I can accept a slow start but two things are missing this year. Entertainment and Passion.
That really pisses me off.
I can accept a slow start but two things are missing this year. Entertainment and Passion.we do this every season, start awful then one game turns it around, i reckon 3-3 then beat Blackburn and beat sheff Weds and robins is the saviour again
Must admit Saturday wasn’t much fun but as bad as we were we still could of won that,we’re making enough chances to win every game, and that’s the problem, not taking our chances and I don’t mean half chances, we’ve missed some absolute sitters, watford Norwich and spurs should of been game over at half time,we’re not playing that bad,I can accept a slow start but two things are missing this year.

that’s the point FFS we’re not scoring enough,Should HAVE/could HAVE ffs
that’s the point FFS we’re not scoring enough,
Norwich had 1 shot on target scored 1
spurs had 4 shots on target, scored 2
swansea had 4 shots on target scored 2
we had more in all of those games, there’s the problem
While I'm not arguing about it,that would surely create frustration by the Scouting team and possibly the owner if we're constantly flipping between styles,no?Three at the back is a must. Our success has come from that formation. Let’s get back to it, protect the goal, defend, block…all the basics. Then it’s down to the attack. Time to see what our strikers are really made of.

Robins said at the start of the season we’ll be winning games by just out scoring teams,he knows the defence isn’t good enough,think he was hoping the forwards would be firing from the off, not quitethat’s the point FFS we’re not scoring enough,

A very English and Nordic line up there...quite like itLine Up I would go for. Think back to basics with the back three. Wingers haven’t been brilliant so thought to start most on the bench and then we can rotate if needs be.
Thinking we go a bit deeper and play a DM to help support the CBs and break up play. If sheaf is fit I’d start him here in place of Eccles and move Eccles to Cm in place of Torp.
Simms starts as feel we’ll need a outlet here to get us of our half and feel BTA could easily make up some work rate and do well with flick ons.

The Netherlands isn't 'Nordic'. So you've got 1 Dane.A very English and Nordic line up there...quite like it
I do agree. That said I think its the year's anniversary of the draw at home to Huddersfield or Rotherham (some nondescript Yorkshire team) where Ayari scored with his nob. That game was as equally as dispiriting as anything we've seen this season so on that basis I'm keeping the faith that we will kick on soon. Hopefully Sheaf coming back will be the spark we need.I can accept a slow start but two things are missing this year. Entertainment and Passion.

He will more likely be rushed back out of desperation, and end up injured for even longer.I do agree.

Probably but don't bring my mood down when I'm trying to be positive, mate.He will more likely be rushed back out of desperation, and end up injured for even longer.
Apologies, go ahead.Probably but don't bring my mood down when I'm trying to be positive, mate.

There may be a case for going back to 3ATB while still allowing us an attacking threat, but it would leave us with a few signings that wouldn't fit into that shape IMO.

Of course we have no idea when Sheaf will be back, so you're looking at Allen in there (if he's not injured too). JD is the more obvious LWB but always gets caught out with a ball over the top so I'd stick with Bidwell. MvE would also have a huge amount of running to do and with no back-up for him I fear he'd suffer an injury.
Of course, with the defence MR would obviously fill one of those spots with Lati instead (or put him into the midfield due to injuries).
You could still have Wright and BTA on the bench to come on a strikers, though Saka would be redundant and EMC might be too unless he could also play up front if needed.
So although it's an option it probably doesn't suit the squad we've got.
No, it’s boring and without an outstanding target man like Vik we’ll get nowhere with it (see: beginning of 23/24)Three at the back is a must. Our success has come from that formation. Let’s get back to it, protect the goal, defend, block…all the basics. Then it’s down to the attack. Time to see what our strikers are really made of.
Shit.
Knew I'd missed someone out.
Will edit.

Wouldn't be surprised though to see MVE pushed forward into Saka's spot and Lati to play at right back.
I remember being at Plymouth getting 66/1 on JDS 1st goalscorer when playing left of a front three.Or thinking on, even JDS to play further forward on the left with Bidwell at left back.

Genuinely had to Google "Hanseatic", everyday's a school day!It’s a very Hanseatic League lineup
