With Injuries etc could it be like this?

Allsopp

Willis - Johnson - Webster

Clarke - Swanson - Fleck - Obrien - Haynes

Tudgay - Jackson

When Pugh is back, it looks quite an experienced first 11 doesn't it?

spider_ricoh · Aug 18, 2014

Except for the total lack of genuine centre midfielders, yes.

Paddy9239 · Aug 18, 2014

Suddenly looks a very good side at this level. I don't why we didn't try 352 last season with Christie and Adams. Fleck & Thomas as a base with Moussa playing off Clarke and Wilson.

Really pleased with Jackson though, should be class in league one.

Could maybe sit Swanson behind strikers

edgy · Aug 18, 2014

Jackson won't start for a while. Not fit.

dongonzalos · Aug 18, 2014

Need a genuine right wing back

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Aug 18, 2014

I think there is an argument for Haynes to keep his place ahead of Pugh if he keeps performing to a good level, we're also looking to bring in a centre half so Willis/Webster could yet be pushed out of that team.

Apart from that looks a decent team, could do with more attacking/pacey wing back instead of Clarke.

Gint11 · Aug 18, 2014

What a signing Jackson could be. Get him fit he will score goals in this league. Mega impressed with this signing...Feeling a lot more hopeful now.

Phillips to out on loan to a league two club to man up abit for me.. yes cameo roles looked ok, but not ready for week in week out consistent game time just yet... plus got ripped apart at Nuneaton in pre season.

covcity4life · Aug 18, 2014

i like swanson and o brien in midfield personally even if they are naturally wingers. give us a bit more drive,trickery and attacking intent than we usualy have on top of fleck the maestro inbetween them.

coubilally is nearing fitness too, will he play same position as swanson/obrien?

What's up with Pugh? Agreed, a good squad now

ccfcmustang · Aug 18, 2014

I do feel like we need a centre midfielder that will just sit there and bully people but i must say, fleck swanson and o brien dominated the midfield on saturday

KersleyDigs · Aug 18, 2014

Things suddenly looking up!

Good first 11 that, with a decent bench:

Burge
Miller
Baker
McQuoid
Thomas
Phillips
Daniels
Finch

Think the andy thorn diamond could work for us this season. Tudgay and jackson up front;
Fleck at the top, obrian and Swanson on the wings with the holding player behind (not thomas he needs a brake)

Haynes/Pugh, big reda, webster, clarke

Alsopp

What's good is we seem to have cover and competition in the squad now. A holding player is what we're missing and new centre half for cover.

Coubilally can play either wing, hes more of a wide player with out and out pace, and trickery..

I'm taking the piss. But do think we're more suited to 4-4-2 with the players we've brought in.

If 3-5-2 don't work for van gaal and united because of lack of holding players and true wing backs it ain't going to work for Elvis and his sky blues.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Aug 18, 2014

Can we not call it the Andy Thorn Diamond, it's just a diamond. He doesn't own the formation.

Skybluesimon · Aug 18, 2014

Everytime I see a team playing a diamond,
E. G Liverpool, I think of the Andy Thorn ways and why it didn't work for us.

Long live the Andy Thorn Diamond!

He was a good manager. Didn't he do well at kiddiminster?

Whenever I saw him he was smashed. Seems everyone says the same.

Don't ruin it, some people think he invented it!

I used to use the diamond for all football video games, until Thorn sullied its name.

There's definitely "the diamond" and "the Andy Thorn diamond" in my mind.

JulianDarbyFTW · Aug 18, 2014

Isn't this the Thorn diamond?

Careful Letsall will be on to you for slagging a former manager off.
