Agreed

But Robins for some reason isn't doing that

Playing 3 5 2 and Lati Thomas Kitching as the back 3 the last proper game before Stoke has absolutely thrown me

Yes I know it's pre season but fuck me, what's he doing??

That's bizarre

Lati definitely has pictures of Robins doing something he shouldn't.

Off the back of Tuesday I'd hazard a guess we made over 100K.

Darmstadt was a waste of time, money and effort

Even the players were like 'what the fuck are we doing this for?'

I guess its to raise the profile of the club to an extent but I will give Doug a bye after the aquisition of our new striker this week

 

[shmmeee]

Maybe he can’t decide who is partnering Binks so is having a CB-off

Sister is coming to visit so can’t make this one… keeping my powder dry for Oxford.

Orange powder?

I think we’ll play a second string against Bristol and this will be a warm up for that. No other midweek games until October so plenty of time for recovery.

 

[mmttww]

Just wait and see how it goes FFS. If MR wants a squad that can effectively move between systems during a game, I'm into it.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Hosting a decent Bundesliga side at home; such an occasion surely warrants half and half scarves?

Here’s hoping.

352 is the best way to utilise JDS. Tats, Burroughs, MVE, Eccles have all had experience playing RWB so gives us an option if MVE ever gets injured. Means we can play BTA and Simms together. Rudoni Sheaf Torp Eccles Allen can all play in a midfield 3. Allows us to play our 3 Cb we have played money for. The defence may look solid in a 3 with a keeper who’s half decent in net.

I can understand it to be honest, not sure at the outrage

 

[Balli001]

This is my thoughts

Can't even consider 3 5 2 when you've got Tats Wright EMC Rodrigues for the wings

Rudoni doesn't fit into that either

I know it's a friendly but it literally makes zero sense for him to even try it

We don't actually know yet that's what the formation is. You have retired from being ITK after all

 

[Great_Expectations]

For some reason, and I have no idea why considering it's the last proper friendly.......


He's playing wing backs

Can only assume it's to see if Simms and BTA work well together and ensure minutes go into the legs of everyone


But I sincerely hope its just to try it as we are fucking shite in that setup

Hopefully this is your new (?) source’s Billy Gilmour moment!

Or it’s a ‘Saddlebrains Investigates’ situation.

Either way, I hope it’s not true. I missed Everton and I was really looking forward to us playing attacking football today!

 

[TomS91]

Could be 343?

I felt we were too open on the counter on Tuesday night, thankfully Everton were too shite to punish us. It was often our two centre halves dealing with 3 or 4 of them streaming forward.

Sacrificing a midfielder for an extra body at the back might be worth trying.

With the first choice players available you could play:

Thomas Kitching Binks

MVE Sheaf Rudoni Bidwell/Dasilva

Sakamoto Simms Wright/EMC

 

[The watchmaker]

Ah now this is interesting. We all know Robins loves a three, particularly in tough looking games. A lot of people saying we need another CB - for me that has only been a 'need' if Robins wants the tactical flexibility to switch to a 3.

 

[skybluecam]

Bremen have this down as a double header on their website?

 

[rexo87]

Yeah I’m very confused. They just put a side out with their ‘b’ team and then have replied to someone saying that they’re letting 2 11s have 90 minutes

 

[rexo87]

Yep there’s a game starting in 5 mins at one of our training grounds - presumably Ryton

Maybe this is for the first game then?

JDS shouldn't be anywhere near the starting lineup. We desperately need to strengthen at LB / LWB.

Some of our fans are just idiots.

Fukcing hell it's pre season and no matter what you say this system has worked in past and can work again.

[mark82]

Maybe it's wing backs in the early game.

[Skyblueweeman]

Is the line up shown anywhere?

[TomRad85]

What's the point in this earlier game? Is it just a run out for the younger players from both teams?

Not that I can find but so far I know Wilson, Betjemann, Broad, Tavares and Obikwu are playing

Ahahahah not even given updates now. We’ve broken them.

Broad?

Sounds like players who won’t get any time this afternoon.

Broad?

Academy? What position?

I agree, but the wing back system emphatically does not work. Variations on a 4-4-2 however would certainly be worth trying out
