Robins did from time to time like a "free jazz" team selection

Maybe Lampard is trying to keep those pining for Robins happy.

Reckon this is something he needs to work on. Lampard wishes he was Robins. Instead of feeling like we have appointed an elite tactician it feels like an apprentice filling in for his master. Sure that'll change as he makes the squad his own.

I hope whatever the experiment ends up being, it works.

However, massive change doesn’t usually yield instant success from my experience as a Cov fan!

I would like to see Tavares and Raphael given a proper game. The others aren't scoring so let's try it. Everyone expects us to lose this anyway and we seem so impotent up front, especially without the two/three injured attackers. I'd even be happy to Allen given a go, I think he's always solid and seems to have been unfairly sidelined this season...

If Allen is to play at least use him further forward with a vague goal threat as opposed to being put in a boys against men role further back.

Trying to work it out tbh.

If Raphael is starting then imagine it’s a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 which isn’t the change promised.

Could be a 4-4-2 but imo that would force Rudoni onto the wing leaving BTA and Norman up front which I don’t think would work.

Weird idea could be a 5-3-2 with wingers as the wingbacks but I’d worry for us playing out the back (fuck it play Ben Sheaf as the central CB ).

6 3 1 with Rafael up front

I'd find it a bit strange if Allen started. He's played 20 mins in the last two months since returning, rarely gets off the bench and clearly isn't fancied by FL.

But I guess we need to try something in midfield and maybe his energy will help.

Filling in the gaps, if you’re playing Bassette, Allen and BTA, you’re planning to cover a lot of ground.

Maybe a 4-2-4 shape? Something like:

Dovin
MVE
Thomas
Lati
Bidwell
Rapha
Sheaf/Eccles
Allen
BTA
Simms
Bassette

Could be a shout but would seem weird after the pre match comments on Rudoni. Unless Rudonis on the wing instead of BTA

Shit and boring that's our complete game plan these days isn't it?

Good point.

If the Sheaf talk is true, then perhaps he isn’t played today and someone has to partner Allen which I’d expect it to be Eccles but Rudoni could be there. Alternatively, the more likely scenario is Bassette and BTA upfront with Rudoni and Rapha on the wings.

Which would be unfair on Simms as he played well against Cardiff and deserves a run in the team.

I imagine whatever this experiment is it’s only a stopgap until Wright, EMC and Tats are fully fit again and we can play a 433 effectively.

Just want a decent performance. Anything to give me some hope that Lampard might turn it around. 8 games of shite now and I’m sick of it. One good performance where we fight and look like we’re trying to win please.

Lati in midfield, BTA on the right, Rudoni on the left. This is going to be the stodgiest game of all time.

Wtf... That looks so unbalanced
Simms dropped straight back out again is odd to say the least.
Fingers crossed we have some type of masterplan.
