...despite this, it will still show MR what he needs to do formation wise

Perfect. Great comeback against a team in a higher league made possible by switching up the formation. Only lose to a free kick right at the end. Sooner we're knocked out of this the better.

Much better in the second half,
2 up front.
Must keep to 442 !

Knowing this Checkatrade comp and it's rules Shrewsbury probably have -2 goals for scoring in injury time!

We win!!!

Let's not forget they only had 10 men and lost it because of the first half performance.

Agree - only Wembley trip should be play offs (but still want automatic!)

Load of shite, chasing the near impossible then let it slip again. Too sloppy at the back has cost us again

Well, I'd probably still play 4-2-3-1, for now, but it's good to know we now have a 'Plan B' when we fall behind now.

SW88 what's your opinions on Vincenti now? You liked him in pre-season, from the 4 games I have seen on him he doesn't seem to add anything? Wins his headers of course and works hard, but doesn't seem to add much else imo?
Click to expand...

I want to like him but not sure he suits the way we want to play.

We're much better getting it down on the deck, but like you say he only seems to offer us an aerial threat, if that some times

I'd be interested to know where he played for Rochdale and how they fit him in, as he did seem highly rated there, didn't he ?

We haven't had a settled back 4 this season apart from the first 2 games. With so many new players, this doesn't help, but injuries are part and parcel of the game I guess. Still, give it a little more time and I think all will be good. Far too early to be gloom and doom, far too early to be castigating the manager, and far too early to be writing some of the players off.

I still think Vincenti is being played out of position, he is not the most mobile so not much point playing him out wide

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but the problem is, is if we were to go 4-4-2 we don't have any natural wide players other than Jodi?
Yeah would be interesting to see what they say because I can't see him fitting in here.
He's just too slow for me.

Football is a funny old game. It's taken a couple of enforced changes to drive a change in formation but if Robins learns from that and sticks with a 442 for Saturday it's positive. Hopefully also showed some of our fans that the academy graduates are good enough too, when needed.
