Not sure he did TBH. We just controlled the game a lot higher up the pitch.
He had a lot more pace then.
We don’t play a diamond formation. We play 3-4-1-2 effectively. The diamond is 4-1-2-1-2.At the risk of sounding derogatory to the players, the diamond thing is just too complicated unless you are in a side that knows the way each other plays. We have had a lot of changes and surely bedding them in with a simple 442 would sort out everything. Play Sakamoto as the wide midfielder safe in the knowledge that there is a full back behind him to cover the space. Id be interested if any of you guys play/played in the diamond for your clubs and how you found it was to play?
What’s a win ? Asking for a friendI've got a funny feeling we're going to get a big win here, and everyone's going to be confused as to how to react.
Only we can spend so much money in a transfer window and still end up with a depleted squad.With MVE out with a quad tear, this is looking increasingly worrying…
Eccles at RWB or having to switch DaSilva there (as suggested in another thread) doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence.
I would happily take the most scrappy, disjointed, appalling 1-0 off Wilson’s crotch in the 93rd minute at this stage. PUSB.
I think Robins is going to have to give up whatever hopes he had of overhauling our playing style this season and just be as pragmatic as possible. It’s a bridge year now.Now with no recognised RWB I think going to 4 at the back just became a serious option.

In previous seasons a serious injury has forced us into a better tactical system, maybe this will do the same.DaSilva, Kitching, Thomas, Lati.

Yeah, I was gonna say, the only silver lining here is that Robins is typically very good at dealing with this stuff.In previous seasons a serious injury has forced us into a better tactical system, maybe this will do the same.
Would go withI think Robins is going to have to give up whatever hopes he had of overhauling our playing style this season and just be as pragmatic as possible. It’s a bridge year now.
Please Eccles over KellyWould go with
Collins
JDS
Kitching
McF/Thomas
Lati
Kelly
Ayari
Saka
Palmer
Allen
Godden/Simms
The work rate of Saka and Allen should compensate for Palmer’s…positioning shall we say.
Kelly is normally better when he starts I thinkPlease Eccles over Kelly

He needs to reorganise to get Simms, Ayari, Allen and Sakamoto in.
And get Palmer out.
Possibly in a 4 4 2.
Never going to happen.
Yep - see also the L2 season where we gradually shifted from a mostly ineffective 4231 to a more pragmatic 442 after Andreu and Jones got injured.TBH we've generally been better when we've been pragmatic e.g. the League 1 title winning season, we were playing a 4-3-3 possession based game that was flipped to 3-5-2 at half time of the Fleetwood due to injury iirc - we never looked back and McFadz (who came on at half time that night) hasn't either.
Probably just play Sakamoto as a winger and use Eccles in the 4. Or Dasila on the left, Sakamoto on the right and Bidwell cover as left back.How, realistically are all 4 of them playing in a 4-4-2? a central midfield of Allen and Ayari? Who is on each wing?
I guess you missed the poll where, checks notes, 2 people out of 101 said we'd be relegated?Can't believe we've been relegated after 7 games for the second season in a row ffs
