I disagree. We concede far too many goals by being exposed in wide areas on the counter and as soon as a team starts to play direct into the corners we lose our width going forward as the fullbacks get pinned. Once this happens, and it often has, our fullbacks stop going forward and our width is...

I think you'll find you guys are talking about academia as opposed to intelligence, a common assumption. Top Premiership players have very intelligent football brains, hence why they play at the highest level! Also, I am wholeheartedly aware of the many different tactics and formations and I...

My whole statement that this league "isn't complicated" is based on the fact (supported by many teams that have been promoted) that if you play a simple 4-4-2 with a decent motivator at the helm (who can make basic simple changes when needed) and a quality squad, promotion should be realistic...

What formation have the majority of teams used that have finished top 6 in this league in the last ten years? Yes, teams can play the diamond etc, but is it ever effective? Our diamond was badly exposed by teams who attacked us down the flanks, a simple thing but undid us time and time again!

It's not disrespectful, it just a fact... Players at this level aren't intelligent enough to play these complicated systems, and having two banks of four leaves a team a lot less exposed in defence. A managers ideas can only match up to his players abilities and if you do the basics well in...

To be honest, I don't see it as disrespectful. With quality intelligent players, 4-4-2 becomes about a billion other tweaked formations with shouts from the touchline! Wingers push on = 4-2-4 Striker sit in = 4-5-1 etc I saw about 10-12 games in the season Saints got promoted and nothing...

ps - if we loan in a winger and striker we could win the league!

This league is not very complicated and anyone that plays any thing besides 4-4-2 at this level is a bit of a pretentious twat IMO. We should get in a respected manager that can motivate/discipline the squad and we'll do well. With the quality in our squad our tactical changes shouldn't be...

Yep, that's clearly a fan page, not a personal page. Sooo, some gimp has heard something? #major

Yep, plus McSheffrey has said (on a well known social networking site): What's this i've just heard?! #major ps - great summary!

Based on ability and nothing else, Bell would be one of our best players....

I put it to you that the new managers name is Alan! That's clearly where the confusion is ;-)

We need a good manager, someone more experinced and less one dimensional.

I mean, he's been allowed to bring loads of new players in and yet still the same problems as last year! 3 games in, winning in all of them, yet still throw it away. Something seriously going wrong that we are so dominant in this game, yet fuck it up AGAIN Woeful, I think 3 more games...

No way will we score a winner, the mentality and morale at our club is so rotten under SISU and Thorn. Going to be another long and painful season....

Have the hog roast instead, actually pretty decent for stadium food!

He's peaked....

Wonder if it'll be another Man Utd kid? Thorn seems to have struck up a good relationship in looking after Norwood. We got Brown in, so a striker wouldn't be out of the question.

My view of our strongest XI: --------------------Murphy---------------------- Clarke-----Malaga--------Wood-------Hussey ------------------Jennings---------------------- --------Barton----------Kilbane/Thomas------ ---------------------Fleck------------------------...
