Agreed Stoke firing Jones was the catalyst for Luton’s survival. And their own...

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

We don’t really have the players to play anything but 5 defenders. We don’t have any fit wide players. Eventually, we’ll end up playing Walker and Gooden upfront. Unless, we switch to 3-4-3 with a combination of Giles/O’Hare/Jobello/Hilßner as wide players.

It’s early in the season, too many people are panicking already.
