4-4-2 doesn't work when we have won twice and kept to clean sheets before today and I think because it was new cb pairing because we lost.how was his selection naive and reactionary?he played the same steam that kept two clean sheets and won two games apart from edge in for wood.jennings was our best player in first 15 mins and best player second half. You have to much love for moussa as he took a random shot which was a waste as well but don't mention that he was as poor as fleck. Wilson never "should've scored" he cold have scored but he had to run across goal to get the his head to the ball so instead of being in the centre he was past the near post meaning it would be very hard to score from.
We beat Bury and Crewe 2-0 using 4-4-2, ok, that's good, but in both games, if you went, we were poor (please don't use that cliche) Bury are possibly the poorest side I have seen for a long long time, and Crewe, we were poor, we had a good spell of 2m in stoppage time, a lucky OG kicked it off. Why was his selection naive and reactionary? Because the team that won those 2 games, there were poor players that should've been dropped, Bailey, Jenno, Sheff and Elliott haven't played well enough to start, he should mixed it up, and you can change a winning team. Something that separates a good manager from a bad manager is their willingness to change a winning team despite individuals playing poorly, he didn't do that, we didn't mix it up like Crewe did, and you could certainly argue that cost us. I can't believe CT4 hasn't been given a go, he's better than the next options.
I rate Moussa because he can make something happen, lately he's been playing in a 4-4-2 at CM, which I'm convinced he cannot play, it doesn't suit him, for example, v Sheff U, he looked a different player when we went 4-5-1, it's little things that can affect a player's performance, and formation can transform a player's performance. After Crewe on Wednesday, Fleck should've started, he played better than Bailey and Jennings and we scored 2 goals with him on the field, in this instance, Carsley was wrong not to reward a good performance, he rewards shit from his starters.
Wilson missed a header from about 2 yards out, of course he 'should've' scored, to me, he doesn't look like he's got the 'minerals' to be a good player for CCFC, although I'd like to be proven wrong.
