Yesterday when they got the corner they scored from, I had a hunch they'd score, I went to the toilet, half way up the stairs, turned round, they score as I turned round, I just thought FFS. Something needs to be done about it, I'm not convinced with Edj anymore, poor in the air, and is a...

I'm not an ideological 'Siamese-twin' with Grendel on the pitch, similar off it, but he thinks we should play 4-4-2, and that players need to to 6"7 18stone, built like brick shit houses, strong as steel, fast as Usain Bolt and can run a marathon in a game... Then we see how play football...

So you don't go, how's that supporting your team? If you're going on Tuesday, why this game ahead of the 20 games? I know, a trip to Wembley.

On the urinals point... They weren't really breakable by the looks of it... I didn't try to break any! Also, there probably weren't any 13 yr old 'badmen' to come and beat the toilets up. They don't go t these games!

Whoops, big mistake. Losses @ home playing 4-4-2: Scunthorpe, Stevenage, Notts County, Scunthorpe (after this match, we changed back to 4-4-1-1) and Shrewsbury (we conceded after going to 4-4-2 and playing wank after that). Losses @ home not playing 4-4-2: Carlisle but most people will put...

I wonder how many people actually arguing actually went? Dong didn't for starters. CCFC? MMM? We definitely hoofed it more and created less chances than usual, even in the 1st half. It's down to my 'football ideology', 4-4-2 is out of date, and we should modernise, which we do when we play...

No, that is preference, I prefer Clarke over the other strikers... :facepalm: Glad I got your stupid definition of 'anti'

I don't have football manager anymore. We've won most our games playing 4-4-1-1. Move with the times!

I've done this on another thread ages ago. Specify what you mean exactly, do you mean either: games where we've started with 4-4-2 and finished 4-4-2 OR games where we've started 4-4-1-1 then moved to 4-4-2?

You are overestimating my deviousness. For me, it's a straight choice between 2 players, Clarke or Elliott, for me, Clarke wins, well, Clarke wins v any other L1 striker bar Donaldson, so who do choose. On the same token, am I anti-Ball because I (don't rate him) think he shouldn't start...

Not that many 3-4 @most, teams with games in hand can't get maximum points because they're playing each other, so, at least, say, half the teams will drop points somewhere. People say that we're in a false position, which we are to an extent, but all the other teams are in an equally...

I never said he should be dropped because he didn't score, I'm saying when Bailey comes back, he's obviously going to start, and we'll probably play 4-4-1-1 so, if we play 1 upfront, who do you play!? Elliott, no goal last game, or, Clarke, 3 goals in last 2? Btw, you may have conveniently...

Question: Assuming we play 1 upfront, which I think we will v Crewe and Yeovil, who would YOU choose to play upfront, Leon Clarke or Stephen Elliott? I'd choose Clarke, on the basis he is the leagues' top goalscorer, and has scored more goals than Elliott already, despite only joining on Jan...

What stats end my point? Last time I checked, the only home game we've lost NOT playing 4-4-2 was MR's 1st game as manager. As we know, we were very hit and miss at home.

I missed this one :p I still don't feel we created enough chances in the 1st half, ones that were clear-cut anyway, I think anyone who went could vouch for that. I took that into consideration, but we played better with the passing etc. Of course, but, the large majority of games +...

The first 'bout' of 4-4-2 was broke, whilst, at the time, we won all of our games using 4-4-2, we lost too many to shit teams e.g. Scunny hence why we moved to 4-4-1-1. As I have said, we have lost most of our games whilst using 4-4-2, this alone should close the argument. We don't play 2...

No one said anything about him being shit. I have to admit, I'm wrong on Elliott, he's been playing well, I'll hold my hands up, but, you have to select your best team, and I don't think he's in that XI. He's going against someone who has also scored 3 in 180, also the top goal scorer in the...

We drew to PNE, with 1 upfront, but, I recall, us beating Donny 4-1 away (1 upfront) and guess what formation we've lost with the most... Any guesses? Yep, 4-4-2! Don't hand pick games like that with me. If Bailey is 100% I'd stick eight he usual midfield, the same 5 that got us to the...

He scores when he wants. He was frustrating to watch, he literally played shit today, but got 2 goals today and completed his main objective as a striker, so fair play.

No, I disagree, we were good in possession at times, we did hoof it a lot, however, we didn't create the quality chances you'd expect, imo. I also think their tactics helped massively to us being able to take control, they were poor, they are poor. 2nd half we completely abandoned our...
