You did, you agreed with LJC who said Christie should start. Because a neutral doesn't care about any of our players so will judge what he/she sees, as I am supposedly a 'fanboy', and you clearly don't like Clarke (and have gone off Christie lately, but still prefer Christie) so they don't...

I literally can't dive left!

Yeah, I have, but I thought he hoofed it v Shrews because we were desperate, v Spurs just to clear it and v PNE, I thought it was to match their physicality. I didn't watch v Carlisle so I can't judge, v Tranmere however, I'll judge. It is a shame if we hoof it, we can stick to our usual ways...

Not condoning Clarke not jumping for the header, but that was a very well placed header from their lad! CBs got ripped straight through the middle. Just saying.

No one said that, but is turning into a little bit of a witch hunt. Not aimed at you (at LJC) You didn't utter a word of complaint during Christie's 4 game stinker.

Photoshopped.

I think it is unfair to judge after 2 games as a lone striker, especially as he scored in 1 of those games. I'm not counting spurs because we don't deserve to be on the same pitch as them and their class was clear throughout. Lets just wait and see.

That's only if his contract runs out, then we sign him, the agreement that might be in place means the parties have agreed a deal.

But Adams has been accountable for goals as well. Also, if Adams gets injured, what then? In this way, your argument relies on Adams staying fit, but what if he doesn't!? Thus your point is flawed. I've been CCFC games with neutrals (this season) who have said negative things about Adams, I...

We'll see if you're right this transfer and loan windows because MR knows if he needs a RB. I don't think we NEED a RB, I think what we need is a LB cover (unless one of the kids is capable), or even CB cover, the best thing to do at this time, is to sign a versatile CB who can play RB and/or...

Did McG resign? No. Did we try it v Shrewsbury? Yes. Did it work? No. What formation did we use in November and December!? 4-5-1/4-4-1-1 As you said, "Nuff said".

I never said it was more of a priority, I said it is more fundamental than RB as you state, our whole defence lets us down, and if we signed a CB I'd be happy, but it'd be good if we was versatile, for competition or to start, either way, I don't care.

I weren't comparing them, you said Clarke is too small and weak to be a defender, yet Alba and Lahm, as you mention are the best in the business and are both 5"7, going against what you said. I weren't saying we have 2 Lahms on the books, I just said, well Lahm is small, and supposedly weak, yet...

But that would mean changing the way we play, 4-4-2 is fundamentally different to 4-5-1 and would involve changing the way we play, I'd rather have an extra midfielder, we have a wealth of talent in midfield, than Elliott. For me, it's 1 upfront, if Clarke doesn't suit it, play Elliott or...

That's your opinion, I'm not going to change that. But I'll ask questions of you nonetheless, after all, this is the point of a forum, is it not? You say we don't have good RBs, fair enough, but I'll give you an example of a game where we conceded 2 goals, none were directly the RB's fault...

Well, it has got us results... 4-4-2 hasn't so why would anyone think that's the formation we should play?

That was a general statement to those who were pinning the blame on him v Carlisle. I think you said it yourself, in your evaluation of Wood and Edj, which to me, suggests that we'll concede goals (a similar amount) even if we get a new RB. We haven't kept a clean sheet since Hartlepool away...

Aggressive? How!? Aimed to...? People who think we should play 4-4fucking2 (thought I throw a bit of Mike Bassett in there!) Everyone has their usual style, and of course we adapt to given problems e.g. PNE.

I never disagreed with the notion :facepalm: Neither am I asking for an argument. I asked a question, you haven't answered it, because I personally think Adams is quite weak defensively, Edj can be at times, Wood has been good. I don't think anyone was moaning at RB being weak when we...

4-4-2, as we have seen, or for some, should have seen, is that when we play 4-4-2, we struggle to make quality chances and we end up bypassing the CMs and not favouring our usual style. Clarke will (hopefully) come good in the lone striker role, we just need Adams, Clarke/Christie and the RM +...
