Is it just me that’s never called us Cov? Only ever heard other teams fans call us that, Latubeaudiere’s Cov Cov Cov makes me feel the same way.

No I think we need a CB and CM

Some woman thought he died in prison and so named it after that.

The point Is his critics all are adamant he’s doing a terrible job and those who you see as super pro Starmer mostly say he’s doing OK/too early to tell.

Closest would be BTAs role I think but it’s not right at all for him.

I just reply to you and FP ranting about him as if he’s Hitler Mk2. I’d probably be in the black segment right now but also realise where he started from but you’d count me as anti Starmer by that.

I think it is. Hamer was more a deep lying playmaker, but he was so good he could play anywhere. We miss his willingness to receive the ball and drive through it pick a pass and neither Torp nor Rudoni can do that right now. TBH it’s why I feel long term we need another midfielder in there who...

Or why 433 is a better formation for our players than 4231. I still think in aggregate the midfield and defence isn’t good enough for where we want to be And that’s why we have to play five at the back.

Free AirPods though!

Torp isn’t a DM. We keep trying to recreate the Hamer and Sheaf double pivot without Hamer and it’s just not going to happen.

Robins played 4231 with Rudoni as a 10 and I don’t think that’s his best position. He’s not good enough on the ball nor is his movement good enough to play in the middle like O’Hare did. He’s better moving wide like under Lampard and getting crosses in.

I don’t think we’ve ever played that XI. Usually it was Eccles for Torp and Rudoni behind the front three in a 4231 and Simms up front with Wright or EMC on the left.

From the horses mouth:

I think that’s fair. It’s my problem with all our midfielders is their tendency to stand about watching play and not move into space. Allen gives us that. I’d just rather shout at Rudoni and Torp to fucking move into space than play him just for that.

I don’t agree. Sheafs defensive stats are miles ahead. Allen works right now because we’re playing three at the back so he had no defensive duties and we’re playing it long so his progressive passing isn’t as important. Sheaf would add quality to the midfield in either formation.

For me we’ve got to learn to play with a back four. If in three weeks we’re still in touching distance of the playoffs I’d be tempted to just stick Sheaf and Haji in for Allen and Simms and call it a day. If not i think id probably go: Dovin MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell Torp Sheaf Rudoni Saka...

Same. Just not sure where I’d put him right now. LWB?

Lampard has dropped wingers purely to stop us singing about players on the wing.

I dont remember that tbh. I thought I’ve made it clear I don’t particularly rate Bassette, though I thought he was good closing down in his cameo yesterday. But the basic point is it’s 2-1 and the right move was to not give away possession.
