I mean, it is hard to argue that anything we can do would be any worse.

Don't quote me on that and offer Dabo at CDM or Marosi up front though!

Good idea.

With Swedish and Norwegian being very similar, they could also speak in code to throw off the opposition.

To be fair I think we may go with
4-3-2-1
Wilson
Dabo - Osti - Hyam - McCallum
Hamer - James - Allen
Ohare - Giles
Gyokeres

And Gyokeres is a left sides so by some peoples point of veiw will be able to play just as good because he is a left sided player at left CB ......My mind is blown.....

The 5 at the back just isn't working for me. Even though Dabo is one of our best players, it is a lost cause every game because we don't capitalise on his creativity. With McFadzean out, it gives us a chance to change something anyway.

I like the look of your 4-3-3 with Allen in there. I would still play O'Hare in the front three even though he is dog shit in front of goal. The energy and fight is something we need at the moment.

I think O’Hare needs a rest. I think half our squad needs a rest TBF. Also I wanted to get Bapaga and Gilesin, but in reality he’sbe a better shout than Bapaga. Just so frustrating at the moment. Can’t think of anything good he’s done in the final third since the first few games of the season. And I don’t want Shipley anywhere near the pitch.

Problem with that is you have to bring Shipley on at 70 mins for James in holding midfield.

Now is the time for Camp, Wilson and Marosi to lead the line. Betting my house that’s what he goes with.

If we're gonna go two up front, I'd go:

Marosi
Drysdale/Thompson Ostigard Hyam
Dabo Sheaf James McCallum
Hamer
Gyokeres Bakayoko

If it looks like it's not working with Baka, bring O'Hare on and go one up front again

I can't see Robins going with the two, he'll probably just bring in Drysdale, Thompson or maybe Pask and keep things pretty much the same

OHare owes us a goal..... big time. I’m going for a nervy 1-0 with COH finally working out that the general consensus on scoring a goal is to get the ball in the gaps either side of the big bloke standing in the middle of the goal.

We will either play 4231 or 5221 because Robins is stubborn and will not change his system

Sheaf may drop into central defence to keep the same system.

Fwiw, I thought we largely bossed the midfield (particularly first half). Dabo and Sam need to get up high to provide the width. The 46th min goal killed us last night. Naivety and poor finishing took all the wind out of our sails.

Indeed, fuck all to do with tactics

Unfortunately I think you're right. Don't like the idea of playing an injured Biamou though, and at least Bakayoko will put the work in.

Think I'm just hoping (praying) Baka will miraculously have one of those games where he's everywhere and proves us all wrong, but I think his confidence is just shot to bits now

If he scores whilst playing for us this season then I will be the first to pray to god that he keeps scoring

If I could change one key thing about our approach, it is for Dabo and McCallum to minimise playing balls square into our Centre backs on the likely iffy playing surface, With Sam, in particular, drive down the wing - usually worse case we gain a throw in (and Sam has a long throw), but we minimise the risk of the dodgy pass backs; for me he has been playing the % keep the ball. turning back, for no obvious benefit, particularly on poor playing surfaces. Always fancied myself as a tactical genius (like most on here!)

Not having this 'they need a rest' lark. They have another week gap before the next game. Champ teams were playing long into last season too.
Just not been hitting the levels we need. Nothing will boost the mood more than a couple of goals and a win. Simple as.

Hopefully Marosi
Dabo Leo Hyam McCallum
Hamer Sheaf James
Allen Bapaga
Viktor
We’d need fullbacks to actually attack, there’s a novel idea

Start Viktor and Max up top. Work back from there. We need to attack these lot and get three points.

If we don't go 4-4-2 against these and play attacking then we will not be attacking for rest of the season.....

Sadly I don't see us playing 4-4-2 if not I prey we scrape a 0-0 draw as any other formation will probably yield that as best result.
If we could pinch three points it would be massive!
