Why is Nouble getting cheered?

Is it now 4-2-3-1? Or 4-4-2 with a diamond? Not sure Turnbull deserved to be hauled off ahead of Clarke. Or Rawson. All are bad, but he's here next season.

Why hasn't anyone nailed Ranger yet? He's exactly the sort of player who would either react or shy away after one big hit. No leaders and no confidence. The two aren't exclusive.

Not sure that's the point I was making. Anyway, isn't that what Clarke is supposed to be so good at.

I would hate to play in this team; whenever anyone has the ball there are a grand total of zero options. At least Burge can kick the ball really really high in the air though.

That goal is fucking embarrassing. We had time to plan, and to close down, and for Burge to move. Pathetic.

How can they find three (four if you count Fortune) big physical centre forwards, yet we couldn't find one?

Nibble nibble. Waiting for that weren't you.

Another big physical team. We have no answer, especially when the pitch is impossible to play football on.

It has been, but Haynes and DKE are more naturally suited to playing wing back then Willis, Page or even Stokes. Didn't Haynes come to fruition with Pressley playing wing back? Your issue is you dislike Haynes and DKE, regardless. Slades downfall was a lot more than trying to adapt TM's...

Yep, sounds like 3-5-2. To be pair that's our strongest midfield, and Haynes/DKE are attacking defenders so on paper it works. However, not convinced on Tudgay/Beavon as a two but I assume the theory is Beavon as the runner and Tudgay as the hold up man. Also, no more Burge please!!

Complete transformation from previous performances. The team seem more confident and are actually trying to play football. They are succeeding to an extent too. K Thomas is the weak link at the minute, but in all fairness I'm pretty sure he isn't a left winger. Encouraging signs, just a shame...

Turnbull is playing well - their number 9 is trying his best to bully him but he's coping well.

I hate to say it; but Stokes is being exposed.

The players are actually trying to pass to one another and find feet. What is happening?!

Fantastic news that Stokes is back. Coincidental he's suddenly fit when we get a new manager? Disappointed Bigi isn't playing.

Looking forward to seeing the team Robins selects; it will potentially give us some insight into his thoughts for next season. I think we will see more "footballers" in the team today i.e. Bigi, Stevenson, potentially Ruben, and hopefully a complete break away from Slades tactics. Unless we...

Proves what a prat Slade was, and is evidence of what I mentioned on the other thread re Slade and his man management style. I think most posters, via the obvious few, appreciate Bigi is a talented footballer and has a genuie affiliation for the club which makes him want to give 100% every...

As inconsistent as Lameries is, of the four chosen he's still miles ahead of Jones and Reid for me. At least he has ability.

Stokes Stevenson Bigi Beavon It was a struggle to think of four, which is depressing.
