So you can't say we NEED a playmaker if Fleck has been injured and could be the answer... With CMs of Jennings, Fleck, Thomas, Barton, it's just as good as you can get for a L1 side, few will be better! Especially when you take into account our budget as anyone better, we won't be able to...

Well, that wasn't his intention, but, THIS season, he didn't lose, Shaw has lost 3 with the same team, Thorn drawn 3, lost 0% to Shaw's 100% in the league... The manager has got to hit the ground running or Thorn could become another 'what if' manager.

I'd agree with a lot of that, but it's likely that all the managers want to play a hoofball 4-4-2, which would be disasterous, given that Thorn built a side to play the diamond and play possession football, maybe we haven't done the work off the field, (which might be why we haven't been...

Pacey wingers who need to have an end product, pace can only take you so far, no point having pace if you can't; cross, finish nor pass! Playmaker!? Who!? Fleck will be our playmaker (hopefully), and playmakers in a 4-4-2? Doesn't exist really, as 4-4-2 is made for wingers + wing play...

To play the diamond? the formation we haven't lost with in the league yet (v Crewe, we played 4-4-2 2nd half). What formation suits are players best? 4-4-2!? The same formation where we put in a poor showing v Stevenage (1st 20m was good, but we have had those when we played the diamond, for...

If that did happen, they should be possibilities, but as it is, diamond all the way, imo. 4-4-2 dpesn't work, natural width did fuck all for us and we still got caught on the counter, this time through the middle and still looked exposed out wide. :facepalm:

Well, we've done better with THIS season than 4-4-2 and 4-5-1, including 3-2 v Brum. Discuss.

They played 1 more game than us ;)

Portsmouth's owners still aren't great. Technically, I'd say Everton do, true that Kenwright loves the club and is an Evertonian through-and-through, but the guy's record profit for his business is 2.5m, clearly not enough to run a Championship (possibly a L1) club and it is only TV money...

The same club that was on it's knees before SISU took over? (EDIT) The same club when in the prem, the owners spent money WE DIDN'T HAVE which left us with crippling debt? The same club that was run by the crooks who sold Highfield Rd, and moved to the RICOH, which is at the heart of our...

The Portsmouth owners that got them fucked were/are 100x worse than SISU, and Rangers' Whyte owner who fucked them and Scottish football over. Sisu don't spend money on players because they have to prop us up on off the field issues, they aren't mega-rich so can only spend money on...

How did SISU brainwash us Thursday!? Get real, there're worst owners around!

Wahey, bit of Karl Marx thrown in there! But I don't think footballers can be classed as the exploited proletariat!

Thorn was against arguably stronger opposition.

Their Chairman said "he has no managerial ability" of Ferguson.

Why does McShef deserve a recall!? Hasn't put in a half decent performance yet!!! :facepalm: Doubt McGold came here to play on the wing, I THINK he used to moan about playing wing for Forest.

Murphy Clarke Malage Wood Hussey Jennings Barton Thomas Baker (Fleck to come on, or vice versa) McGoldrick Cody Bench: Dunn Christie Edj Kilbane Fleck/Baker McShef Elliott But Ball and Brown will be in and around there :facepalm:

They played the diamond, Pirlo infront of the back 4, De Rossi + Marchiso at RCM + LCM, two CMs who can put in a tackle to protect Abate + Balzeratti when defending with Montolievo (spelling) heading the diamond, every game bar their first game v Spain when they played 3-5-2 with De Rossi as...

Never trust a Tory!

Yes, true, he failed at 1 club, so did Fergie (not a comparison dw!) but he could succeed at CCFC. When we were interested in Rodgers, no 1 wanted him, including me, where is he know? We could be a break for the new manager.
