O'Hare can't sell himself unless he is playing.

I think the deal has already been done, and he doesn't need to sell himself as he's available on a free.
And He'll already know who he's playing for next season.

Lads we got to the play off final playing 3-5-2 or a variation of it last season, it is not the problem per sē. The reality is we just don't have the players to play 4-3-3 so we need to try and do something else.

I'm very much hoping Eccles RWB is one of my mams todger tugs

That team can play 433 i feel

100% it can - Kelly/eccles hold. Torp 10 then palmer / wright interchanging - then just work hard. Simple.

Interesting re COH.

If we set up as 5, I really do loose faith.

Disagree. It can be 4222 / 4231 / 433 / anything but 5. It’s dated, we look horrifically slow and passive playing it, like we did all season up to Preston.

 

[Offhegoes]

Eccles was superb at Leicester at RWB on the opening game of the season. If this is the formation tonight then I prefer Josh there then Lati.

If that's the case and Robins is in on it, I wouldn't let him anywhere near the club again. Let him sit it out somewhere and Id love to get to Wembley just to have him miss out again.

4222 was dreadful at West Brom, does not work with O'Hare and Palmer occupying the same space

4231 does not work with the players available

4-3-3 on BBC. Not that that means much.

Oh give it a rest man, if he's here and we are paying him then he plays, end of. It is silly not to use a player that you are paying

Maybe MR has chosen that team because it has the personnel to switch from 3ATB to a back 4.

it does - its just Palmer for Tats. It's about mindset - that's down to robins and adi.

It was 3 at back and WBA - it was horrid. Its had its day.

It's got that vibe hasn't it.........various bits starting to add up.

 

[Nick]

If Eccles rwb then mve will come on for Kelly and Eccles into midfield. 62nd minute

 

[blunted]

To quote the modern day philosophers of Fun Boy Three and Bananarama;


It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results

Have a bit of decorum first recorded by Harry James, Jimmy Lunceford and Ella Fitzgerald. A jazz standard and a much better version.

the award for the least supportive post by somebody claiming to be a supporter goes to...

Ooooh, sorry Positive Pants.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

100% it can. Lati at RB, Torp AM, Palmer RW... its not completely ideal obviously but its far better than the alternative.

It is better than the alternative, but those cucking for a back 5 will probably feel vindicated when we win, as it's Rotherham we are playing who could frankly be beaten with five men playing a 5-a-side diamond formation.

Using the same logic playing 4-3-3 tonight is no conclusive proof of anything either

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Could potentially be a diamond, no? Kelly at the base and Palmer at the tip with Eccles and Torp in the middle?

If you wanted to ignore the rest of this season then sure.

I doubt if he'd be overly bothered tbf.

He's happy counting his dosh!

 

[shepardo01]

We'll play a cobbled together 3/5/2 and win tonight - Robins will think it's ok, do the same against Watford who are struggling for confidence - we'll sit off them instead of getting at them early on - be two down after 25 mins, he'll change it back on 70 and we'll lose 3-1.

 

[Nick]

Might be looking into it too much but ohare is warming up on his own. Just stood on his own doing volleys.

Whilst you ignore last year? And league 1?

It's 3 at the back, you can see from the warm up

Do you think he should be sacked? Serious question

Short answer, no. Lots to say on why - but not time now at the match.

 

[Nick]

Now he's not

 

[shepardo01]

Got a feeling that this might be a 3/5/2 when out of possession - then he'll move Eccles up to be part of a 3 when in possession??? (If it is to be believed that Eccles is RWB)
He clearly hasn't got confidence in our defence - admitted it after the Preston game.
It needs good discipline and hard work to do this.

 

[Viktor17]

People referencing 532 last season as a marker: We had a freak up front, which meant we could just go back to front with out any care on quality of ball because he would just get hold of it and more often than not get something. Then we had a midfielder who basically played as a 6/8/10 and was so dynamic in last 3/4 months. That hid a lot of flaws.

We no longer have those 2 players. The change to 433/4321 this year showcased our players in there best light, we looked dynamic and full of excitement during our good run. One man should not change that, yes its not ideal, but the alternative is frankly horrid - as Friday showed.

 

[ccfcchris]

There'll be a massive meltdown tonight if we don't win.

Justified ?

You're right actually.

In fact, we should play exactly how we did back in 1923.
