How many times have played this season with our first choice team... It means very little... The management have the statistics, the analytics... They will know where we are weak, how we are losing games and they've tried to remedy it...
Am I the only person who thinks this guy’s becoming a pain in the backside?
You think the way we are playing is easy on the eye ?

Of course it means a lot. We were shipping goals while playing a left footer or a player clearly not good enough at right back and our captain and best defensive midfielder out. Now they're back we don't concede as much so we should clearly try and put some more attacking elements into our game by doing what got us scoring goals. It also means all of our best players end up in their best positions.
Who were we missing tonight from our first choice 4-2-3-1 XI aside from Marosi?
Godden and arguably sheaf would normally start
A lone striker has to offer more than Walker does in general play, for me we don't have that type of player for this level so we need to go 2 up top.
The goals, as have been pointed out to you, were due to mainly individual errors or poor work at set pieces. Not by playing wing backs.
We've scored 2 goals, one a massive error, while we've had 1 striker on the pitch in 10 games.
So Obviously the system is a factor then isn't it... Exactly like the wing back systems being a factor in us conceding so many right?
I genuinely think it is. Other than Fadz kicking the ball (and in fairness that's what he's been trained to do) aimlessly up the park, we're pretty comfortable on the ball. Derby's centre half was bought by Arsenal for 2.5 million as a seventeen year old. Perspective and all that. Anyways, here's to staying up.You think the way we are playing is easy on the eye ?
What I was trying to point out was that you can isolate individual statistics to make things look better or worse. The formation not being the be all and end all, our lack of scoring now isn't just down to the formation, it's down to the players we have in it being out of position, the areas in the field we play leaving the striker too isolated and playing it long at the wrong time. Just like conceding before wasn't down to playing 532 it was down to silly individual mistakes and a zonal system from set pieces.
