Absolutely, if we sit back against Mansfield they will rip us apart
4-3-3 please
In his first spell he used to play 4-5-1 a lot didn't he? Or at least a variation on it.Robins unfortunately has forgotten how to play attacking football he will set the team up with four across the back and two defensive midfielders which will be Kelly and Doyle if fit.
He played some great football first time round if my memory is correct we had David Mcgoaldrought as he was first called by our fans but he banged the goals in.In his first spell he used to play 4-5-1 a lot didn't he? Or at least a variation on it.
Don't remember him playing 4-4-2 too often.
And dragging oppo players all over the pitch.He played some great football first time round if my memory is correct we had David Mcgoaldrought as he was first called by our fans but he banged the goals in.
I'm sure they did but my memory is not great.I'm sure MR left not long after Mcdgolrick went back as we couldn't afford to keep him.And dragging oppo players all over the pitch.
Did Moussa and Baker show much form back then?
There are still tickets left? Amazed tbh can only imagine people must think it’s sold out..
I'm only going to tick it off the list and imagine thats why we've sold 1400+ as others doing the same.Or people have given up.

Yes, he got Baker (who had previously been rubbish) playing some good stuff. He signed Moussa and got him fit and firing too. He played 4-5-1
The comments about two sitting midfielders are off the mark, that may work a bit better for us going away to one of the better sides in the division (it worked at Luton and Lincoln).
The thing with Lincoln and Luton is that we had Jones who would do the job of carrying the ball forward and putting the ball in.
If we have both Doyle and Kelly sitting now, we have nothing to link the midfield with strikers.
Sounds bad but basically the same reason I'm going. Don't see us getting anything out the game although I would love more than anything to be wrong... Having said that I'm going to Wycombe as well so not sure what I'm doing :facepalm:I'm only going to tick it off the list and imagine thats why we've sold 1400+ as others doing the same.
Look at Wycombe next week only 300 sold and its not far, we took more than that to the checkatrade game their last season. If things don't pick up quickly attendances will drop especially at grounds we've visited before.
Exactly. We only had Jones then as our main creative spark (with a little bit of Nazon) and now we have Bayliss to deliver the creativity with his forward runs with the ball, something neither Kelly or Doyle do.The thing with Lincoln and Luton is that we had Jones who would do the job of carrying the ball forward and putting the ball in.
If we have both Doyle and Kelly sitting now, we have nothing to link the midfield with strikers.
Or we might have nothing to actually win the ball back from the opposition.
I would agree, put Bayliss n the centre with Doyle and if we need to protect a lead in the last 20 switch with Kelly to close the game up.
Besides McNulty, I would say Bayliss is our best player and the one player with any creativity in the middle of the park.
For me he has to be one of the first names on the team sheet. Otherwise without him that strikes of negativity.
Yep. Exactly the way I think we should play it.I would agree, put Bayliss n the centre with Doyle and if we need to protect a lead in the last 20 switch with Kelly to close the game up.
I'm sure they did but my memory is not great.I'm sure MR left not long after Mcdgolrick went back as we couldn't afford to keep him.
We replaced McGoldrick with Leon Clarke. Give Robins his due he knows a decent strikerForest returned him as they found Ipswich were prepared pay £10,000 a week. We didn’t miss him anyway
Yes Maxime Biamou!We replaced McGoldrick with Leon Clarke. Give Robins his due he knows a decent striker
Or Mark McNulty you dripYes Maxime Biamou!

Which is why we need Reid playing on Sat, to create that link and get those crosses in to our target men...I think we'd be playing 451 now if Andreu hadn't been injured. There's no other proper attacking midfielder in the squad, and that is a damn shame. We can all see the issue - midfielders too deep, and the two strikers often too far away from each other.
We’ve got to go and try to win. We have to approach every game in that way. We have a duty to ourselves, the support and the club
If Robins starts Barrett yet again it's safe to say he's truly lost the plot. Previous posts have gone for a 4-3-3. I'd probably agree with this. Would like to see Reid, JCH and McNulty up top as it gives us a potent attacking threat, although whether it will be enough to be a thorn in Mansfield's side remains to be seen...
Got to watch the fat bastard Evans as he will get his players to wind up JCH so as to get him to react and get sent off
