4-2-3-1 could work really well for us if we changed the way we played it. We need to be much faster with the ball, less reliance on wingers to float crosses in and try more balls in behind for the strikers or the wingers to run onto. As it stands we don't have a striker that knows where to be...

I feel like that'd be very susceptible to counter attacks. Simms and Wright obviously wont track back, if Grimes is further forward and the wing backs have pushed up, that leaves Sheaf in front of the back 3.. none of which possess any pace. Would probably be cracking to watch going forward...

Hoping we'll see Basette, Andrews, Perry and maybe Obikwu feature. If Sheaf is out for a while we might need Andrews because all we have at the minute is Allen. Bassette and Obikwu would be nice options if they're looking ready because lets face it Simms and BTA aren't looking good in this system.

I've said it before, but our biggest issue is the pace we play at. We play so slowly and telegraph every pass and move which makes everything way too predictable. Against Betis there was a short period where we upped the tempo and started playing some quick passes and moving the ball around...

I genuinely think it's more the way we play than the strikers being shit. Yes, BTA and Simms aren't exactly up to the level but the way we play makes them look worse than they are. We don't play balls for them to run onto, we don't play anything in behind or over the top, we fuck it out wide...

God almighty we are so shit up front

We’re so predictable going forward

Bobby Madley is a fucking plank

As I've said before, Brau seems to have been arranged for a while now and was probably going to be our first choice LB, but Dasilva picked up massively towards the end of last season and has been quality so far in preseason so I think it's a case of Frank playing Brau further up because Dasilva...

which one

I'd like to see a striker and a centre back come through the doors, but as it stands I think we'll be alright. We probably won't do any better than last year, but I can't see us doing massively worse. The biggest things that are plaguing us at the minute is how slow our play is, and the cock...

why did you say it

Oh but Rapha is shit and wont get a game though remember

Rushworth really does love his little tricks doesn't he

Oh no don't get me wrong, it was absolute wank but it's not like Dovin didn't drop a few clangers and look how instrumental he was last season.

Fuck me will you lot relax :ROFLMAO: We've seen a game and a half from the man and last week he was the best keeper on the planet, now he's the second coming of Collins..

He immediately made an impact and improved things hugely when he came on against Betis. Looked head and shoulders above Sheaf.

The way we play doesn't suit Simms or BTA. Wright and Basette it suits a little more but still not ideal for them really, which is why Wright looked more effective out left. We haven't had a striker that fits our style of play since Vik, and even then he just picked the ball up at the halfway...

It sounds like it's an attitude issue with him. Not in terms of acting up or anything but in terms of commitment and effort. From what Frank has been saying he's not putting enough effort in and just coasting through training.

Frank did say in his interview after the game yesterday that Kai has shown he's ready to compete for minutes, so it sounds like he'll be sticking around. Hoping it's the case because he's looked pretty impressive so far this preseason and I have to say he didn't look out of place when he came...
