They have been poor but only Thompson as CB cover is a bit of a worry. Pretty happy with that otherwise.

Pask can play centre half

I am happy with the setup today but it's annoying that we've gone to a back four 3 days after the last game which we had 2 weeks to prepare for and decided to go for the same system that hasn't worked all season. It looks likes desperation.

If it works I will not give two shits what it looks like though.

“3 wins and 2 draws from the next 8”

Have we hit that form at any point this season?

Nope ..but there's no time like the present

Well we’ve got the 442 people were screaming for. Not convinced myself. Basically the same mess of a midfield as before but with two up front and four at the back. No Hyam or Rose I guess means you have to play this but looks very thrown together, no width, little attacking intent outside the front three, let’s hope it works out.

Not sure why marosi is back in the team tbh, he’s made too many mistakes this season. Wilson is the better keeper.

Stick a Richard Shaw in there and we’d be sorted

That's not a 442 surely ?

 

[SBchimp]

Didn't he just fill in at CB a couple of times in the 23s?

He played most of his academy life as a CB. But switched to CM as he’s not tall enough

It’s the Andy Thorn diamond 442 none the less. Unless Eccles is playing CB.

Wasn't aware of that.

According to SBT Eccles is a wing back, centre back, defensive midfielder and a box to box midfielder...

What?! Marosi made one mistake against QPR, but also, he prevented the score from being about 10-0.

Wilson has also made lots of mistakes this season.

Perhaps Eccles is in goal and Marosi is starting in midfield anyway.

RWB ???

Or at RWB

The time for risks is upon us.

Coud be argued Forest, Blues etc were the time.

Completely didn’t register there was a game today and I’m stuck at the in laws for Easter Monday lunch. Sneakily watching on my phone it is!

Happy enough with the team, although I’d still like to see Pask in his favoured position. Pleased to see Eccles in there.

Everyone wanted to see Godden and Walker together, so they have their wish. I know they’ve played together before but they both seem fairly similar players so I’m interested to see how it’ll work.

Jury is out on Walker thus far - potential is definitely there, but he doesn’t always find it and isn’t consistent enough yet.

Hoping our strongest two strikers pay off today, if they both find their form and COH is on it behind them (as he almost always is), I’m optimistic about today.

Indeed. I think if we were a 3/4 points ahead of where we are he'd still be playing it safe. I dunno, just hope it brings the points in today.

 

[Speedies_Chips]

No he’s not, after da Costa’s poor performance there though Robins wants to change things up. My guess is he asked hamer to play and he said no so Eccles is there

I don't think a managers selection policy involves asking a player if he doesnt mind playing a particular position or not. If Robins wanted Hamer to play RWB, he tells him that is what he will be doing!

I would like to think having the two central defenders as they are, we have a bit of grit and determination, absent of the main liabilities.

I would like to think, being the optimum words there.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Robins going for shit or bust.

[fatso]

We need to keep an eye on Wells, he’s capeable of causing us big problems.

We need to respect the opposition, not fear them.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Or even the first 90

Keep them out for 90 and then concede 2 in stoppage time knowing our luck.

 

[SkyBlues20]

You will see when the game starts, I’m 90% sure that’s what we’re playing

We will indeed see, but given Eccles has never played RWB I'd be astonished

Hamer is one of our best (if not the best) attacking players, pretty sure he wouldn’t be happy being asked to play RWB

I'd be concerned more than anything

 

[Philosoraptor]

Is this the first outing for the Godden/Walker partnership?

 

[procdoc]

I doubt Robins would chuck an inexperienced kid in out of position at right wingback
