Sensing a twitchy pre season meltdown on the forum, with today's match proving we're doomed !

Teams all over the place player wise though. That's pre season for you.

I have watched 0 minutes of pre season so am completely unqualified on the matter but I’m gonna be the first to say as a rule I fucking hate 5-3-2 as a formation. Wish we’d sack it off.

It doesn't sound as if the formation will work, Grimmer isn't a cb

Best time to have a look at things is in pre season. Trust in the Gaffer. Unless we start losing, then sack him. No mercy.

The best game l saw him play last season was when he played CB against Walsall away in the checkatrade, he won everything.

Haha ROBINS OUT!!! Yeah if he’s gonna trial it, perfect time to do it, just have never been convinced by it. Much prefer 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 or pretty much anything but 5 at the back.

Good to see we’re wasting our pre-season playing a formation we don’t have the players for. Great work.

Sounds like we're going to be relegated by 4 o'clock tonight.

Also, cannot understand for a second us experimenting in pre season either. Surely we should wait until we have important league games to do it?

Went to the league game there last season, it's nearly on par with Luton.

We can just blame Burge for any goals we concede.

Also have 2 centre halves on the bench even without Willis.

Signed wing backs especially for it

We don’t have the centre backs to play it or the strikers. Plus how do you accommodate Jones and Allasani?

You give them free roles.

We have plenty of cbs once all fit, it looks like robins rates Thomson too

So you just play them in unfamiliar roles and hope it works out?

And we have plenty of centre backs but McDonald is the only left sided one and he was abysmal in the second half of last season and none of them can bring it out from the back or pass the ball, both crucial in this system.

Hyam is an excellent passer.

Davies is left sided isn't he?

Hardly in unfamiliar is it to have them buzzing around by the striker.

It's probably why he is trying it in pre season rather than halfway through

I have just decided I reckon that the best thing to do in the circumstances is to top myself.

The whole thing has gone pear shaped and I can't cope.

We are a disgrace and I blame all the players that are missing today too for that.
