Bayliss Andreu Doyle Allassani
Hiwula Biamou/JCH
Dont play Doyle & Ogogo together, Dont want Sterling, Brown, Baka or O'Brien near the starting XI after Oxford & Blackpool. Play Hiwula upfront, nowhere else.
And with Burge too if LOB keeps his place after last night.Issues will be confirmed if Sterling keeps his shirt.
I would go with

Big Sam? Is that you?Is it me ? I know I’m old school but regards all these systems, 3-5-2, 3-4-2-1, 5-2-2-1 bullshit, and it is bullshit. Why not revert back to the old 2 fullbacks, 3 halfbacks an 5 forwards. Play two out and out wingers backed up by two good tough fullbacks, a hairy arsed centre half backed by a tough guy number 6 and a more cultured number 4, as said 2 wingers one right footed, one left footed, giving us pace and width which would pin opposition back, a schemer at number 10, a big ugly centre-forward and a goal scoring number 8. Simple team, simple tactics and let the opposition worry about you.
Big Sam is available, ex Sky Blue aswell and yes his tactics are more traditional which has done him and his teams well over the years.Big Sam? Is that you?
Where do you stand if you've got a good centre half available but his arse isn't hairy?Is it me ?

For all his talent I don't think Bayliss suits being a part of a midfield two at this moment in time, I think that's why you'll sooner see him on the wing than in the middle with one other.
He won't be able to burst forward as much as we've come to see whilst in a 442 simply because in the chance he loses the ball high up the pitch we'll be left terribly exposed. Maybe Robin's can see a little tactical naivety there in him so gives him that role in the more advanced areas where he can express himself more and make mistakes with possession.
If it were me I'd be brave and drop Bayliss for this weekend game coming up. He didn't impress me last night in an area of the pitch we had little to no link between defensive midfield and attack.

If we don't get a win from this, I think we'll be in serious trouble for the rest of the season. Early days to state this, I know, but it's a probability. Desperately need a good - no, GREAT - result if only for the morale of the team and to boost the fan's trust.
Oh, so it's only August? Let's just play shite for a while longer and then hope to fuck something really good happens to the team by Christmas eh?It's August! I think we need to calm down a bit guys.

Discuss the Coventry City at Gillingham match, tactics and predictions
"Pretty much" or "exactly". Which one? Can't be both.Yeah, pretty much exactly what I was saying
I know we don't like our little friends up there in the north east so much, but could we do with Sunderland hammering Gillingham tonight and the Gills having 3 or 4 players sent off and another 8 injured?
It's August! I think we need to calm down a bit guys.
Noooooo! It's seriously not, mate. How can it be a relegation 6 pointer this early into the season?Nah not really mate not after the three away games, Wimbledon, Oxford and Blackpool the SBA faithfull just witnessed!
Really feel sorry for the thousands that have turned up and travelled hundreds of miles to watch and back the team.
I can see some positivity, which I’m clutching to that 5/10 min spell when Andreu and Hiwula linked up well before they scored 2nd goal. And cut out goalkeeping howlers. Clutching at straws as we have currently don’t just have one issue!
Really hoping we get a point here at least and score finally from open play.

Lose this, and the next away game at Oxford away is already a relegation 6 pointer.
