Not saying Lampard is a good manager by any means, but he'd be better than Slade was. It'd be a genuine achievement to be worse.

I know this is probably a joke, but I hope people haven't forgotten just how unbelievably shit that man is as a manager. Never before have I seen a man try and play 4-4-2 with 5 defenders and 4 strikers on the pitch.. WITH NO INJURIES. He didn't have to do it, he just did it. Lampard would...

Yeah I've genuinely never understood this. Take for example when we've played Lati as a DM. Why is he ending up outside of the opposition box alongside Eccles? For someone like Lati who isn't the greatest on the ball, would it not make more sense to have him as a half back or something? Have...

Would like us to try something a bit different. Torp Sheaf Rudoni I think Torp is much better suited to being further up the pitch and has that killer final ball we seem to be lacking constantly.

He didn't have to pass to Basette, play it inside to Tatsu who can then play it out to Basette. Been a big fan of Simms but fuck me does he have some absolute rotters.

Stick with 3-4-1-2, play Lati in a back 3. I’ve never been his biggest fan since he signed but it’s obvious he was signed as a CB for a back 3 and he looked solid against Preston. From the interview it seems like he’s got his head screwed on and that’s what we need. Keep 2 up front, maybe...

It’s fucking shit but in all honesty I never expected a result here. We never beat these pricks. I was however hoping for a slightly better performance, but next game is the real test.

The final ball has been wank every time

fucking hate Preston

Might be seeing Tatsu as wing back second half.. MVE not got going

Shittest team on the planet are Preston.

I was saying I wanted to see us try 3-4-1-2 again now we’ve got some different players, and it looks like he’s done it. Will be interesting.

Our 4-2-3-1 is more often than not a 4-3-3 in various points over a game. Not entirely sure what triggers it tbf, because it's not a straight in and out of possession thing, at least not the last few games anyway.

Can see a similar lineup to last game to be honest. As I've said before, I'd personally like us to give a 3-4-1-2 a go but I doubt it'll happen. Can see a 4-2-3-1: Dovin Lati Thomas Kitching Bidwell Eccles Sheaf Rudoni BTA/Simms EMC MVE Ordinarily I'd say Lati wouldn't play or at least...

God almighty the international break can't end soon enough. We're shitting the bed over a bloke sharing a rumour he heard. Some of you lot take this way too seriously

Watch us still lose 3-0 since it's fucking Preston

This is what I would go with. I think 3-4-1-2 could work well for us with the energy we have in Asante, Basette and Rudoni. I always felt that without Vik, and Wright and Simms up front we had absolutely zero energy in that 3-4-1-2 we used to play. And now I think with Torp and how much...

Rudoni isn't exactly a 10 himself really. Plays somewhere in between an 8 and a 10. Not saying Torp is an out and out 10 but his strengths are much more suited to being higher up the pitch in front of the holding mids. He wouldn't be one that drops deep to grab the ball like Rudoni, but...

I don't understand this argument. Torp isn't remotely similar to Sheaf in any aspect. We've been playing him deep in a Sheaf role out of necessity, that's not where his strengths are at all. Play him further up where Rudoni plays and we'll see the best of him. He's got a lovely eye for a pass...

If we’re going 2 up front like some are suggesting, it has to be a back 3 in my opinion. I just can’t see the players we have fitting into any formation with 2 up front and a back 4. 3-4-1-2 lets us play Kitching, Thomas, Binks / Lati, Dasilva and MVE as wing backs with Bidders and Tatsu as...
