Pressley said we needed some width and pace so he brings that sort of player in then changes the system completely. I just don't see the logic

Agreed.I'll probably get slated for this but I think if Pressley persists with the 3-5-2 the fans could start calling for his head very quickly. It can work occasionally and against the better teams away from home it may prove a decent option. Generally speaking its awful to watch and against the lesser teams that fans think we should be beating we pose no threat. Once we concede the game is effectively lost.
Reminds me very much of when Coleman was in charge. The midfield is turgid, devoid of any pace or flair and has no goals in it. It seems we are attempting to win every game 1-0.

Here we go - first the Pressley signings thread and now this.

Great post i was about to say very much the same Iv'e been to all the home games and basically its been boring even after 20 mins of the Gillingham game it went flat . I'm certain it won't bring the crowds flooding back and we all know it doesn't take long for City fans to show there disproval

Its funny how my loyalty is questioned yet I predicted all along as soon as we were back at the Ricoh the Pressley out campaign would begin .
It's started by subliminal messaging. Its ill conceived.
I prey for a win Saturday.
Stop being a drama queen. No one's said Presley out (well except you) and a few crack pots were saying it last season when we were at Suxfields so if anyone does say Presley out it's nothing new and it's nothing to do with being back at the Ricoh.
Genuine question and completely back on topic. Do you think the formation is working?
We don't have the personnel to play a flat back four and two midfield holding players. We would be over-run and we don't have the luxury if goals for fun anymore.

Great post like the others have mentioned. The other problem in this system is you have to let the opposition have a certain amount of possession and the better teams will do more. If we don't score first we lose as the case both times the opposition have scored first we have lost the game. Funny that.
We have to score first and then hold one. How many 1-0 results this season? All well and good when it works but what when it doesn't?
We went down 1 nil after half hour yesterday and had an hour to get that goal back bar 1 chance that was never going to happen. Plan B or even use the 3-5-2 as plan B.
I don't think 2 defeats mean it isn't.

No more than any other formation, and if anything the 532/352 formation is all about making the pitch as big as possible to aid possession football. I

Nothing wrong with the 352 if played well, lots of teams in the lower divisions are having success with it. Just does my head in when we play it in a defensive way with no width from the wing backs and a midfield who can't score goals. It's fine margins in football, we lost two matches because of a red card and because of a penalty, with a bit more luck we could have got 4 points from the last 2 away games and we'd be talking about how amazing Pressley is.
2 home games now to put things right, a couple of good results at the Ricoh could propel us back up to 4/5th position and everything will be looking rosy again.

You cannot compare any tatic employed by AT with SP, the reason is that SP has shown he can manage a football team and AT was a great scout of players
True. I wish we had Kevin Malaga, Stephen Elliot, Cody McDonald, David Bell, William edjuingele, Reece Brown and Adam Barton still here. Oh Barton still is - unfortunately.
