Maybe they are giving the tactics out to each player as a pamphlet

CoH shouldn’t be much of an issue. We were told by the experts he wasn’t good enough for us.

He has been poor for them so far this season
Cue him scoring a brace today

That reads like something written by a crisis PR person who had zero knowledge of the football club before being asked to write the article.

He refused to be injured I heard, although I may have coalesced two separate rumours

Team a bit of a surprise with bassette on his own up front. Big game for him today. Hopefully the four in midfield will get up and support and be able to slide balls through.
Big options on bench both in terms of personnel and shape

Got a mate who’s a ST holder there and most of their fans think he’s very good.

This is really the first post Robins match as we look like we might be playing a bit narrower. Box midfield is back.

What’s that extra “A” for?

As long as Torp and Rudoni don't try and play in the same areas I can see it working

The same old posters hate it when the team changes but demand changes, hate changes to formation but demand changes to formation. Hate trying something different but demand change. They wanted Robins out and they're not happy about that either.

541 is such a stodgy formation if you don’t dominate the ball.

Seems a bit negative in attack. But let’s see. Key will be playing Bassette into the channels he runs.

Will really depend on how Bassette does. Hopefully not isolated up front while we play 9ATB. Needs players to be brave and push up and support him. He’s not Vik and won’t be able to win the battle on his own or hold up for support much.

Can’t see how this lineup is gonna work, would have preferred Simms as a lone striker. But let’s see. Super Frank incoming anyway.

I'd be very suprised if we keep a clean sheet with that defence.
Even at my age and level of fitness, I think I'd fancy my chances of scoring against Binks and Dasilva.

Going to need very good passing into him otherwise it’s going to be pass sideways and backwards.

Flood the defence and midfield and try to sneak a goal? Let's see how it goes.

If it can get the best out of Torp and Rudoni it could work well, but we need to get them on the ball in dangerous areas and not have them sucked back into a flat four defending all game.

We will know in the first 15mins if this is going to work.

Yeah I fear we’re asking an awful lot of Bassette today. He will need to make a nuisance of himself to open up space for Rudoni and Torp, otherwise we will be quite easy for Sheff Utd to deal with.
