Needs a major overhaul. We needs goals in there. Fleck, O'Brien, Thomas dont offer anywhere near enough threat and wont score 5 goals between them. Only one of them should play at any time. Once Pressley sees sense and goes 4-4-2 I actually think the back 4 has enough options. I think our strikers cant even be judged too much as we dont create enough chances.
Very fair point about the lack of goals. Can't see many goals at all coming from those 3.
They don't do anything offensively either, how many goals/assists do they provide?2 of fleck, Thomas or o'brien are not defensively good enough to play in a central midfield 2 in a 442

We could start by playing obrien in his natural position and swanson when he returns , we need a good authoritive figure in the middle
Most wingers that play centrally , seem to have issues ...Swanson is gash. Would rather play o'brien one side and coulibaly the other, but only if we sign 2 new central midfielders

I'm no sure what Pressley was thinking when he decided not to sign any central midfielder, then signing 5 strikers when he will won't be able to use them all an signing 2/3 wingers and then not using wingers. Signed no wing backs and decided to play with wing backs. Nuts

true, but i can only judge on what i've seen....that a a peak at his career stats which tells me he's struggle to be first choice everywhere he's been.
Did that Petrasso lad go anywhere else In the end?
So what? 2 or 3 games? Glad that we're again writing a player off after very little play time, always good that. Maybe we can start booing him next time he plays too!
It seems like O'Brien gets marked out of most of the games he plays in cus the other team know how much of a danger man he can he. He doesnt suit the 532. He's a wide man. As is Swanson. Fleck has been top this season. Great passer, never stops running, gets stuck into challenges, whats not to like? Thomas needs to be kept out of the team at all costs. Dreadful this season. Absoloutley woeful. Seems like the potential he once had is gone. League 2 becons for him. Who to bring in tho? Daniels cant tackle for shit so I wouldn't put him in. Barton has been pushed out so I cant see him being brought back unless he wows Pressley in training (I hope he does, he deserves another go). I think Lawton could be in with a shout for the next game seeing as Finch is suspended. Also Coulibaly could be a shout. Does he suit a central role tho? Decisions decisions

We've gone from a 25-goals a season midfield to a 10 goals a season midfield. Not to mention how many chances the previous midfielders created. Let's not forget last season we were one of the top-scoring teams in the division until Clarke left and Wilson got injured. This season all of our goal-scoring midfield and strikers are gone. You reap what you sow.
I think our strikers cant even be judged too much as we dont create enough chances.
It's interesting how te CM has evolved this season, from O'Brien being a threat hard working potential goal scorer. to a lost wasted player in the cm who yet again for the 3rd time in 3 games been carried for almost all the time he was on the pitch! Fleck is out muscled, out fought and doesn't even do his passing well! He IMO is being targeted and ruffled up as the opposition know in doing so he doesn't run the game! Thomas is just not good enough, Robins never played him and brought Bailey.... It seems he was right after all!
although finch played CB yesterday, which he's not, against Rochdale in midfield he did everything we needed, him plus another, at the moment would be one of my two CM players in a 442. The scarry thing is I don't think we have the type of midfielders we need!
All other league 1 sides have tall hard midfielders who can pass as well! We don't, and that isn't the owners, that's the manager who has brought in players and has a philosophy that at the moment is dyeing on its arse!
If Reda comes bk and it works brilliant, but if it doesn't.....
Thomas was injured for pretty much the whole of 2012/13 season.....and Robins never played Fleck either (or Barton).
We had a base of
Jennings Bailey
Then
Baker moussa/sheff Sheff/moussa
DMC/Clarke
