Only thing I grow convinced by every week is that Hamer will not be a City player next season. Whether we’re Championship or L1.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Ok I see we're being exact... 3421 or 3412

Or 5212 or 5221... Depends how you look at it

It's obviously 5-3-2

So best hope we stay in this league and extort the maximum fee

 

[shmmeee]

Palace are dull most weeks but stay in the premier league... Based on this season just wanting to survive we have to find a way, we need the money and tbh I don't think 343 will keep us up as a starting formation

Why do you keep going on about 343? We’ve never played 343 and no one is asking us to.

 

[Dellboy87]

I don’t care about it being dull. Fact is we played much better football at the start of the season but getting better results now. Don’t think it’s tactics though, just having a lucky spell

Jesus Christ. You’ve previously attacked others for getting likes for some unknown reason.

You no doubt yourself have the fewest likes per post vs. anyone on here.

And now you’re basing ‘winning arguments’ on the number of likes you get?

Interesting reading the thoughts on the derby forum. They say if we were a better side we would have scored a few of the chances we had. Also they’ve only picked up 2 pts against WW and us so they feel completely deflated.

 

[Evo1883]

It's obviously 5-3-2

We played a box most of the time... So how can it be a 532...? Confused

It's actually 3412...

Or 5212.. The 212 is the box

 

[Tartan Specials]

Yeah tbh I don't have a problem with callum at all. He is an asset

My partner/girlfriend/burrd lives beyond the countyline -I'm all alone in Jockoland staring at the walls relying on Greg Downes and Radio Derby to keep me sane! - give me a big Sky Blue -hug!!

And they're up to 60 pages already !! a lot of them are talking relegation too

 

[shmmeee]

Ah right OK, you mean 2 up, I'm just on about wing backs in general, we played variations of it for around 10 matches

Our problem is ultimately one up top.

Last season the box worked as an actual 5221/3421 because we could ply possession football and control the middle. We don’t have that quality so our forward midfield two in 5221/4231 get pinned back to a flat five in midfield and leave a chasm between midfield and attack.

We have to go more direct and that means two up front. We have three decent CMs and three decent WBs and three decent CBs. In no way did the formation cost us those goals, injuries and adapting to the league did.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It's 5212

I'm talking about the 3 games where we clearly played with a flat central 3 (Reading/Forest/Watford). We went back to the box first half against Norwich then ended up again with a flat 3 in the later stages.

I think they are realistic. Can’t disagree with their comments. They looked neat and tidy, right back was quality. But they looked really brittle every time we threatened.

Did the nerdy totting up, G's posts per like is 3.8, mine is 3.2. Two can play this online dick measuring

Quite liked both of their wingers, time and again put in quality crosses from both sides

All set for tomorrow evening lads and lasses....

• Nottingham Forest v Watford
• Sheffield Wednesday v Reading
  
• Wycombe Wanderers v Stoke City

Three away wins please !!!!

 

[stevefloyd]

We may as well have had 10 men over Shipley tonight. He was that bad and I’m no big critic of his.

Oops...didnt I say that before the game started... well done Shipley for actually proving me right and I absolutely take no pleasure from it at all

Ok, I mean yea like I said we are nice to watch and look much more threatening going forward... But we lost 2 of those

Yes and for the umpteenth time I'm saying those losses weren't caused by the formation. We missed bags of sitters at Forest, Max chucks it right at the end. We miss sitters at Watford, go ahead and concede from a corner and O'Hare inexplicably handballing in the box.

How are either of those caused by us playing 5 at the back?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I'm averaging a like every 1.02 posts, what do I win?

 

[Martin180]

We seem to be playing players who aren’t fit , both McCallum and Dabo looked to be carrying knocks tonight
And we need to find a system that fits Sheaf into the side and allows Hamer to play further forward

We missed sitters tonight to be fair... The evidence suggests that the formation in question still leaked lots of goals... We conceded 7 in them 3 matches didn't we

I think Hill blows everyone out of the water on this ratio

 

[speedie87]

Bit concerning hoe many times this season we’ve made subs to try and win a game away and then conceded couple of mins later

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Walker touched the ball 10 times tonight btw

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

How many times did we play 5 at the back with our first choice backline?

Look at each of those 7 goals and tell me how many were caused by the formation. You could perhaps argue Watford's 1st goal but let's be honest we had McCallum playing at RWB that game.

This is what happens when you just solely look at the results and not the performances or anything else.

Putting Max on for Walker is not trying to win the game

Just popped in to say that Wilson was again very solid tonight. The last two games must has have been hard for him, so well played to him.

Different ratio fella

Only cos his dad works at the gif factory so he gets them before they're in Woolworths.
