Always believed you pick your system around your best players.
Feeling optimistic (ish). Our style of play IS effective until the final chance, but at some point that will come good - it did last season. Plus, we have to be realistic, for all his strengths MR is a creature of routine and will not change his formation unless forced.
I’d bring Kelly back as an experienced head in the middle and unfortunately that would be for one of Westbrooke or Shipley, probably the latter as he had a quieter game against MK. I’d push Walsh slightly forward, as he’s good on the ball and I’d like to see him with it in a more advanced position.
O’Hare is wasted out wide, but if we get the system working as it should and get quicker ball forward he is very capable of being effective in an outside forward role. I know people are bemoaning the loss of Jobellos width, but the outside strikers aren’t supposed to be wingers. If him and Hiwula make lots of runs through the inside channels and off the back of defenders, I’d back all three midfielders to pick them out.
Im not a boo boy like the majority, but unfortunately Baka is a weak link. He has attributes but can’t seem to make them work and as such we carry him, especially in this system.
I hope we have some attacking threats on the bench other than Biamou and Kasteener. I’d prefer to see some of the on form and rated U23’s given a chance. I still believe there’s a player somewhere in Kast, but on current form he’s useless and doesn’t work in a footballing team.
Let’s hope we do something tonight as for all the positives of a young team, confidence will be more fragile.
Also, I expect Ched Evans to have a good game, for all the moral issues, he’s a good striker.
2-1 City.
Unchanged team
No goals again and Kelly and Walsh should be In the middle .
Kelly had to come back in for Westbrooke, we’re simply not the same team without him. Very strange decision to not change it in some way, again I’m not confident based off that line up.
Dabo?We need someone to step up tonight, With the chances we keep creating we need to start finishing them. I don't care if its a defender but someone needs to put the ball in the net.
Dabo?
Can only be that's he's not up to playing 90 minutes.Can't see why Kelly is still on the bench unless he's injured
Awful team selection that.
What has Mason done wrong?
MR not showing his hand too early by the look of it!No goals again and Kelly and Walsh should be In the middle .
Spoiler AlertThanks for that. I'd recorded that game and didn't know the result!
the opposition net i think he meant:joyful:Dabo?
So play him for 60 and then adapt to the in game situation at the time! He was ready for 90 against FGR 2 weeks ago! Infuriating decision. It's not just his turnover of the ball we miss too but his ability to accurately switch play with his diagonal passing.Can only be that's he's not up to playing 90 minutes.

We can make a pair of them then! Hope I get this thrown back in my face later but Fleetwood, in a night game, against a Joey Barton team who will be big, tough and experienced.... They will game-manage our kids off the park if we're not careful. Last year we played Fleetwood midweek in the middle of a sticky patch of form and got tonked 3-0.Quite happy to look like a tit after the game but same team is shambolic. If he don't pick Kelly soon we're gonna fall out
