    Imagine that would impact ticket sales then as I think Stoke was a category B which also had some extra attention from the media for some reason.

    Yeah I thought that and 100% appreciate I could of got this wrong but looked at Rudoni’s average position and he is 100% playing left wing more than central 10. Think someone explained it but Bidwell is playing more of a left back as he forms a back four out of possession with Milan tracing...

    Based on I have no idea who else I’d want to play there. I’m not the manager mind 🤣

    Only going back to the Oxford and Preston shape and positions outside of Paterson but it’s more of a left winger position anyway

    5 at the back?

    The only real difference I’ve noticed is that when it is the 3-4-2-1 or 5-3-2, The defence normally has four people back most of the time with Bidwell going more to the left but staying further back and Grimes filling in the gap made. With the 4-3-3, Grimes forms the back three with one of the...

    I know I’ve already put in on here but there’s more than one way to skin a cat in Regard to a back three. Looking at: QPR, Preston and Oxford. It looks like we played a back three in all which then converted to a back four in defence. Looking at it we’ve only played a proper 4-3-3 the last...

    I think to be honest if he was as unarsed as he’s made out to be I highly doubt he’d still have the armband in the official capacity. Listen early doors were shite for everyone, this injury problem could entirely be our fault for continuing to play him when he played on injections and not ready...

    Going to sound defeatist but it’s great we are in this position in the first place after the first half of the season

    Feck it, back to the 3-4-2-1 of Preston and Oxford. Will it work without Rudoni and Paterson filling in. Probably not but it was fun at least. Dovin Thomas - Kitching - Bidwell Milan - Eccles - Grimes - Paterson Sakamoto - Mason-Clark...

    To be fair it’s not like all wins have been playing the same formation. We’ve played at least three in this period. No harm in going back and being adaptable.

    Yeah I meant 3-4-2-1. Can’t be arsed to edit tho 🤣

    It’s hard due to the role he was playing as looking at he was the left wingback in name but played more as a left sided midfielder who cut in. If he was fit I would of tried Paterson there as defensively you have Bidwell who acts as the left back with Milan coming back to form a 4-4-2 Might...

    Think Rudoni being out is a blocker for the 3-4-2-1 personally. Not sure who could play his role in the squad.

    You know it’s funny, saw a Fifa recreation having us as a 5-4-2-1, dug deeper and can see this formation used at least on football websites for Preston and Oxford and found the attached video commenting on our 3-4-2-1 shape. Noted as being this when attacking Dovin Thomas-Kitching-Bidwell Milan...

    Will say Rudoni was a huge loss today, with his chance creation numbers. Not one big chance tonight against a bottom three side. Hopefully he’s back after Sunderland

    Still in the play offs with it in our hands. Utter shite today but one bad result won’t decide our season, hopefully this can get a reaction for Sunderland
