Does 3-4-3 + Saddlebrains intel look like this? It looks like a good compromise between the fantastically successful 5-3-2 and the wildly optimistic 4-3-3. Dovin Binks - Thomas - Kitching MVE - Allen - Grimes - Bidwell Rudi - Simms - EMC With Pato lined up as a sub for Rudi on 70 mins?

I am a down the line fan of back 5 particularly as long as our current defenders are such that we need more of them to compensate. It got us promoted from League 1 after it was in effect forced on a reluctant Robins. It did well for us in the run to the play offs and now on a run of 6 league...

No but you have to have a decent core; It is high risk to try to buy the bulk of a new team over a summer break. Notts Forest very much the exception. Burnley seem to have the right approach. I see no point in being pummeled every week or even being Crystal Palace, where success is 16th and...

Both good goals, not just tap ins

Looks like there of us have said roughly the same thing

Do you really want to shit your way up? I don't. Prem quality: Dovin, Haji, Rudoni, Borderline: Sheaf (if fit!), MVE, EMC, Grimes (?? no Prem team took him from Swansea when he was younger), The rest, including as you can see, almost all our defence is nowhere near good enough. Maybe...

me too

The problem against Ipswich and Leeds was not the tactical formation 5-3-2 or whatever, it was the strategic idea of taking a high defensive line. It almost cost us against QPR as well if it had not been for Dovin. They just cut through it. We could have had 20 defenders

repeat: we are away from home

The ability to retain possession and precision with the ball is of more use than being a striker - particularly away from home. And Tats can score

hmmm prefer Tats & Allen to BTA and Eccles myself

Because we do not have two top grade central defenders we need to field 3 to do the job properly. And because blow me what formation have we been playing for almost all of this run of form.....If it works etc etc

2-0 defeat incoming

Starting such a crucial away game with anything other than 3 at the back would be mental. Four clean sheets in six. You can't keep relying on Dovin to get us out of the shit. I think you guys decide your perfect midfield and attack and then realize you only have four players left and just...

Agree about Doyle. Unable to pass to a player wearing the same coloured shirt as him

I live very near Oxford but have nowhere near enough points, so if anyone with a lot of points, but can't make it and cares to be helpful, please let me know below

Dovin - what a keeper! Saka - brings control, doesn't give the ball away, at the bare minimum recycles. Almost back to his best. Grimes - a lovely footballer. Easy on the eye. But does not do the Allen bit of harrying and chasing. Who does that now? Da Silva - a good game (he types through...

Four at the back depends on the return of Bidwell. Which centre half do we leave out?

Looks like a small crowd. 3 games in a week and two stuffings

Looks like it's the team I wanted bar binks for Lati but I don't mind that. But if it's the team I like them we're doomed.... I just don't want a high line that's all
